asyncio module seems missing in self built firmware for ESP8266 board about micropython HOT 6 CLOSED

To whom it may concern:
I experimented with building ESP32_GENERIC firmware, where i had include("$(PORT_DIR)/boards/manifest.py") in my manifest, so i guessed it may work the same with esp8266.

However, with the esp8266 i had to add include("$(PORT_DIR)/boards/ESP8266_GENERIC/manifest_2MiB.py").

@peterhinch thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

To clarify, asyncio is only missing on reduced flash variants of ESP8266. Versions with 2MB and above should include it - see the manifest.

@peterhinch Saw that, but im actually using the 4MB variant..

The approach I'd use is first to check whether pre-built firmware for your size of board has asyncio. If not there is a definite issue.

Assuming the pre-built firmware still has it, then the problem may be in your manifest files.

@peterhinch works with pre-built firmware, so i'm closing this now in eternal shame! 😅
