FirmwareFlasher

FirmwareFlasher is a demo project designed to showcase the usage of a custom fork of the pyserial library. This project is built using Android Studio and demonstrates how to integrate Python code within an Android application using Chaquopy.

Features

• Flash firmware to devices via serial communication.
• Demonstrates the integration of Python with Android using Chaquopy.
• Utilizes a custom fork of the pyserial library for serial communication.

External Packages

This project makes use of the following external packages:

• Chaquopy: A plugin for Android Studio that allows you to run Python code in your Android apps.
• pyserial fork: A custom fork of the pyserial library tailored for this demo project.
• esptool.py: A Python-based, open-source tool for flashing firmware onto ESP8266 and ESP32 chips.

2. Open the project in Android Studio.
3. Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed.
4. Build and run the project on your Android device.

ESP32 Firmware Upload

This software uses esptool.py to upload firmware onto ESP32. The app is programmed for an ESP32-S3. You can change the chip in upload_firmware.py and the firmware file in the app/src/main/python folder.
