About:
Jaguar is a command-line tool designed for ESP32 development that enables live reloading of code directly on the device. It monitors your source files for changes and instantly flashes the updated firmware without requiring a full manual rebuild and reset cycle. This significantly accelerates the development and iteration loop for IoT applications built on the Toit platform.
Key Features:
  • Instant code reloading on device save
  • Automatic detection of connected ESP32s
  • Seamless integration with Toit development workflow
  • Reduces manual flashing and reboot cycles
Use Cases:
  • Rapid prototyping of ESP32 firmware
  • Iterative development of IoT sensor applications
  • Real-time testing of embedded device logic
Alternatives:
  • PlatformIO – PlatformIO is a full-featured embedded development ecosystem, whereas Jaguar is a lightweight tool specifically optimized for the Toit runtime and live coding experience.
  • esptool – esptool is a generic serial bootloader utility for Espressif chips, while Jaguar provides a higher-level, automated workflow for live code updates.
