• I use the CH340 USB to serial driver (COM5:)

    I've installed python and esptool.py. I've used this to flash ESP8266 boards for microPython and that works fine.

    PS C:\Users\me\OneDrive\Documents\esp8266\E­SPruino> putty
    

    From putty I am trying to connect to the board directly with 115200 baud and then I power cycle it and try again. After that I attempt the Espruino Web IDE with 115200 baud.

    I have also tried this esptool.py line:

    python ..\code\esptool\esptool.py --port COM5 --baud 460800 write_flash --flash_freq 80m --flash_mode qio --flash_size 4MB-c1 0x0000 "boot_v1.6.bin" 0x1000 espruino_esp8266_user1.bin 0x3FC000  esp_init_data_default.bin 0x3FE000 blank.bin
    

    which flashes the board, also tried this one:

    python ..\code\esptool\esptool.py --port COM5 --baud 115200 write_flash --flash_freq 40m --flash_mode qio --flash_size 4m 0x0000 "boot_v1.6.bin" 0x1000 espruino_esp8266_user1.bin 0x7C000 esp_init_data_default.bin 0x7E000 blank.bin
    

    but that one says: Detected overlap at address: 0x7c000 for file ...

    I have tried these versions, in order, with both working esptool.py lines above:
    1) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/esprui­no_1v99_esp8266_4mb/
    2) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/esprui­no_1v99_esp8266/
    3) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/esprui­no_1v98_esp8266_4mb/
    4) https://www.espruino.com/binaries/esprui­no_1v95_esp8266_4mb/

    Still no console in putty or the Web IDE
