hmm, I can't seem to figure out at which hex addresses the bin files should be placed.

Tried 0x10000 for firmware.bin and 0x4000 and 0x25000 for spiffs.bin, but that does not work.
I'm using the esp32 download tool from espressif.
Can I find the addresses somewhere?

Update: finally managed to build and upload a spiffs.bin through platformio and upload the firmware.bin with the esptool and got it working now. I'm guessing there have been some changes in the platformio configuration that made it impossible to build the firmware.

Other update: uploaded tasmota webcam software to the ESP32 cam. Works like a charm.

Did anyone install an esp32 cam these days. I installed latest Visual Studio Code, folllowed the instructions but keep getting:

Thanks, Ron

Tried to upload the files to the ESP32-cam as described under “First time files upload”, but when I try to compile, Platformio keeps throwing an error. I’am new to Visual Studio Code/PlatformIO and can’t get rid of a error message about not finding “the package with ‘alanswx/ESPAsyncWiFiManager @ ˄0.22’.

That's why I want to upload both bin files (firmware.bin and spiffs.bin) to the ESP32 cam with the esp32 download tool from Espressif.

I can't seem to figure out at which hex addresses the bin files should be placed. Which addresses should I use for this?

Thanks!

Posted: **Saturday 13 July 2024 16:52**

Use

Code: Select all

alanswx/ESPAsyncWiFiManager @ ^0.31

Posted: **Sunday 14 July 2024 13:54**

Yes, thanks, that problem solved.

But now new errors (deleting en reinstalling the package "framework-arduinoespressif32" without result).

Any idea?

This is an OLD project, started some 4 years ago. I compiled it at that time. Tried to compile it now and ran into some errors.
Tried different (older) platform ([email protected]) that solved some of the problems, but not all.
The only persons that could possibly help are the 2 git users Hoeby and jvanderzande of which both are still present in this form:
@hoeby and @jvdz

Posted: **Sunday 14 July 2024 19:37**

I saw the question, but haven't compiled/looked at this myself for a long time now, as we stopped with the development.

Posted: **Monday 15 July 2024 6:45**

It looks to me that the partitioning was from the 'default.csv'.
So from that file you could take the addresses. (no guarantee)
Normally you can find that file in:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\<version>\tools\partitions

Posted: **Tuesday 16 July 2024 20:50**

Thanks for responding, hoping for a solution, I already purchased the hardware and a printed 3d case.

The contents of the default.csv:

# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
nvs, data, nvs, 0x9000, 0x5000,
otadata, data, ota, 0xe000, 0x2000,
app0, app, ota_0, 0x10000, 0x140000,
app1, app, ota_1, 0x150000,0x140000,
spiffs, data, spiffs, 0x290000,0x160000,
coredump, data, coredump,0x3F0000,0x10000,

So I tried the offset:
firmware.bin 0x10000
spiffs.bin 0x290000

and also
firmware.bin 0x150000
spiffs.bin 0x290000

Both times writing went ok without errors and ended with "is stub and send flash finish"

But both uploads did not result that the camera came in into Wifi AP mode (no ESP Doorbell ssid).

Posted: **Tuesday 16 July 2024 21:15**

Why do you need all of this? When you follow the available wiki the segmentation is part of the steps when using platformio to upload the firmware and data files

Posted: **Wednesday 17 July 2024 7:38**

@jvdz Because it did not compile.
I changed the JSON lib to an old(er) one and then it did compile.
Try in platformio.ini:

Code: Select all

	bblanchon/[email protected]

And be sure to remove the ' ^ '

Posted: **Wednesday 17 July 2024 9:25**

I've made some changes to my local version of the project to make it compile again:

replaced SPIFFS for LittleFS as support for SPIFFS is dropped
replaced "me-no-dev/ESP Async WebServer@^1.2.3" with "https://github.com/me-no-dev/ESPAsyncWebServer.git" as workaround.
There seems to be an issue with this for a while now in Platformio.

After that, the source compiled fine, but still need to test loading it to the ESP32CAM.
I also see that there are 24 commits in de Development branch which aren't merged into the Master yet.
Will test my changes first we I have some time later today/tomorrow and commit when working.

Posted: **Wednesday 17 July 2024 16:38**

I can't get it to work at the moment... get a "brown out" when the Wifi is trying to connect and have no idea's left to try to fix that.

Posted: **Wednesday 17 July 2024 17:11**

Code: Select all

#include "soc/soc.h"
#include "soc/rtc_cntl_reg.h"
void setup(){
WRITE_PERI_REG(RTC_CNTL_BROWN_OUT_REG, 0); //disable brownout detector

Might help, because probably a power issue (on the wifi connect).

Posted: **Wednesday 17 July 2024 18:10**

Seen that one and tried it...

Posted: **Sunday 04 August 2024 12:13**

Thanks !

I don't know exactly how ("try and error"), but finally I got it working with the settings in the platform.ini:
- platform = [email protected]
- alanswx/ESPAsyncWiFiManager@^0.31.0
- bblanchon/[email protected]

Camera is working now, also added it with succes to Domoticz.

Another question (I am a noob...): when I push the button, a snapshot should be saved in /var/tmp ?
Nothing happens/no files saved in that dir

additonal information:
The push button apparently does not communicate with Domoticz at all. Switching a dummy/virtual switch (in this case with idx 724) also does not work.

Do you have write rights to /var/tmp ??
