Integrate filesystem into image

[carsten]

Hi,

is there an easy way to integrate files into the image (apart from frozen modules)? E.g. supplying my own filesystem image.


Thanks,
Carsten

In this MicroPython port you can prepare file system image and flash it to your board.

Thanks!

Edit:
So. I ended up using my own fat image (macOS: brew install dosfstools, most likely included in most Linux distributions):

Code: Select all

$ dd if=/dev/zero of=test.img bs=1m count=2
$ mkfs.fat -S 4096 -f 1 -s 1 test.img
mount the image, copy files...
$ esptool.py (...) write_flash 0x200000 test.img

The offset is hardcoded in modesp.c, esp.user_flash_start().

Thank you! This worked like a charm!
Do you know how can I merge this generated image into a single '.bin'?
Ideally I'd like to merge this partition into one of the official MicroPython images.

I tried to use the esptool for that but no luck: https://github.com/espressif/esptool/issues/254
