ESP8266 Community Forum

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.

Actually found this undocumented library.
esp8266/hardware/esp8266com/esp8266/libraries/ESP8266httpUpdate/src

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

Interesting topic! I'll be here to keep updated. I want to know if it's possible too.

Regards

In these posts, what do we mean by "the cloud"? Do we simply mean data that is hosted on a server that is TCP/IP addressable? And, if so, what makes this a "cloud" as opposed a "server that is TCP/IP addressable"?
