I dug the esp_init_data_default.bin out. It would be nice if it were bundled closer to where you actually need it.

The point is that you don't really need it as the doc states.

The trick for me was to install python on my windows computer. After that I was able to pip install esptool and get esptool, and after that right out of the manual, an erase flash and than a flash with just the bin.

There's the new tool https://github.com/marcelstoer/nodemcu-pyflasher from yours truly that circumvents that. Just download .exe and run it.

and no real way to find out how close you are to the memory limits except for the appearance
of general flakiness. Running a batch of One-wire sensors meant cutting modules and even
print statements to the minimum.
