OTA Firmware Updates ?!?

[cgglzpy]

To make it really enduser friendly the "OTA updater" should have a GUI I guess...

A simple TK GUI is quickly made.
But then we come to the bigger problem: How to offer an end-user GUI program written in Python?

Actually, it's just: git clone and pipenv run gui

Well, let's see

As Jan said PyQt is quite straightforward, cross-platform and with Pyinstaller you can package the python app into a stand-alone executable to make easier to distribute

And if you are working with python and MicroPython webserver apps, you may want to have a look at the python module webbrowser too.

From https://github.com/pfalcon/yaota8266 README:

Unlike many other solutions, yaota8266 does not require reserving FlashROM space of 2x the size of the firmware.

What I ask myself: What are all the other solutions?

If you search the net for "OTA solution for ESP8266", you will find a lot around Arduino. Finally: https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/ ... eadme.html

But i didn't find other solutions than yaota8266 for updating the micropython firmware.

Did a bit of a re-write of rdehuyss's GitHub implementation, check it out here: https://github.com/smysnk/micropython-ota-updater
