ROM loader for ESP chips, works with ESP8266, ESP32, or ESP32-C6.
This is a 'no-stub' loader, so you can't read MD5 or firmware back on ESP8266.

See this document for protocol we're implementing:
https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/Serial-Protocol

See this for the 'original' code we're miniaturizing:
https://github.com/espressif/esptool/blob/master/esptool.py

There's a very basic Arduino ROM loader here for ESP32:

Dependencies
=============
This driver depends on:

* `Adafruit CircuitPython <https://github.com/adafruit/circuitpython>`_

Please ensure all dependencies are available on the CircuitPython filesystem.
This is easily achieved by downloading
`the Adafruit library and driver bundle <https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_Bundle>`_.

Installing from PyPI
--------------------

On supported GNU/Linux systems like the Raspberry Pi, you can install the driver locally `from
PyPI <https://pypi.org/project/adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool/>`_. To install for current user:

.. code-block:: shell

    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

To install system-wide (this may be required in some cases):

.. code-block:: shell

    sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

To install in a virtual environment in your current project:

.. code-block:: shell

    mkdir project-name && cd project-name
    python3 -m venv .venv
    source .venv/bin/activate
    pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-miniesptool

Usage Example
=============

Check the examples folder for demo sketches to upload firmware to ESP8266, ESP32, and ESP32-C6.
