[nodemcu v1.0] Getting onInit() to run on power-up

[espruino-discuss]

Posted at 2016-01-03 by jhfoo

Hi all, I'm running a v1.0 of Nodemcu loaded with espruino_1v84.tve_master_d8dec28_esp8266 of the firmware.

First off: I must say that JS on the ESP8266 is SO much more stable than the stock LUA! The library support in comparison is amazing too.

Now to the problem: I've got my codes working. save() wrote my code and soft-booted. Everything is perfect. But when I do a hard reset (via esp8266.restart()) nothing starts up. I suspect this has something to do with it (screen upon startup):

Can someone advise how I should correct my firmware install?

The warning on the last line is the red herring. My nodemcu uses the ESP-12 model and I should be loading the firmware with this string:
esptool.py --port COM3 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_freq 80m --flash_mode qio --flash_size 32m 0x0000 "boot_v1.4(b1).bin" 0x1000 espruino_esp8266_user1.bin 0x37E000 blank.bin

Thanks SpenceKonde for your confirmation on IRC
