Hi all

I want to send the Blink example to my remote WeMos D1 mini

My platformio.ini is

According to commit Fix an issue with "Could not find LD script" when uploading via PIO R… · platformio/platform-espressif8266@e69a2cb · GitHub this should have been a fixed issue.

Originally tracked in Error: Could not find LD script when uploading remotely · Issue #165 · platformio/platform-espressif8266 · GitHub and related to Error: Could not find LD script when uploading remotely · Issue #228 · platformio/platform-espressif8266 · GitHub.

Maybe @ivankravets can have a look at this?

geekpaolo · December 7, 2020, 1:58pm

Maybe my lack in my knowledge, I update ‘main.py’ with change reported on the commit above, but nothing change. Still error message.

geekpaolo · December 8, 2020, 7:26am

I modified file \.platformio\platforms\espressif8266\builder\main.py according to commit on github.
Then I remove the platform by

PS C:\Users\xxx\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\201124-205351-arduino-blink> pio platform uninstall espressif8266
Platform Manager: Removing espressif8266 @ 2.6.2
Platform Manager: espressif8266 @ 2.6.2 has been removed!
The platform 'espressif8266' has been successfully removed!

Then I run

PS C:\Users\xxx\Documents\PlatformIO\Projects\201124-205351-arduino-blink> pio platform install C:\Users\vw603\.platformio\platforms\espressif8266
Platform Manager: espressif8266 @ 2.6.2 is already installed
Tool Manager: toolchain-xtensa @ 2.40802.200502 is already installed

Tool Manager: tool-esptoolpy @ 1.20800.0 is already installed
The platform 'C:\Users\vw603\.platformio\platforms\espressif8266' has been successfully installed!
The rest of the packages will be installed later depending on your build environment.

If i run a Remote Upload, I retreive the same result:

What I failed?

maxgerhardt · December 8, 2020, 8:42am

The commit is over 1 year old and already included in the most recent version, so one shouldn’t apply it by itself. For now I see two options:

wait until the bug is being investigated by developers
try using --force-remote as a flag in pio remote run as a workaround as described in the issues

geekpaolo · December 8, 2020, 12:11pm

Ok, I’m waiting for the fix.

Two questions :

Does it is possible to set '--force-remote inside platformio.ini file?
If I want to understand better the code to solve (help?) this issue, where I have to start?

maxgerhardt · December 8, 2020, 12:50pm

Not to my knowledge and the documentation. However, you can add a little bit of code in the project so that you have that option in the “project tasks” window pane. Adapt from docs to create a pio remote run --force-remote shortcut.

I’m not sure about this myself, but the platform code is at GitHub - platformio/platform-espressif8266: Espressif 8266: development platform for PlatformIO and the main PlatformIO core is at GitHub - platformio/platformio-core: Your Gateway to Embedded Software Development Excellence 👽. The underlying build system is SCons. This is fairly complex though when being first introduced to it.
