ESP8266 and Arduino scripts

Hello,
I bought WIFI development board ESP-12F. I would like to upload Arduino scripts to it.

I know how to burn firmware, but I don't know if I should upload any special firmware before I can use Arduino IDE to upload Arduino scripts?
At the moment i have burnt NODEMCU firmware from

OR it actually does not matter which firmware is present on ESP8266, because uploading script from Arduino IDE is the same as burning a new firmware?

That's correct. Enjoy!
