# Partitions Tool Example
|
|
|
|
This example demonstrates common operations the partitions tool [parttool.py](../../../components/partition_table/parttool.py) allows the user to perform:
|
|
|
|
- reading, writing and erasing partitions,
|
|
- retrieving info on a certain partition,
|
|
- dumping the entire partition table
|
|
|
|
Users taking a look at this example should focus on the contents of the Python script [parttool_example.py](parttool_example.py) or shell script [parttool_example.sh](parttool_example.sh). The scripts contain
|
|
programmatic invocation of the tool's functions via the Python API and command-line interface, respectively. Note
|
|
that on Windows, the shell script example requires a POSIX-compatible environment via MSYS2/Git Bash/WSL etc.
|
|
|
|
The example performs the operations mentioned above in a straightforward manner: it performs writes to partitions and then verifies correct content
|
|
by reading it back. For partitions, contents are compared to the originally written file. For the partition table, contents are verified against the partition table CSV
|
|
file. An erased partition's contents is compared to a generated blank file.
|
|
|
|
## How to use example
|
|
|
|
### Build and Flash
|
|
|
|
Before running either of the example scripts, it is necessary to build and flash the firmware using the usual means:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
idf.py build flash
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running [parttool_example.py](parttool_example.py)
|
|
|
|
The example can be executed by running the script [parttool_example.py](parttool_example.py) or [parttool_example.sh](parttool_example.sh).
|
|
|
|
Python script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python parttool_example.py
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Shell script:
|
|
```
|
|
./parttool_example.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The script searches for valid target devices connected to the host and performs the operations on the first one it finds. To perform the operations on a specific device, specify the port it is attached to during script invocation:
|
|
|
|
Python script:
|
|
```bash
|
|
python parttool_example.py --port /dev/ttyUSB2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Shell script:
|
|
```
|
|
./parttool_example.sh /dev/ttyUSB2
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example output
|
|
|
|
Running the script produces the following output:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
Checking if device app binary matches built binary
|
|
Found data partition at offset 0x110000 with size 0x10000
|
|
Writing to data partition
|
|
Reading data partition
|
|
Erasing data partition
|
|

|
|
|
|
