- Tue Jul 14, 2015 11:16 am #23247 I've just received some W25Q80, and I decided to sacrifice one of my ESP01.
I've tried to use esptool to upload my sketch, the erase phase succeeded, but the upload failed with the following error :

Code: Select allConnecting...
Erasing flash...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/martin/esp8266/esptool-master/esptool.py", line 536, in <module>

    raise Exception('Invalid head of packet')
Exception: Invalid head of packet


I've also tried to get it flash_id, but same error ...
I presume that the chips are not good. I will have to wait another batch I've ordered, this time some W25Q32.

EDIT : False Alarm ! Those 208mil are tough to fit in, so 1 pins wasn't soldered properly. Now it is flashed and works properly.

- Tue Jul 14, 2015 3:59 pm #23266 I've tested them with the W25Q16DVSNIG (2MByte) (Available from Digikey) and they even work with the W25Q128FVSIG (32 MByte) though I haven't tested to make sure I can read/write to/from 100% of it.

W25Q128FVSIG (32 MByte)

You means 16MBytes ...

I've also some W25Q64 ordered from China, but I won't get them until next month.
