# esphomeflasher
|
|
|
|
esphomeflasher is a utility app for the [esphomelib](https://esphomelib.com/esphomeyaml/index.html)
|
|
framework and is designed to make flashing ESPs with esphomelib as simple as possible by:
|
|
|
|
* Having pre-built binaries for most operating systems.
|
|
* Hiding all non-essential options for flashing. All necessary options for flashing
|
|
(bootloader, flash mode) are automatically extracted from the binary.
|
|
|
|
This project was originally intended to be a simple command-line tool,
|
|
but then I decided that a GUI would be nice. As I don't like writing graphical
|
|
front end code, the GUI largely is based on the
|
|
[NodeMCU PyFlasher](https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher)
|
|
project.
|
|
|
|
The flashing process is done using the [esptool](https://github.com/espressif/esptool)
|
|
library by espressif.
