- Sat Jan 09, 2016 5:35 pm #38355 My ESP8266 Flash downloader will only flash 1 file , usually 1 large bin, I have had problems with this flasher...
I would recommend ESP FLASH DOWNLOAD TOOL V2.4...
You can download a single file or multiple files , select check box and set address , browse for file's
Personally I don't think much of the AT+ type Firmware, but each to their own ...
I found the later nodeMCU sdk 140 and 150 to work ok for me, thus far, there are a lot of example pgm's available ,, It will take time to code well acting programs...
I've just started using Arduino , It hasn't been too bad, if you've done any basic + c coding.....
There is also Basic Firmware available, and good help avail MMISCOOL
Both Basic and NodeMCU are interperters...

As for the AT+ firmware it appears to me that you have to run a script through the serial port
to do anything usefull...meaning another device to send the serial, just to run you code, unless
theer is a way to emulate serial port, run code out of flash...

the flasher i am using does not have a baud rate option..
i am using a "ESP8266 FLASH DOWNLOADER"
the flasher program is in this folder ( ESP8266_flasher_V00170901_00_Cloud Update Ready )
https://github.com/Stadslab/ESP8266_example/tree/master/ESP8266_flasher_V00170901_00_Cloud%20Update%20Ready

i do not find such a flasher in the ( v0.9.6_b1_15_02_15 Folder ) that's why i was asking what do i need to make this one work.
i been using the flasher and entering the bin files.
maybe i can get it right if you can recommend a correct flasher program. perhaps this is my whole issue ?

I have no idea about windows flashers. But did you do my other suggestion?
I'll throw these out to you.

You jumped in in the middle. He's trying to get the wifichron clock syncing via the esp8266. So he needs an AT firmware. He's not coding any of this.
