Before that I used the wrong version of xt-ocd.exe , and I installed the old ftdi-driver from Olimex, resulting in very bad performance and instability.
Now stability is still is an aspect of great concern: you very often have to restart the VisualGDB-debugger, and/or power down or reset the esp8266.....
Sometimes the chip,wont flash anymore repeatedly. My workaround, no guarantee, is to power down the chip for lets say half an hour , et voila, the download to the flash was succesfull again.
So you have to very patient debugging via jtag. In the meantime I have inserted printf statements to the serial port to monitor real time issues.....
Turned out I had a wiring problem, I now have this running with the Segger J-Link.
