Hi, I added small fix to esptool.py that fixes failed to leave flash mode, not sure how it works though. Also merged auto resetting module before flashing from other repository but I can't find it now :/

I would like to add more improvements to esptool. Does anyone know if its possible to change baud rate of serial during firmware uploading? 115200 is fine but i want to make it faster.

Yes, you can change the baud rate defined in esptool.py. Bootloader will do autodetection. I'm flashing at 500k with fairly short cables.

Thanks terminator. That's working brilliantly... manual resetting and failure to leave flash mode was getting to be a real PITA. Cheers.
