a year-old thread.
I'm programming an SFE ESP8266 module via FTDI232 with
Arduino 1.8.1 (and 1.6.4).
I've downloaded/installed the Arduino IDE support and 8266 core
from here and from igrr.me (installation was uneventful). Selecting
"Generic ESP8266 Device" and the "Blink" example, the upload
seems to go well. The indicator<s> stop at "[100]" (complete). When
I let GPIO0 float and reboot the device I get jibberish from the serial port
(previously I could enter "AT" commands and get good results).
I never get a "complete" indicator (from #48789 I've learned not to
expect a "verify" indicator/message) at the end of uploading.
Attached is the IDE output for the upload segment.
I'm new to this SoC, and am stumped as to what I might be
doing wrong, and how to recover from a programmable
(but ?corrupted?) 8266.
If you have any insight/suggestions I'd appreciate hearing 'em.
