Installation of Firmware - Board Recovery

Note: this is an advanced option

With at standard DataLogger IoT - 9DOF board, you can factory reset the board to revert back to this firmware version. However, if a different version of firmware is flashed the below, esptool.py based solution is used to recover the DataLogger IoT board functionality.

The documentation of esptool.py is located here

Once the board is restored, the built in update capability is used to update to the latest firmware release.

Attached firmware binaries are uploaded using the following command/esptool settings (adjust port/baud for your device):

esptool.py --chip esp32 --port [YOUR PORT] --baud 460800 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash  \
                 -z --flash_mode dio --flash_freq 80m --flash_size 16MB \
