Bundling cc-tool into zigbee2mqtt add-on

There’s a Linux tool that works with the CC debugger that can help you flash the firmware onto a cc2531 to prepare it for use.

Even though it’s a one time thing, reducing user friction on setup could be useful.

Has anyone tried doing the flashing using cc-tool from a container before?

I looked into cc-tool a bit, I may end up with a patch series for it that gets rid of the boost dependency and makes it easier and quicker to build. (it should ship with ./configure script pregenerated IMHO)

@h4nc what do you use to flash the adapters, cc-debugger with Windows, cc-debugger/cc-tool with Linux or a custom raspberry pi setup?

CC-Debugger with Windows

Just when I thought I found myself a tester :slight_smile:

I guess I’ll have to wait for my hardware to arrive before I get spread this testing misery^W^Wearly access opportunity.

I’ll report here once I’m happy enough with my rewrite/patch to be able to responsibly send out pull request.

This is an interesting idea. I would say this would make a good add-on just for flashing the available CC2531 firmwares :slight_smile:
