Arduino plugin which packs sketch data folder into LittleFS filesystem image,
and uploads the image to ESP8266 flash memory.
- Make sure you use one of the supported versions of Arduino IDE and have ESP8266 core installed.
- Download the tool archive from (/~https://github.com/earlephilhower/arduino-esp8266littlefs-plugin/releases).
- In your Arduino sketchbook directory, create tools directory if it doesn't exist yet.
- Unpack the tool into tools directory (the path will look like
<home_dir>/Arduino/tools/ESP8266LittleFS/tool/esp8266littlefs.jar). - Restart Arduino IDE.
On the OS X create the tools directory in ~/Documents/Arduino/ and unpack the files there
- Open a sketch (or create a new one and save it).
- Go to sketch directory (choose Sketch > Show Sketch Folder).
- Create a directory named
dataand any files you want in the file system there. - Make sure you have selected a board, port, and closed Serial Monitor.
- Select Tools > ESP8266 LittleFS Data Upload menu item. This should start uploading the files into ESP8266 flash file system. When done, IDE status bar will display LittleFS Image Uploaded message. Might take a few minutes for large file system sizes.
