I have a few questions regarding ESP8266
- Can I flash AT firmware on a ESP8266 board?
- I compiled the esp8266 blink example. When I performed the ESP8266 sketch data upload from the Arduino IDE, i got the error SPIFFS error: esptool not found. How do I install the esptool? My version of ESP8266 is similar to Wemos D1 mini. It has the ESP8266, a led and an antenna.
- I flashed the AT firmware that I used for ESP01 onto the ESP8266. When I open the serial port on the Arduino IDE, the baud rate of the serial port is 74880 instead of 115200. It has these error messages, error magic! backup boot failed.
- i also having trouble finding a site that I can download the Nodemcu firmware that I can use to flash.

Hi.
For the SPIFFS problem, I think this solves the issue: https://www.esp8266.com/viewtopic.php?p=82520#p82520.
As for the other questions, I didn’t understand… What AT firmware are you talking about? Can you be a little more specific?
Regards,
Sara

For the AT command firmware, I am referring to the “esp8266_nonos_sdk_v1.5.4_16_05_20” that I can download from the espressif.com site.
Can you provide a link where I can download the Nodemcu firmware?
Many thanks for your help.

Hi.
If you are referring to the “original” ESP8266 AT firmware, as you said, you can download it from espressif website:
However, if you are referring to the ESP8266 NodeMCU LUA firmware, I think this is what you are looking for:
Let me know if this is what you were looking for.

Yes, this is what I am looking for. For the Nodemcu, do I select what drivers to include in the build and should I pick the release version ot the frozen version? Thank you.
