ESP8266 firmware flash error
Posted: Thu Feb 18, 2016 2:27 pmI can't seem to get the firmware to flash onto my ESP8266. In the flasher I have my firmware chosen, I have GPIO0 to ground and I hit flash and the wheel turns, the blue LED blinks, but the progress bar never starts moving or anything. I checked the Log and it seems to be stuck on "NOTE:Begin find ESP8266."
I'm fairly confident that the hardware wiring is correct. I have been successful in communicating AT commands and getting strong responses. (However, AT+RST responds with the normal block of info then at the end where it should say ready, it says invalid. I guess that could have something to do with it...) I have also been able to get the IP address through AT+GMR. I have successfully PINGed the ESP8266 using that IP address.
As I noted earlier, the Restart results with "Invalid" which is why I wanted to update the firmware. The current firmware on the board is 0.21.00.0
Does anyone know what I need to do to get the flasher to find the ESP8266 and get the firmware flashed?
