make htmlflash no rule to make target

[kylix34]

Hello,

I cloned the project and I'm trying to use it on a NodeMCU board, 4MB (nonos 2.1.0 SDK version).

make flash works ok, instead, make htmlflash gives me: "No rule to make target 'htmlflash'".
In makefile I have OUTPUT_TYPE=ota
I thought that make flash was enough but, without htmlflash it doesn't load the static html files I added.
How could I solve this problem? Doesn't it work even with the OTA parameter (it works with OUTPUT_TYPE=separate)?

Thanks!

make htmlflash works only for OUTPUT_TYPE=separate.
If you have OUTPUT_TYPE=ota use make clean all flash.
After that you can do make clean all httpflash.

make httpflash gave me: curl: (3) url malformed
I did export ESPIP=192.168.4.1, connected to ESP WiFi network after make flash, and now I get:

Header: 40 bytes, user1: 389460 bytes, user2: 389460 bytes.

404 File not found.
Done

...and the static HTML files are not loaded.

In case I want to write the flash through OTA, which is the .bin file I need to use and what option should I use when compiling?

[isavitsky]

Check if ESP_SPI_FLASH_SIZE_K= variable and other parameters are set to the correct values.
I have to say that httpflash works for me only if I do make clean all after I change html files.

ESP_SPI_FLASH_SIZE_K=4096 (NodeMCU 4MB). I also followed your advice and issued make clean all httpflash.....
With OUTPUT_TYPE=separate, it works but ... after that, will it be possible to update the firmware via OTA?
I'm stuck with this problem.

It was my fault: I'm using a custom version and I forgot to copy the /flash folder.
This time "make clean all httpflash" did not give any error but, the static files are not loaded:
** user1.bin uses 393780 bytes of available

When I try to access 192.168.4.1, I get: "404 file not found" error.

Wish I knew what I'm doing wrong...

Is make httpflash needed for flashing the static files or make flash should be enough?

[isavitsky]

I think make flash should be enough.

Also I replaced this section in user_man.c:

#ifdef OTA_FLASH_SIZE_K
CgiUploadFlashDef uploadParams={
        .type=CGIFLASH_TYPE_FW,
        .fw1Pos=0x1000,
#if OTA_FLASH_SIZE_K < 2049
        .fw2Pos=((OTA_FLASH_SIZE_K*1024)/2)+0x1000,
        .fwSize=((OTA_FLASH_SIZE_K*1024)/2)-0x1000,
#else
        .fw2Pos=0x101000,
        .fwSize=0xFF000,
#endif
        .tagName=OTA_TAGNAME
};

And changed BLANKPOS and INITDATAPOS in Makefile.ota to:

BLANK_MAP:=512:0x7E000 1024:0xFE000 2048: 0x1FE000 4096:0x3FE000
INITDATA_MAP:=512:0x7C000 1024:0xFC000 2048:0x1FC000 4096:0x3FC000

BLANKPOS=$(call maplookup,$(ESP_SPI_FLASH_SIZE_K),$(BLANK_MAP))
INITDATAPOS=$(call maplookup,$(ESP_SPI_FLASH_SIZE_K),$(INITDATA_MAP))

to be in sync with current Espressif documentation:
https://espressif.com/en/support/explore/get-started/esp8266/getting-started-guide

After that I just do:

$ esptool.py --port /dev/ESP8266_USB erase_flash
$ make clean all blankflash flash

Thanks! I'll try these changes and I'll let you know. Do you have an email address where to write?

[kylix34]

I've just tried the suggested changes but the static files are still not loaded (though, with the "separate" option, it all works). The link to the project archive is this: https://files.fm/u/kfub6kxv

[kylix34]

The "combined" option also works. The only missing part is the "OTA".... :(
