ESP8266 Community Forum

- Sat Sep 06, 2014 10:01 am #252 I've done some research on the bootloader protocol, and I'm working on a simple python utility to download firmware to RAM and Flash, so we can avoid XTCOM.
I hope that the community will create a great open, cross-platform utility to support custom firmware on the ESP8266.

I'll add a note on the github project.
