I've successfully flashed an ESP8266 device with FDTI232. I downloaded the firmware from http://nodemcu-build.com/.
Here is the log:

When I run 'esplorer' tool, I can't communicate with the ESP8266 device. This is the log:
PORT OPEN 9600

I've checked the pins connection : GPIO0 disconnected after flashing.
How to check and do other things (like lua programming) after the flashing operation ?
