Compilation of the Firmware for Flipper Phoenix
Compiling the firmware for the Flipper Phoenix board is a crucial step to ensure its optimal functionality. This section provides a comprehensive guide on how to compile the firmware, ensuring developers can seamlessly build and deploy it onto the Flipper Phoenix.
Key Steps for Compilation
-
Installation: Begin by installing the board as per the provided instructions, you need to install the board following this instructions (opens in a new tab).
-
Opening in Arduino IDE: Open the
Flipper-Phoenix/esp32cam_marauder/esp32cam_marauder.ino
in the Arduino IDE and proceed to compile it. Since this is a fork of marauder, you might encounter an error aboutmultiple definitions of ieee80211_raw_frame_sanity_check
. The solution for this error is provided within the page, check the solution here (opens in a new tab). -
Required Libraries: Ensure you have all the necessary libraries (opens in a new tab) listed under
esp32cam_marauder/libraries
. -
Board Settings: Some boards might require the Flash Mode to be set to DIO. If your ESP32 enters a boot loop, consider changing the Flash Mode and trying again.
-
Uploading the Firmware: The ESP32CAM needs to be manually set to upload mode. Detailed steps on how to do this can be found in the First steps section under firmware update.
-
Connection Settings: For the Flipper Zero, navigate to GPIO and select USB-UART Bridge. The default settings should suffice. This action will automatically enable 5V on GPIO. If using a Serial-USB adaptor, connect RX, TX, GND, and PWR.
Required libraries
You need the libraries listed on esp32cam_marauder/libraries (opens in a new tab)
Board settings
For some boards, the Flash Mode should be DIO. If your ESP32 enters a bootloop, change Flash Mode and try again.
Upload
The ESP32CAM needs to be manually put on upload mode. Check Firmware-update.
Flipper Zero
Go to GPIO and select USB-UART Bridge. The default settings are ok. This enables 5V on GPIO automatically, so no need to do anything else.
Serial-USB adaptor
Connect RX, TX, GND and PWR (5V to VCC OR 3V3 to 3V depending on your adaptor)
This guide ensures that developers can effectively compile and deploy the firmware for the Flipper Phoenix, ensuring its smooth operation and enhanced capabilities.
