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:

An example configuration file may look as follows (note that TOML does not support hexadecimal literals):

[connection]
serial = "/dev/ttyUSB0"

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

Use as a Cargo Runner

You can also use espflash as a Cargo runner by adding the followin to your project's .cargo/config file:

[target.'cfg(all(target_arch = "xtensa", target_os = "none"))']
runner = "espflash --ram /dev/ttyUSB0"

This then allows you to run your project using cargo run.
