Hi experts here,
I know, that we have got better IDE environment than Arduino.
I love it and I love its simplicity.
I also know, that the Arduino IDE can only compile for an ESP8266 on an Intel processor.
I would like to do the following: Compiling the sketch on a notebook platform, then copy the compiled result to the remote ARM target (using VNC) and upload the file there using AVR-Dude.
I would of course also have an ESP8266 on the notebook for a local debugging.
I suppose the file to upolad is the xxxx.ino.nodemcu.bin, right?
So I will transfer it to the remote operating system using VNC.
But then I would need some kind of guidance: how could I upload that file on the remote ESP system?
Ideally I would love to be able to do that from the remote Arduino IDE, but I do not find any menu option to do that.
I suppose, I will have to fiddle with AVR-dude on the command line.
but my actual AVR-dude is already tweaked by
Autoreset to generate the reset signals before the upload process.
I am sorry to bother, if that already has been described elsewhere, I just couldn't find it.
Could you give me a hint where to find it?
