Flashing

CLI Flashing on Linux

You need to install the Espressif toolchain for Linux to use TinyGo with the ESP32:

Now you should be able to flash your board as follows:

  • Plug your ESP32 board into your computer’s USB port.

  • Build and flash your TinyGo code using the tinygo flash command. This command flashes the ESP32 with the blinky1 example:

    tinygo flash -target=esp32-coreboard-v2 -port=/dev/ttyUSB0 examples/blinky1

  • The ESP32 board should restart and then begin running your program.
