Re: New Arduino IDE and ESP8622
Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2015 10:21 am
the firmware is uploaded with every arduino sketch, its not like nodemcu where you upload firmware and lua script separately.
like the regular arduino avr/sam support, a complete system image is built for flashing.
the esp8266 fork of the arduino ide and the installable "cores" all use sdk 1.0.0 at the moment, as 1.0.1 is a beta.
personally i prefer using this core: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/esp8266-Arduino instead of the full IDE port
