#32544 As you may know there is a new ESP chip that has integrated low-energy STMicro STM8S003 MCU named ESP-14. The idea of having these two MCUs sounds good to me. What I still do not know is if there is a way to program the ESP MCU? Can we set from STM8 the ESP in flash mode? Can we send the new firmware to the ESP via the STM8 MCU?
I am using the ESPs not only for WIFI but also as SmarConfig device, MQTT + SSL client, CaptiveProtal with WebServer and that does not come by default with the AT firmware which is in ESP-14.

If I am able to do this, even at the cost of having to learn another SDK and buy another flasher (STM8 one), that will be great. But is this the case?
