## Download Micropython firmware

Go to:

1. "Getting started with MicroPython on the ESP8266"

http://docs.micropython.org/en/latest/esp8266/esp8266/tutorial/intro.html

2. "Firmware for ESP8266/ESP32 boards"

http://micropython.org/download

## Install `esptool.py` - ESP8266 & ESP32 ROM Bootloader Utility

```

$ sudo apt-get install python-pip

$ sudo pip install esptool

```

OR

```

$ sudo apt-get install python-serial

$ sudo apt-get install python-ecdsa ecdsautils

$ sudo apt-get install python-slowaes

$ git clone https://github.com/espressif/esptool.git

$ cd esptool

$ sudo python setup.py install

```

## Flash firmware on ESP8266/ESP32 board

ESP8266:

```

$ esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

$ esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 write_flash --flash_size=detect 0 firmware.bin

```

ESP32:

```

$ esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 erase_flash

$ esptool.py --chip esp32 --port /dev/ttyUSB0 write_flash -z 0x1000 firmware.bin

```

## Build `mpy-cross`

```

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential libreadline-dev libffi-dev git

$ git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git

$ cd ./micropython/ports/unix

$ make axtls

$ make

$ sudo cp ./micropython /usr/local/bin

$ cd ../../mpy-cross

$ make

$ sudo cp ./mpy-cross /usr/local/bin
