Hi,
I'd like to flash some bespoke software onto an ESP32-C3 Athom plug I currently have both ESPHome and Tasmota sample plugs so I can pick either for this question.
I've built my bespoke App on the 2.3.2 Arduino IDE and it runs perfectly on a number of ESP32-C3 dev boards (e.g. Seeed Studio & ESP32-C3-DevKitM1-1)
Question: If I use the IDE's 'Export Compiled Binary' option to make a .bin file, can I expect the Tasmota 'Load from File' option to work so that the plug will then run my bespoke firmware after a restart ?
Background:
To avoid bricking my Tasmota plug, I tried to load and run the Tasmota FW on a Dev Board (this worked ok) but when I then tried to 'replace' Tasmota with my code using Tasmota's 'Load from File' option, it failed.
All suggestions welcome 🙂
Thanks.
Great information about firmware loading! Today, the trend of customizing hardware with tailored software solutions is gaining momentum in fields like healthcare, manufacturing, and automotive. IT consulting companies typically take an integrated approach, designing systems where hardware and software work together seamlessly, often leveraging IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. They use agile methods to continuously refine hardware designs based on real-time feedback, ensuring the solution meets specific business needs. Many companies focus on creating custom-built devices that are optimized for particular software applications. Looking ahead, AI-driven hardware that can adjust and improve itself based on usage patterns could be a real game changer. Quantum computing and edge computing are also expected to revolutionize how hardware supports real-time decision-making and boosts computational power. In the future, cross-disciplinary teams that combine expertise in software, hardware, and data analytics will be essential in pushing the limits of innovation.
Great guide on loading bespoke firmware into a plug! It's always interesting to learn about customizing hardware with tailored software. For those who might be curious about the broader context of this process, what is bespoke software development? It’s amazing how specialized software solutions can optimize hardware performance.
Did you find a solution for this?
ESP32's Tasmota uses a special partition, so it is not recommended to try it on a Tasmota device, or you can try it with esphome, provided that your firmware partition is the same as the esphome partition
