#68866 Hi everyone,
I have a general question what is required to do FOTA For the ESP8266. I have modified my makefile to reflect below to pump out a version 2 of the firmware, however I believe that my boot loader may not be the correct boot loader to support booting the esoteric firmware. Does anyone have any insight on this particular issue? do I need to use a third-party piece of software such as rboot resolve this?

I execute make ota2 to generate version 2 of the OTA firmware, However I think that it may not load correctly due to the bootloader.
Code: Select allCC = xtensa-lx106-elf-gcc
CFLAGS = -I. -DICACHE_FLASH -mlongcalls
LDLIBS = -nostdlib -Wl,--start-group -lmain -lnet80211 -lwpa -llwip -lpp -lphy -lc -Wl,--end-group -lgcc
LDFLAGS = -Teagle.app.v6.ld
INCLUDES = -Iinclude -I../driver_lib/include

I'm not 100% sure on how to interpret the meaning behind your post but I have resolved the issue. Thank you!! =)
