Notes

  • The integrated FTDI USB-to-Serial chip means you don't have to manually put the board into a 'flash mode'; plug int board into your computer and use esptool / aurduino ide.
  • esptool command for flashing SparkFun Thing with Espruino binaries:
/path/to/esptool/esptool.py --port /dev/ttyUSB0 --baud 115200 \
write_flash --flash_freq 40m --flash_mode qio --flash_size 4m \
0x0000 "boot_v1.4(b1).bin" 0x1000 espruino_esp8266_user1.bin \
0x7C000 esp_init_data_default.bin 0x7E000 blank.bin
