Flash tool under Windows App

[Deouss]

I want to write a flash tool just like esptool.py but using .net because it seems easy)
So I am looking for detailed steps necessary to perform correct flashing.
If anyone could help here I'd appreciate much.
I will opensource full code

Thanks

Howdy,
Here is the spec of the flashing protocol ...

here is an attempt I did in JavaScript

and don't forget that esptool.py is going to be your friend as a reference.

I noticed when looked inside intestines of esptool.py that it initializes a lot of params and gets quite load of info from chip.
But it looks like it performs very simple basic flashing at the end. Also replaces the bootloader with hardcoded stub.
I'm not sure what compression is used

Compression is standard zlib-based compression.

Yes I see it says gzip - .net has that but still wondering around to find SLIP classes )
I actually never heard of slip. esptool has function to read it bur python is very strange language - reminds me of deformed vb or vbscript.
I am not sure if all code is for esp32 because I see esp8266 functions as well
I read it is possible to upload code and execute it - cool

SLIP is a protocol originally used to encapsulate IP packets, and is almost trivial to implement yourself. It's described in RFC1055.
