Link your board

WIFI

The default connected WIFI SSID is DAP or OTA , password 12345678

Support for specifying multiple possible WAP. It can be added here: wifi_configuration.h

You can also specify your IP in the above file (We recommend using the static address binding feature of the router).

There is built-in ipv4 only mDNS server. You can access the device using dap.local.

The mDNS in ESP8266 only supports ipv4.

Hardware Reference

Only a hardware reference for the ESP8266 is currently available.

Here we provide a simple example for reference:

Alternatively, you can connect directly with wires as we gave at the beginning, without additional circuits.

In addition, a complete hardware reference design is available from contributors, see circuit

Build And Flash

You can build locally or use Github Action to build online and then download firmware to flash.

Build with Github Action Online

See: Build with Github Action

General build and Flash

ESP8266

1. Get ESP8266 RTOS Software Development Kit

   The SDK is already included in the project. Please don't use other versions of the SDK.

2. Build & Flash

   Build with ESP-IDF build system. More information can be found at the following link: Build System

The following example shows a possible way to build on Windows:

# Build
python ./idf.py build
# Flash
python ./idf.py -p /dev/ttyS5 flash

ESP32/ESP32C3

1. Get esp-idf

   For now, please use esp-idf v4.4.2 : https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/tag/v4.4.2

2. Build & Flash

   Build with ESP-IDF build system. More information can be found at the following link: Build System

The following example shows a possible way to build:

# Set build target
idf.py set-target esp32
# Build
idf.py build
# Flash
idf.py -p /dev/ttyS5 flash

The idf.py in the project root directory is only applicable to the old ESP8266 target. Don't use it in ESP32.

We also provided sample firmware for quick evaluation. See Releases

Usage

1. Get USBIP project

• Windows: usbip-win .
• Linux: Distributed as part of the Linux kernel, but we have not yet tested on Linux platform, and the following instructions are all under Windows platform.

1. Start ESP chip and connect it to the device to be debugged

2. Connect it with usbip:

# HID Mode only
# for pre-compiled version on SourceForge
# or usbip old version
.\\usbip.exe -D -a   1-1

#  Recommend
# HID Mode Or WinUSB Mode
# for usbip-win 0.3.0 kmdf ude
.\\usbip.exe attach_ude -r  -b 1-1

If all goes well, you should see your device connected.

Here, we use MDK for testing:

FAQ

Keil is showing a "RDDI-DAP ERROR" or "SWD/JTAG Communication Failure" message.

1. Check your line connection. Don't forget the 3v3 connection cable.
2. Check that your network connection is stable.

DAP is slow or often abnormal.

Note that this project is sensitive to the network environment. If you are using a hotspot on your computer, you can try using network analyzer such as wireshark to observe the status of your AP network. During the idle time, the network should stay silent, while in the working state, there should be no too much packet loss.

Some LAN broadcast packets can cause serious impact, including:

• DropBox LAN Sync
• Logitech Arx Control
• ...

For ESP8266, this is not far from UDP FLOOD...

It is also affected by the surrounding radio environment, your AP situation (some NICs have terrible AP performance), distance, etc.

Speed Strategy

The maximum rate of esp8266 pure IO is about 2MHz. When you select max clock, we will take the following actions:

• clock = 10MHz : SPI acceleration using 40MHz clock.

Note that the most significant speed constraint of this project is still the TCP connection speed.

For OpenOCD user

This project was originally designed to run on Keil, but now you can also perform firmware flash on OpenOCD.

> halt
> flash write_image [erase] [unlock] filename [offset] [type]

pyOCD is now supported.

System OTA

When this project is updated, you can update the firmware over the air.

Visit the following website for OTA operations: online OTA

For most devices, you don't need to care about flash size. However, improper setting of the flash size may cause the OTA to fail. In this case, please change the flash size with idf.py menuconfig, or modify sdkconfig:

# Choose a flash size.
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_1MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_2MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_4MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_8MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_16MB=y

# Then set a flash size
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE="2MB"

If flash size is 2MB, the sdkconfig file might look like this:

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_2MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE="2MB"

For devices with 1MB flash size such as ESP8285, the following changes must be made:

CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_FILENAME="partitions_two_ota.1MB.csv"
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_1MB=y
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE="1MB"
CONFIG_ESP8266_BOOT_COPY_APP=y

The flash size of the board can be checked with the esptool.py tool:

esptool.py -p (PORT) flash_id

Uart TCP Bridge

This feature provides a bridge between TCP and Uart:

Send data   ->  TCP  ->  Uart TX -> external devices
