Hi, All

For ESP8266 it is simple: B4R compiles by Arduino the single binary file src.ino.bin of the firmware to be flashed into the IC.
For ESP32 i see the generated the binary ones:
  • src.ino.bootloader.bin
  • src.ino.bin
  • src.ino.partitions.bin
  • src.ino.elf (biiig one)
and text partitions.csv:


But what is the file for OTA manual update ?
How to distribute the firmware for a remote update by 3rd party user ?

If to use a B4J UART flasher - what file\how to flash ?

UPD: found about esptool, but B4R generated only 3 .bin files instead of the needed 4 - how to be ?

Why no bootloader_qio_80m.bin file ?
UPD: ok, it's clear that it depends on the board memory configuration...
@Erel , is it possible that B4R IDE to be copying this 4th .bin file into the output folder together with all other your compile ?
There is the task to merge all .bin files into a single one, for batch flashing.
