- Tue Jul 07, 2015 5:21 pm #22736 Hi all,
I have played around with ESP8266 with arduino IDE and everything works amazingly well.
However I need to be able to flash ESP8266 over cloud somehow. (I know there are AT+CIUPDATE commands but not sure how to make them work with Arduino solution)

I want to do the following basically.

1. Use arduino IDE to compile code.
2. Upload compiled code (binaries) to a server.
3. Make ESP8266 update to the new compiled code over cloud from the server.

Is it possible? has anyone done something similar?
Any hints at all will be appreciated.

Will try it, although there is no example for this. Might brick ESP I guess
