- if there is no LINEFEED at the end, the line won't be recognised

I think you terminal emulator sends CARRIAGE RETURN or CR+LF at the end of the line. Only LF or LF+CR will work. Configure you terminal emulator and/or press ^J instead of enter. Sometimes that helps.

Thanks for creating this firmware!
I'd like to use the ESP8266 as a standalone access point to which arbitrary devices can detect and then read from / write to UART. How is this possible? By using the bootstrapping method, one can only connect to an existing WLAN which I do not plan to do.

Thanks and best regards

Ok, thanks for the quick answer anyway.

If you however wanted to provide an AP version/feature in the future, I'd be very willing to test ist!
