This pull request updates the esp_loader.ts file to accommodate the new packet-based logic introduced in the esp-flasher-stub PR. The changes ensure that the existing host API behavior is maintained while adapting to the new stub requirements.

Changes made:

  • Modified the read loop in src/esp_loader.ts to:

    • Convert the configured byte window into a packet-based max_inflight value.
    • Acknowledge based on the packet-window calculation instead of raw bytes.
  • Updated the README.md in src/stubs/ to reflect the new source reference for the stubs.

Validation:

  • The TypeScript compiler check (npx tsc --pretty false --noEmit) passed successfully.

These updates ensure compatibility with the new stub format while preserving the existing functionality for legacy stubs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for XTX Technology flash memory chips, including multiple XT25F models.
    • Added ESP32-H4 support and refreshed firmware support across numerous ESP32 variants.
    • Enhanced ESP32-S3 support with NAND plugin capabilities.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved flash reading reliability, timeout handling, packet acknowledgements, and response processing.
  • Documentation

    • Updated stub image sourcing and maintenance information.
  • Chores

    • Released version 1.7.0 with updated packaged firmware assets.

@Jason2866 Yes, for stubs that are actually built from esp-flasher-stub PR #1, the host logic in this PR matches the new protocol.

PR #1 defines max_inflight as a count of unacknowledged data packets in both the standard flash read handler and the NAND read handler. This PR converts the existing byte-based maxInFlight API value to that packet count with:

Math.ceil(maxInFlightBytes / blockSize)

It also sends ACKs after the equivalent packet window. Therefore, the host and the PR #1 stub protocol agree.

This does not apply to older stub payloads. Older stubs treat the field differently and use a one-packet flow-control window.

I could not complete an artifact-by-artifact check of every target payload because the sandbox GitHub request failed. The source-level protocol check is positive, but the generated payload set should use a revision that includes PR #1.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull request updates flash-read packet handling, refreshes ESP32 and ESP8266 flasher-stub images, adds ESP32-H4 support, adds XTX flash identifiers, regenerates firmware modules, and updates package and service-worker release metadata.

Changes

Flash read and firmware images

Layer / File(s) Summary
Flash read packet handling
src/esp_loader.ts
readFlash sends packet-count parameters, acknowledges every packet, sends a one-byte timeout abort frame, and consumes each chunk’s 16-byte MD5 response.
Flasher-stub payload refresh
src/stubs/*.json, src/stubs/README.md
ESP32-family and ESP8266 stub metadata and encoded payloads were replaced. An ESP32-H4 stub was added. ESP32-S3 NAND plugin metadata and updated source references were added.
Generated firmware modules
js/modules/esp32*.js, js/modules/esp8266*.js
Firmware modules were replaced with static payload metadata and named/default exports. Obsolete generated modules were removed.
XTX flash device support
src/flash_jedec.ts
The JEDEC maps now include XTX Technology and four XT25F device identifiers.
Release metadata and install configuration
package.json, package.cli.json, sw.js
The package and cache versions were updated to 1.7.0. The package configuration pins node-addon-api and allows selected install scripts.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~30 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2d421

The PR adds new stub support, but ESP32-H4 flashing remains unavailable because the new payload is not registered, and several XTX flash parts may not be detected due to incorrect JEDEC identifiers. Merge should wait for these correctness fixes; the formatting and source-reference issues can be handled as follow-up cleanup.

A rabbit checks each packet in line
ACKs hop neatly, one at a time
Stub images sparkle, fresh and bright
XTX chips join the flash-lit night
New modules burrow into place
Version seven wears a carrot face

Line 5 links to a moving branch and an unspecified upstream project. Record the exact esp-flasher-stub PR or commit and the generation command. This prevents future regeneration from switching to a stub with a different flow-control contract.

Register ESP32-H4 in the runtime loaders.

src/stubs/esp32h4.json adds the payload, but src/stubs/index.ts and js/modules/esptool.js still return null for CHIP_FAMILY_ESP32H4 before stub selection. The new payload is therefore unreachable, and ESP32-H4 flashing remains unsupported. Add the H4 import and selection, then regenerate the bundled loader.
