Re: Using GCC to program the ESP8266

As I understand, ESP8266 does not have flash memory. The program is stored on the serial flash IC so flashing a new firmware does not involve ESP8266 at all. You just need to write firmware to a standard serial flash IC which is very easy. All you need is a FLASH programmer. Heck you can even cook up a flash programmer using your favorite micro controller. Let me know if I am missing something.
