How to check for existence of unbinascii.unhexlify when trying to install MicroPython on ESP8266












0















Ok, so I am messing around having fun with the RPi and I am using it to flash my ESP8266 with MicroPython.



So far I have downloaded esptool and the MicroPython .bin, and have successfully erased the default flash file on the ESP8266, and successfully installed the MicroPython .bin file.



I have also successfully installed rshell as per the instructional video I am following.



However, I seem to now be in an infinite wait loop after I type the following commands to launch the rshell
Code: Select all



rshell --buffer-size=30 -p /dev/ttyUSB0


... the terminal is showing



Testing if ubinascii.unhexlify exists ... 


And is just sat there doing absolutely nothing...!! How do I check that unbinascii.unhexlify exists?



Any pointers from any experts out there please?
Many thanks,
John
