I am trying to install ESPHome from https://esphome.github.io/media-players/
Device is connected but when I try to install I get error: Failed to initialize. Try resetting your device or holding the BOOT button while clicking INSTALL.
I do not see any obvious way to open the speaker so I guess I will not be pressing boot button.
2. Media player from ESPHome via ESPHome-Flasher
Next I think - let’s just install through ESPHome-Flasher. Now I just cannot find any way to download firmware from ESPHome media player. Is it just me? Is it not possible?
Next I tried to install squeezelite via ESPHome-Flasher - no success:
ESPHome-Flasher-1.4.0-Ubuntu-x64.exec ~/atsiuntimai/squeezelite-esp32-master-v4.3-Muse-16-21254.bin
Auto-detected serial port: /dev/ttyUSB0
Connecting......................................
ESP Chip Auto-Detection failed: Failed to connect to Espressif device: No serial data received.
6. Squeezelite via esptool
esptool -p /dev/ttyUSB2 write_flash 0x0 ~/atsiuntimai/squeezelite-esp32-master-v4.3-Muse-16-21254.bi
Serial port /dev/ttyUSB2
Connecting......................................
A fatal error occurred: Failed to connect to Espressif device: No serial data received.
7. Debugging my PC
I also tried to flash both media player from ESPHome via browser and squeezelite via ESPHome-Flasher to Lolin D32 - everything works fine. So maybe not my PC/OS problem?
Hi
There is a secret button IO0 in case the auto-bootloader fails.
Device turned off, use a paper clip thru the jack hole until you feel a click, maintain it pressed and turn it on. You should be in bootlader mode and ready to download.
Other possibility is that your are using a cable without data, try another cable.
Where exactly is that “Secret button”? I can’t find it…
I have tried with the hole next to the m-USB port, the mic hole and the LED hole with no success. No button… and sadly I broke the mic or LED while searching for it…
Were you able to get the raspiaudio esphome firmware installed or just squeeze? I have the same error when trying to install the raspiaudio esp home firmware from the webloader, but squeeze loads just fine. I really want the muse firmware. Ive tried the secret button but no luck
Strange, if you are able to start loading using the the Squeezelite web interfac e it should work too with ESPHome too as they are using the exact same code
Be sure to have only 1of the 2 Chrome window open at the same time or the port com will be busy for the other one.
Hi,
I’m also unable to flash. (ESPhome, on muse proto).
I can just hold the IO0 button (since its a proto). But is there a way to tell its managed to get into bootloader mode? How long do i have to hold it? Which buttons should be flashing/lighting up?
Device is recognized in windows (isntalled the chipset driver)
Therefore cable is alsow orking (and verified with anotehr device)
If i press the IO0 button during the (failing) webinstall of ESPhome media player. A short beep is played and then the big LED that was white before turns yellowish.
flashed a regular ESP32 via the normal path (and that worked).
