#92410 Hi folks,

On a numebr of boards we have an ESP8266 module at version 1.6.2. After a great deal of messing about we've worked out that:

1. TCP Passive mode doesn't work
2. Sadly, the OTA update doesn't seem to work.

If, with a horrible lash up, I update to v 1.7.4 using the UART, I canm then get passive receive mode working.

Does anyone know any gotchas about 1.6.2 OTA? It goes through the four stages and then just comes back with error. I send:

"AT+CIUPDATE\r\n"

And get:

+CIPUPDATE: 1
+CIPUPDATE: 2
+CIPUPDATE: 3
+CIPUPDATE: 4

All back, but always with an error.

Does anyone know with v1.6.2 whether there is known issue with passive receive and how it can be got round?
Also, whether OTA should work with v1.6.2?

Many thanks.
