The uno-r4-wifi-fwuploader-plugin is a core component of the arduino-fwuploader. The purpose of this plugin is to abstract all the
business logic needed to update firmware and certificates for the uno r4 wifi board.
Contributions are welcome!
✨ Thanks to all our contributors! ✨
- Go version 1.20 or later
- Task to help you run the most common tasks from the command line
- The uno r4 wifi board to test the core parts.
When running only the plugin without the fwuploader, the required tools are downloaded by the fwuploader. If you run only the plugin, you must provide them by hand.
Therefore be sure to place the espflash and bossac binaries in the correct folders like the following:
.
├── bossac
│ └── 1.9.1-arduino5
│ └── bossac
├── espflash
│ └── 2.0.0
│ └── espflash
└── uno-r4-wifi-fwuploader-plugin_linux_amd64
└── bin
└── uno-r4-wifi-fwuploader-pluginCommands

On some arm64 Linux distros, version 2.0.0 of espflash might panic with the following error:
Error: × Main thread panicked.
├─▶ at espflash/src/interface.rs:70:33
╰─▶ called `Result::unwrap()` on an `Err` value: UnknownModel
help: set the `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a
backtrace.
On Linux, the uno r4 must be plugged into a hub usb to make the flash process work. Otherwise, it won’t be able to reboot in download mode.

...The whole certificate chain is needed to make it work. Using -u flags (ex: -u www.arduino.cc:443) won’t work because it
only downloads the root certificates. The solution is to use only the -f flag and provide a pem certificate containing the whole chain.
The binary is not signed #348, and some antiviruses might complain. If still doubtful, https://github.com/esp-rs/espflash is open source, and it's possible to double-check the md5 hashes of the binary and the source code. For more information, you can follow this forum thread.
