How to build release like binary

[lhoff94]

Hi,

I build the esp32 build for the first time today and tried flashing it like I'm used to it with esptool but it didn't work.
esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash -z 0x1000 micropython.bin
The same command works with the binaries from the official website.
Using the commandline that idf gave after the build was complete (with bootloader and partition table) worked.
I assume the binaries from the website come with the bootloader and partition table included. How can I do this myself?

I tried finding a github action within the micropython repo that triggers the release build and contains the command but couldn't find something.

Thanks in advance

You need to use firmware.bin which is the combined firmware that you're talking about. See instructions at

Oh Well. I shouldn't ask questions when I'm tired in the middle of the night.
I read the README multiple times but missed or misunderstood that part.
Thanks.
