ESP8266 Community Forum

Hello people, this is my first post. I was wondering how it is possible to increase the speed of the ESP8266 to more than 160MHz. I have already seen projects that take it quite a long way (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWT2w7v9szs) The only thing that interests me about the ESP8266 is its processing capacity, as long as it has a stable UART connection to send and receive, I am not interested in the rest (Control of GPIO, WiFi, Bluetooth, ...) I already set up the native SDK (not the "nosdk8266", the normal one) following this guide: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp8266-rtos-sdk/en/latest/get-started/index.html#setup-toolchain and also succesfly load the hello world program and play a litle bit with it. Now, I am trying to empower this microcontroller as far as possible, if anyone knows where they should start to get the most out of this chip, they would be grateful. Greetings.

As you already have learned in the meantime, this is an area where Espressif keeps very secretive. As there are no ways to reverse engineer this kind of stuff, I am afraind we will never know.
