## 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
```

Note (*): DIO2(DATA) is optional and may used in continuous FSK/OOK mode
Note (**): DIO1(DCLK) unused
## 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
```
## Install `ampy` - Utility to interact with a MicroPython board over a serial connection
```
$ sudo pip install adafruit-ampy
```
OR
```
$ sudo apt-get install python-click
$ git clone https://github.com/adafruit/ampy.git
$ cd ampy
$ sudo python setup.py install
```
## Read and edit "main.py" and "sx127x.py", compile "sx127x.py"
```
$ vim sx127x.py
$ vim main.py
$ mpy-cross -O3 sx127x.py
```
## Load python examples to ESP module
```
$ ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put sx127x.mpy
$ ampy --port /dev/ttyUSB0 put main.py
```
## Run terminal (minicom, picocom or screen)
```
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
$ picocom /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 115200
$ screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200
```
