- Sun Sep 27, 2015 4:16 am #29967 Hi,
I'm trying to work out how I can flash my chip with the new sdk. I have an ESP8266-12, which is running an old version
Ive followed the various videos and descriptions Ive been able to find, but the binary files seem to be different to those described.
Ive downloaded the ESP flash download tool, but cant figure out where to get the files for the download config paths and what address ranges to add.
Any assistance greatly received.
thanks
jon

An SDK is a software developers kit ... which means that new or existing applications compile and link with this code which then results in new flash images which are then uploaded.

When you say that you have downloaded the SDK and wish to reflash ... what application are you expecting to flash into the ESP8266? The default is the AT command processor accessible through serial. Is that what you are shooting for?
