ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello Forum,

sorry for this stupit question, but I'm familar with some basic stuff like this.

After playing around with esp32 and the ESP_IDF, I'd like to start with the ESP8266.
I bought a nodeMCU board and use the ESP8266_RTOS_SDK v3 which may
similar to the esp32 SDK solution.

When I use "make monitor" the Monitor shows the loading sequence and
0x40100000: _stext at ??:?
What does this mean?
Obvisiouly it has something to do with the linker and .text, but I didn't get the clue.
Except this warning all examples seem work fine.

It means that there is no code placed into sram.
Placing code into sram may be helpful using brakpoint for debugging purposes.

see point 20.
Right?

Withing compiler/linker default settings of the SDK I run into relocation trouble like this:

Is there a simple how to dealing with this settings?
