Release 2.0.0

The first stable release of the NetIgnite ESP32 agent v2, for
NetIgnite Server 2.0.0. No changes
since 2.0.0-beta.2.

Important

Coming from v1? Boards with the v1 firmware (built with PlatformIO and config.h) can't
connect to a v2 server. Install 2.0.0 once over USB with the web installer in the dashboard: the
agent's Install tab, in Chrome, Edge or Firefox 151+. The partition table changed for updates
over the network, so this USB install is needed once; later versions install over the network.

What's new in v2

• Set up from the browser. The server's web installer flashes the firmware together with the
  agent's setup data (server address, name, a single-use enrollment token). Wi-Fi is entered in the
  browser and sent to the board over USB; it never reaches the server. No more PlatformIO or
  config.h.
• Settings in flash: Wi-Fi, server address, static IP, name and log level. Wi-Fi changes with
  the web installer or the serial console, everything else also from the dashboard's console.
• Its own credential: the agent registers with the single-use token and generates its secret
  itself; the server only stores a hash.
• Wake-on-LAN and status checks by IPv6 link-local address (from the MAC), IPv4, IPv6,
  host name and TCP port.
• SSH: logs in to devices in its network for status checks and to shut them down or reboot them
  (fixed commands, trusted host keys only).
• Updates over the network: the agent checks size and SHA-256 (and the ECDSA P-256 signature if
  the firmware was built with a public key). The new firmware is on probation: if it crashes or
  doesn't reach the server within 5 minutes, the previous firmware starts again.
• Console in the dashboard: live log, diagnostics, log level, server address, host name and IP
  settings, restart and factory reset.

Hardware

A classic ESP32 with 4 MB flash (for example an ESP32 DevKit with an ESP32-WROOM or -WROVER module)
and a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network with WPA, WPA2 or WPA3-Personal. The ESP32-S3, -C3 and other chips
aren't supported. The board must be in the same network and subnet as the devices it wakes.

Files

File	For
firmware-factory.bin	All parts merged; flash at 0x0 for a manual install with esptool
bootloader.bin, partitions.bin, boot_app0.bin, firmware.bin	The parts the web installer flashes; firmware.bin is also the update over the network
release.json	Version, SHA-256 and offsets, read by the NetIgnite server

You don't need to download anything by hand: the NetIgnite server fetches this release for its web
installer and for updates.
