I had no luck - Flashing completes but afterwards ESp is stuck with INIT : Incorrect PID or version!<br />RESET: Reboot count: 4<br />RESET: To many reset attempts<br />Entered Rescue mode!<br /><br />The AT firmware flashes without problem. I also have tried out esp link from jeelabs with success. You can use this to get a wifi console to the pi zero. You just need to renable serial in raspi-config after flashing.<br /><br />TIA,<br /><br />gadgetRolandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13263106809427178840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616956339001230533.post-69159686934431498702016-09-22T09:38:08.972-07:002016-09-22T09:38:08.972-07:00Thank you so much, Paul, for saving me a load of t...Thank you so much, Paul, for saving me a load of time! I've worked through the above and now have new firmware running on my ESP8266! :-). I was using a PiMod3 as the host, so I needed to jump through a bunch of hoops to get the serial port working, as the mod3 changed all the serial port workings. But that's all done now and I'm working nicely. I'm using miniterm.py as the terminal, as this has the CR/LF sequence already as default, so no "Ctrl-J" nonsense :-).<br /><br />I've bought a bunch of these 8266 modules from china (ebay specials) in the hope of configuring them as cheap wifi ports for zeros (keeping the USB port free) so I now plan to follow the instructions in the following link: <br /><br />"https://hackaday.io/project/9300-esp-12f-raspberry-pi-gpio-sdio-wifi"<br /><br />I don't suppose you've tried this, have you? Clearly you can't do this with an unmodified phat (or can you? are the correct GPIO lines attached?)<br /><br />Doug<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03329335413117647386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616956339001230533.post-9724402124621710402016-07-20T12:13:32.082-07:002016-07-20T12:13:32.082-07:00Thank you.

As of today (20th July) there is a new version of the firmware - ver 2.0.0 and the current direct link to the file is bbs.espressif.com/download/file.php?id=1613 but I'm not sure how long that will remain true. I've also not had a chance to test this version either. Good luck with it.TheHetmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01148204798921665372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616956339001230533.post-49462582652281443522016-07-18T23:20:17.140-07:002016-07-18T23:20:17.140-07:00great tutorial, shame i got lost at Espressif and ...great tutorial, shame i got lost at Espressif and what firmware to get, if i try uploading the firmware in the pimoroni directory i get error espflash Invalid head of packet ('\x04')Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017906660916302866noreply@blogger.com
