# cargo-espflash

Cross-compiler and serial flasher cargo subcommand for Espressif SoCs and modules.

Currently supports the **ESP32**, **ESP32-C3**, **ESP32-S2**, **ESP32-S3**, and **ESP8266**.

Prior to flashing, the project is built using the `build-std` unstable Cargo feature. Please refer to the [cargo documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/unstable.html#build-std) for more information.

$ cargo install cargo-espflash

```

## Configuration

You can also specify the serial port and/or expected VID/PID values by setting them in the configuration file. This file is in different locations depending on your operating system:

| Operating System | Configuration Path                                                       |
| :--------------- | :----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Linux:**       | `/home/alice/.config/espflash/espflash.toml`                             |
| **Windows:**     | `C:\Users\Alice\AppData\Roaming\esp\espflash\espflash.toml`              |
| **macOS:**       | `/Users/Alice/Library/Application Support/rs.esp.espflash/espflash.toml` |

An example configuration file may look as follows (note that TOML does _not_ support hexadecimal literals):

```toml
[connection]
serial = "/dev/ttyUSB0"

[usb_device]
vid = 12346 # 0x303A
pid = 32768 # 0x8000
```

## Package Metadata

You can specify the bootloader, partition table, or image format for a project in the package metadata in `Cargo.toml`:

```toml
[package.metadata.espflash]
partition_table = "partitions.csv"
bootloader = "bootloader.bin"
format = "direct-boot"
```
