Easy way for client to update code?
Posted: Thu Jan 16, 2020 4:39 pm
Hi
I'm doing ESP32 development using ESP32-IDF and Eclipse.
Now that I've got it working, I really like this development model.
I'm developing a new product for a client who going to be testing the product on their equipment before I go into full production.
I'm obviously going to be making changes to the code as testing proceeds, and I'm looking for a way to be able to send them an update they they can easily install into their prototype units.
I know that over the air updates are possible, but I'm not up to speed on that yet.
I will admit to not really knowing what IDF and eclipse are doing to flash the ESP32, when I click download... and I know there is no way I can get them to setup a full dev environment.
I'm looking for a simple tool that they can load onto a PC and just use to download the image I send them into their unit via USB.
It could be a download tool, or it could be something like the Arduino IDE, but I really just want to ship them a binary file.
Any suggestions for a no-configuration download tool?
