RX to RX of Arduino UNO (through level converter)Ĭircuit Diagram for Flashing the Firmware to ESP8266.We will implement the same setup here as well. If you remember in the GETTING STARTED WITH ESP8266 AND ARDUINO project, I’ve mentioned that GPIO0 and RST Pins of the ESP8266 Module play an important role in configuring it in Download Mode. Hardware Setup for ESP8266 Firmware Updateīefore proceeding into the process of updating the ESP8266 SoC’s Firmware, it is important to configure the ESP8266 WiFi Module in Download Mode or Programming Mode. Downloading the ESP8266 Flash Download Tool.Downloading the Latest ESP8266 Firmware.

The ESP8266 Firmware can be installed for two reasons: If you want to update the ESP8266 Firmware to its latest version or to completely install the new firmware (in case it was overwritten by any program).

So, in this project, we will flash the official Espressif Systems’ firmware for ESP8266 Module using the official ESP8266 Flasher Tool provided by Espressif Systems which is the ESP8266 FLASH DOWNLOAD TOOL and Arduino UNO as the USB to Serial Interface. This leads to a lot of questions like whether the firmware is original or not, is the firmware up to date or not and many other. In my case, I have the ESP8266 ESP-01 Module by AI-Thinker. In the same project, I’ve mentioned that by default, the ESP8266 ESP-01 Module comes with an AT Command Firmware.īut if we write our own program to access the GPIO Pins (like we did in the previous project), the existing firmware will be completely erased and the new program will be written.Įven though ESP8266 WiFi Module is manufactured by Espressif Systems, the SoC is used by many third party manufacturers to implement their own custom modules.

In the previous ESP8266 Project, we have seen how to write our own program in ESP8266 using Arduino IDE and control an LED using the GPIO Pins. This project can also be used if you want to update to the latest ESP8266 Firmware. If you were like me and had never worked with configurable silicon, Creator hides the VHDL with a graphical drag-n-drop metaphor, but the learning curve was rough on me due to having to go to numerous options for required configurations.This is the second project on ESP8266 and in this project, I’ll show you how to flash the Official Espressif Firmware in ESP8266 using Arduino. The full Cypress Creator software and standard libraries (newlib is used for the M0+ ARM core) system is freeware. Note the break-off section of the board, this is the USB-serial section. (I’ve often wondered if life starts out as 4200 and then if the yield is low, it gets tested and re-branded as 4100?)įor anyone reading that is not familiar with these little boards: While Cypress sold the 41/4200 both for $4, the 4200 has enhanced analog capabilities and an overall better feature set. Remember, the trick does not apply to the less capable PSoC 4100 prototype board, just the 4200. So its good to know I can program one of my PSoCs as a programmer if necessary.
