Espmark

Espmark is a browser-driven benchmark for ESP8266 and ESP32-family boards. It runs deterministic firmware tests, computes an Espmark score, and can publish results to the public leaderboard.

Official website:

https://espmark.msmeteo.cz

The current public firmware release is 0.2.3.

Run The Benchmark

The easiest path is the web flasher:

1. Open https://espmark.msmeteo.cz in a browser with Web Serial support.
2. Connect an ESP8266 or ESP32-family board over USB.
3. Choose the matching generic firmware build and flash it from the page.
4. Reconnect the board if the browser asks for it.
5. Run the benchmark on the website.
6. Review the result and publish it to the leaderboard if you want it public.

Arduino IDE

You can also build and upload the firmware yourself:

1. Open arduino/espmark/espmark.ino in Arduino IDE.
2. Install the required ESP8266 or ESP32 board package.
3. Select your board and serial port.
4. Compile and upload the sketch.
5. Open https://espmark.msmeteo.cz and run the benchmark through Web Serial.

For a serial-only run, open the serial monitor at 115200 baud and use the commands printed by the firmware. Benchmark results are emitted between:

ESPMARK_RESULT_BEGIN
ESPMARK_RESULT_END

What Is Measured

Espmark focuses on deterministic core workloads so results can be compared across boards and chip families:

• integer and sustained CPU work,
• fixed-point and float32 compute,
• RAM bandwidth and heap behavior,
• read-only flash throughput,
• CRC32, SHA-256, JSON, and string-formatting workloads.

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, browser speed, USB bridge behavior, and other environment dependent measurements are not part of the headline Espmark score.
