Hello World!

First, build and flash the FOTA image.

cd esp8266-env
source activate.sh
cd fota/webui
npm install

cd ..
make cleanup_map6params
make flash_map6webui
make flash_map6user1

You may use make screen to view esp debug console. use CTRL+A then k to exit.

Then search for WIFI access point named something like NewDevice_xxxxxxxxxxx , connect and open the address http://192.168.43.1 to configure the newly cooked device. Then press reboot.

Use uns resolve to find the new device's IP Address:

uns d home.NewDevice

Output example:

192.168.8.162:5333: home.NewDevice

Some routers will not work with multicast properly, if the previous command failed, you may edit the ~/.cache/uns and add this line:

192.168.8.162 home.NewDevice

Now, create and transfer the helloworld firmware over the air using:

esp8266-newproject helloworld
cd helloworld
make fotamap6
make fota HOST=$(uns d -s home.NewDevice)

or edit the Makefile and set HOST ?= home.newDevice to make it simpler.
