🚨 Partition Layout Change

Coming from firmware version 2024.06.03 or older *1), you cannot upgrade to this release (or any future release) by performing an over-the-air (OTA) update using the web interface! Read and follow the upgrade instructions, where additional information is available as well.

If you upgraded to version 2024.08.18 or newer already *2), you should be good to perform an OTA update using the web interface (unless you are using the generic_esp32_4mb_no_ota firmware variant).

*1) Technically: If you are still using the "old" partition layout where the sketch size is only 1,920 kB. See Info -> System in the web UI to know your current sketch size.
*2) Only when upgraded using the respective .factory.bin image over a wired connection to the ESP32, such that the partition layout was actually updated alongside the firmware.

2024.05.03

⚠️ Only for ESP32-S3 ⚠️

Unfortunately, due to an unknown problem, the binaries for the generic_esp32 and generic enviroments are unusable and have been removed from this release. See #950. The next release will address this issue such that those variants are available again.

Do not attempt to build the firmware yourself for those environments. The resulting firmware blob will be too large and will fail to start or OTA-update.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
