I am new to this forum and I am currently doing a project with ESP8266.

My recent experiment has been with FTD1232 and ESP8266. When i upload the code everything works well but I switch off the power and switch on, ESP80266 gets reset to blank and code has to be reloaded.

So can ESP8266 not retain the code on its own after power loss?

The ESP8266 code is saved for the Arduino platform (which I use) and many others.
