ESP8266 Architecture
ESP8266 offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to
offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
When ESP8266 hosts the application, and when it is the only application processor in the device, it is able to boot up
directly from an external flash. It has integrated cache to improve the performance of the system in such applications,
and to minimize the memory requirements.
Alternately, serving as a Wi-Fi adapter, wireless internet access can be added to any microcontroller-based design with
simple connectivity through UART interface or the CPU AHB bridge interface.
ESP8266 on-board processing and storage capabilities allow it to be integrated with the sensors and other application
specific devices through its GPIOs with minimal development up-front and minimal loading during runtime. With its high
degree of on-chip integration, which includes the antenna switch balun, power management converters, it requires
minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.
Sophisticated system-level features include fast sleep/wake context switching for energy-efficient VoIP, adaptive radio
biasing for low-power operation, advance signal processing, and spur cancellation and radio co-existence features for
common cellular, Bluetooth, DDR, LVDS, LCD interference mitigation.

Upgrading ESP8266 Firmware
How to upgrade ESP8266 firmware?
Copyright©2019|Facebook/Emtronik technology| MIG-19, FIRE STATION, BARAMUNDA, BBSR| 9853111023
We use NodeMCU flasher here, the download links:
English version: https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-flasher
Note: use nodemcu flasher to flash Firmware to ESP8266, its default firmware is Lau language. If you want to
flash AT Commands firmware, go to ESP8266 forum to get one.
Chinese version: File:ESP8266Flasher-x86-v0.9.2.3.zip
1. Connect your ESP8266 module as follows:
Vcc = 3.3V (needs around 300-400mA peak)
Gnd = -ve ground
CH_PD = Chip enable so always +ve
RST = Leave floating or ground to reset
GPIO0 = Normally floating but this needs to be grounded when you start the update.
GPIO2 = high level
UTXD = Tx data connect to RX on FTDI/Serial interface
URXD = Rx data connect to TX of FTDI/Serial interface
English Version: Please refer to the NodeMCU flasher user guide.
Chinese Version: Please see the next step below
2. Open the software, choose the right COM and click the button that is circled in the following picture. When a tick
appears in the bottom-left corner, it suggests that the firmware upgrade successfully.
