#12415 Hi there

This is my first try at the compiler.... sorry if I am asking "known" questions....
It there a guide regarding this, please?

I think I have compiled blinky under Win64 Eclipse with Gerts toolchain.

It looks like 2 bin files were created...
eagle.flash.bin about 29k
and eagle.irom0text.bin

Is this correct?

Must this now be flashed to my ESP?

Under nodemcu firmware programmer, Config....
which file must go where?
0x00000 ........
0x10000 ..........

Thank you for the support and help.
I really do appreciate

Rgds

#12422 With the eclipse IDE and CHERTS excellent code you should have within eclipse access to the make file.
After a successful compile do the following
Right click >>Make targets>>flash
If the pins are correct for flashing the esp8266 ( the pin values at power on ( same as for node.mcu flashing) ) the python based flasher in the eclipse IDE will flash the chip.
Some compilations may place data in specific areas of the flash (Ex a small file system). In that situation the Make targets>>will have another option to flash this specific area
