PlatformIO and Tasmota



  • Hello,

    Tried to burn Tasmota to my Core2 (AWS?) with both Tasmotizer and ESP flash. The furthest I got was it says that it was successful, but the device fails to boot (just sits there with a black screen). I did use the correct tasmota-core2.bin image.

    I then tried to use PlatformIO by selecting M5Stack-Core2 for the board and Arduino as the platform. It too uploads, but the device still doesn't boot.

    I also followed the steps laid out in this post: https://community.m5stack.com/topic/2697/building-core2-factorydemo-in-platformio

    But still no luck - it fails to compile with the error "collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status *** [.pio\build\m5stack-core2\firmware.elf] Error 1."

    I can use the M5Burner application though, and it does burn new images to the device.

    Can anyone point me in the right direction to get PlatformIO and/or Tasmota working on this device?



  • Hello @Slyke

    Tasmonizer did not work for me either. VSC/PlatformIO only worked with version 9.5.0. (Version 9.6.0 or master don't compile for me.)
    Here are the steps:

    • Clone Tasmota: git clone https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota.git
    • Checkout 9.5.0: git checkout pre-release-9.5.0
    • Rename sample file: mv platformio_override_sample.ini platformio_override.ini
    • Open project in VSC/PlatformIO
    • Modify platformio_override.ini: comment out: tasmota / uncomment: tasmota32-core2
    • Compile & Link & Download from within VSC/PlatformIO

    Note: there is nothing on the LCD screen at this point. I think the device is waiting to be configured.
