ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello,

Very simple question.
My ESP spits out constant rubbish on UART after flashing.
I tried different bauds, but doesn't ever get readable.
I did an erase flash, flashed nodeMCU firmware.
Reflashed empty loop, ...

The problem started after getting an error with esptool flashing: digest error or something similar.
The only error I can imagine is a pointer writed out of range and something happened.


Thanks

First things first:

• Connect ESP to computer
• Download, install and open a terminal application (eg PuTTY)
• Create/open a session on 74880 baud
• Reset ESP
• Copy output and paste it on this forum

Sorry for late reply.
This is also rubbish. I can't get any readable information out of it.
I will do again and post some screenshots so you can see it yourself.

Solved,
Bootloader baudrate was not working on Ubuntu.
I found the error. I needed to reflash the init data.

Error I got:
