ESP8266 Community Forum

- Tue Jan 26, 2016 9:40 pm #39796 Hi,

Here is my objective: I would like to design a minimal circuit that has both the 8266 (esp12-e) and a mega328p (as the 8266 simply doesn't have enough pins for the peripherals I need).
To reduce things to the minimal form, I would like to get rid of USB-Serial (FTDI) and use OptiBoot (https://github.com/Optiboot/optiboot) on the Meta328P.
Now, my question is this. How can I flash the 8266 with such configuration?

Thanks,

Shay

you can flash the 8266 via OTA.....
you can flash the atmega via the 8266 (via optiboot) or (spi)
