I’m having a terrible time trying to get the WRL-13678 flashed.
I’ve tried external power to the ESP8266 and serial comms though
an FTDI232 (which seems to work, per se). The tx/rx lights
on both the ftdi and esp flash while the Arduino IDE shows
progress and ends with “closed bootloader”. However, when
‘run’ (GPIO0 pull-up to 3.3v) the serial output of the ESP
(at 74880) shows:
ets Jan 8 2013,rst cause:2, boot mode:(3,4)
load 0x4010f000, len 1384, room 16
tail 8
chksum 0xef
csum 0xef
csum err
ets_main.c
I have GPIO2 floating (I have tried it with 3.3v and pull-up
to 3.3), GPIO0 to GND when programming, and pull-up to
3.3v (and 3.3v direct) when trying to ‘run’). I’m using the
Arduino IDE to program it, using the “Generic ESP8266 Device”
entry from the ESP8266.com/arduino.igrr.me git repo.
As a sanity check, I just flashed the “blink” sketch to the
8266 Thing Dev board with no problems.
I’ve been at this for several days, and would really
like to find a way to successfully program the 13678.
(A couple of posts to the forums @ esp8266.com have gone
unanswered)
If there are ANY suggestions of how to trouble shoot/correct
this condition, I’d really appreciate your suggestion insights.
Thanks!
