ESP 8266 Firmware update bin file order ?

Hi dear community;

i want to perform firmware update over arduino uno r3.

i spend a lot of time to how to do, there are many similar methods to do but i see there is no constant method to do. im confused about several point.
May be this is relating with espressif's province, but im asking to you because "Espressif" has no forum to ask. =)

i have a question

By what ? and how to decide the order of bin files in Espressif's official ESP8266 firmware download tool

as you can see here is three same upgrade methode over arduino uno and same firmware file types of different versions anyway version difference not matter.

441×641 37.3 KB
429×680 25.6 KB
750×607 148 KB

The matter is;1st, 2nd, 3rd 4th..... place order of this files different in each of them ?
an example "blank.bin" in first picture at 2nd place , in second picture 1st place and last picture its at the 4rd place
is there a reasonable explanation or official manual belong this ?
or this not matter where you put file in order randomly ?

Thanks in advance, best regards.

Are you using the ESP8266 as a shield for the UNO and you want to httpUpdate() over WiFi?

The GUI you are using is an Espressif tool only for your ESP. If you are using the ESP as a shield for an UNO you want to use the Arduino IDE to upload your sketch (firmware code you have written) to your UNO.

If you are trying to setup your ESP8266 to be used as a shield, Bringamosa and Juraj were just helping someone install the AT firmware on an ESP8266 to use it as a shield in this thread.

I would follow the order described in Espressif's "ESP8266 Non-OS AT Instruction Set" documentation, which you can download here:

It's at section 1.2: Downloading AT Firmware into the Flash.

the order is not important. only the addresses are important.
all the files are written to flash to nonoverlapping regions

Sir Thank you for your guidance thats what i want

Thank you for your instruction but how to avoid nonoverlapping region the file is there anything i should do specificly or is the flash downloader program set it automaticly ?

you are overthinking it. the addresses are given. the bin file sizes are known. they are not overlapping, if you put in the right addresses

I am looking for the same. Restore the ESP8266 12E back to AT comand set after some nice experiments with 8266 examples.

Could somebody give a list of bin files and the addresses to load them to get the AT comands back available on the board.

I am going to use "flash_download_tools_v3.6.5_0"

And I have a "ESP8266_AT_Bin_V1.7.zip" with the following files in a bin folder:

23.08.2018 02:09 .
23.08.2018 02:09 ..
23.08.2018 02:09 at
23.08.2018 02:09 at_sdio
23.08.2018 02:09 4 096 blank.bin
23.08.2018 02:09 1 936 boot_v1.2.bin
23.08.2018 02:09 3 856 boot_v1.6.bin
23.08.2018 02:09 4 080 boot_v1.7.bin
23.08.2018 02:09 128 esp_init_data_default_v05.bin
23.08.2018 02:09 128 esp_init_data_default_v08.bin

Probably they should be listed in to SPIDownload tab of the tool for download.
And do I need to download some thing more to get just AT comand set running?
