The firmware can be installed via the esptool utility. There are two different releade binaries existing:
- vX.X_esp32_esp-led-matrix.bin for ESP32
- vX.X_esp8266_esp-led-matrix.bin for ESP8266 or ESP8285
The esptool can be installed via pip:
python3 -m pip install esptool
To programm an ESP8266 or EPS8285, following command can be issued:
(for firmware version v1.0, COM-Port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART)
python3 -m esptool --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART \
--baud 115200 \
write_flash 0x0 \
v1.0_esp8266_esp-led-matrix.bin
To programm an ESP32, following command can be issued:
(for firmware version v1.0, COM-Port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART)
python3 -m esptool --port /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART \
--baud 115200 \
write_flash -z 0x1000 \
