Take a look in ./build/, you should see something like

-rw-rw-r--. 1 agreen agreen  901849 May 10 02:13 lws-esp32-factory.bin

When you flash it, are you flashing 901849 (or whatever it is thereabouts) bytes?

How old's your make version?

from lws-esp32-factory.

Yes, I have, amongst others these (after a 'make clean' and 'make all').

My make version is 4.1, but note that I got everything a few minutes before it stopped responding. Did not notice any errors during make, and was able to connect to the AP and see page where I could upload the SSL files. I did some simple stability tests by sitting on F5, and everything worked perfectly. Then I, mistankenly, uploaded from SSL files, and shortly after that I ended up where I am now, where /factory.html no longer responds.

I have also tried now to delete the entire build directory, and have done a new 'make all', but still not able to access. When I connect or disconnect my computer to the AP I see that the ESP responds to those events:

I (2737) wifi: n:6 0, o:6 0, ap:6 1, sta:0 0, prof:6

This is a quite specific problem.... I dunno what the cause is yet but the reason is not ambiguous

-rw-r--r-- 1 frode frode 716K May 10 07:29 lws-esp32-factory.bin

the app should be around 900KB. The build itself is like this, ~700KB but then the build process concatenates on top the ROMFS, and a manifest, bringing it to 900KB. So if you are only flashing ~700KB, there has been no romfs added, and it has nothing to serve, so there is no mystery about the symptom end of it.

Are you literally building with make all flash monitor or something else?

Edit: uploading the SSL bits is unrelated to the missing ROMFS bit, but note after you upload the certs, you must go to https://192.168.4.1 since it's no longer listening on port 80. make flash_erase will get rid of the certs too... it's nothing to do with the actual problem about romfs concatenation process not happening.

My make is 4.2.1 FWIW.

from lws-esp32-factory.

Yes, I'm literally doing

make all flash monitor -j5

and have also done

make clean

and

make erase_flash

Any tips as to where I could check to see why the .bin isn't as big as it should? Is there a step somewhere that I can run manually to see what happens when appending the romfs part?

from lws-esp32-factory.

How about lose the -j5?

from lws-esp32-factory.

The concatenation bit is done by 'pack.img' target

from lws-esp32-factory.

Ah! Dropping -j5 fixed it. Now it creates a .bin file of 881K, and I'm able to open /factory.html.

My guess is that -j5 causes the parts to be built in wrong order.

from lws-esp32-factory.

The latest -factory should work fine with -j n... make all flash monitor or make flash monitor should both be fine now too.
