problem flashing NodeMCU 8266 board under linux toolkit

Post by Stuart »

This board doesn't need any special setup to be able to flash. So after connecting it to USB and starting the toolkit, the Read Module Info works fine. Separately, Flash Firmware Only also works fine. Both the blue and green buttons also trigger a legible message on the serial monitor. Flash Firmware + Data however displays the config screen and crashes the toolkit with java errors when the 'OK' is clicked.
