For memory organization check Basic Requirements as well as the two links inside this chapter that provide graphical representation of memory layout.

Maybe memory in your module is defective in last 1M region?
Do you see any clues on serial monitor when your sketch fails?

I have the same problem: I flashed the OTA example script and it seems to work, the esp8266 connects to my wireless. The WhoIsConnectedSniffer didn't work for me for some reason, but I downloaded "Bonjour Browser" instead. It shows the esp8266 with the IP and some data ("board: generic" etc). So I guess Windows must get the IP, but there is still no OTA entry in the ports menu in the Arduino IDE.
How does the IDE actually get the IP? Is there a way to set it manually instead?

Sketch with OTA is advertising its IP / hostname using mDNS service.
Recent platform package 2.1.0 features couple of fixes to mDNS including this one.
Please try 2.1.0, If you are not using it already.
Let me know either way so we can nail down this issue.

thanks for your help. I do have the current version 2.1.0. The "Bonjour browser" thing displays mDNS entries on my Windows box. I also have a Raspi on the network, using avahi -a on that also shows the esp8266, so I guess that part is working.

So there is not way to tell the Arduino IDE the IP manually?
