Flashing

[Greginkansas]

Can I use the willow-dist-ESP32_S3_BOX.bin to flash willow now?

Hi! When you've followed the instructions here https://github.com/toverainc/willow/#getting-started
and got to the "./utils.sh build" stage from within docker, you can then quit the container and do "./utils.sh flash".

There are other ways, including taking the .bin and doing it yourself, but these are quite error prone and complex.

With the upcoming 1.0 release there will be an easier way, but for the time being you need to follow the instructions linked above.

HTH!

Mid July is the only data I've seen

We're still targeting this date but we've identified a top-priority show stopping issue where the device fails to wake after several hundred sessions after boot. Ah the challenges of a microcontroller in C...

I typically do anything possible to make deliverables but we're absolutely not going to sacrifice stability - especially for a stable release!

Makes sense

[Takore2002]

Is it going to be a joint 1.0 release for Willow and WIS?

[kristiankielhofner]

We'll be using semantic versioning and it's an early stable release so it will likely be a joint 0.x
