It works now!!
I used Arduino IDE instead flashtool.exe

Hi
can you tell me the parameters you used to upload the fw to R4?
Did you use version 120?

Thanks

I followed this tutorial to upload Espeasy firmware r120

I just get LinkNode R4
http://linksprite.com/wiki/index.php5?t ... controller

I uploaded the firmware ESPEasy_R120_512.bin with esptool.exe and an FTDI programmer.

The procedure ends successfully, but after boot Esp8266 does not create any access point.

Do you have any suggestion to understand why the firmware will not start.

Thank

Even if it is solved now a short advice.
The R120_512 is for small ESP's with 512 KB Flash. (Older ESP-01 for example)

On the LinkNode R4 and R8 resides an ESP-12E (or F) which has 4 MB Flash. The 512-KB binary fails on this chip.

If you use the ready made binaries, use the Rxxx_4096.

If you want to compile yourself with the Arduino IDE, set the board to "NodeMCU 1.0" (Preset to 4 MB Flash with 3 MB SPIFFS.)
or choose "Generic and set the IDE to 4 MB Flash and 3 MB SPIFFS manually.

Hi Shardan

I've tried several configuration, but the only one working, is setting "Generic and set the IDE to 512K Flash and 64K SPIFFS manually.
Have just tried again NodeMCU and Generic with 4MB, but no AP.

Reinstalled with 512K and it's working again.

Bye
