Generic ESP8266 module "No available programmer for this board"

Development Tools IDE 1.x
1

Hello everyone, I have encountered an issue in uploading code to my ESP8266 12-f module.

I was able to normally upload the code with "AVRISP mkll" option. But since the boards are displayed in separate categories, the "AVRISP mkll" option disappeared when I select the "Generic ESP8266 Module", I have tried to modify the parameters, but it still showed "No available programmer for this board".

I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Arduino IDE, but it does not solve the program. Also tried to shift back to an earlier version of the esp8266 board, which did not help either.

Does anything encounter a similar situation? How should I fix this issue? I will really appreciate any answers. Thank you very much.

You will only get this error if you are trying to do an "Upload Using Programmer" operation. You need to do a standard Upload operation instead.

The "Upload Using Programmer" operation is triggered by doing any of the following:

  • Selecting Sketch > Upload Using Programmer from the Arduino IDE menus.
  • Holding the Shift key on your keyboard while clicking the "Upload" button.
  • Using the Ctrl+Shift+U** keyboard shortcut.

Instead, do a standard "Upload" by any one of the following:

  • Select Sketch > Upload from the Arduino IDE menus.
  • Click the Upload button without holding the Shift key.
  • Use the Ctrl+U keyboard shortcut.

I encountered a new problem :frowning:

It worked once, but since the second attempt, it shows "
esptool.FatalError: Failed to connect to ESP8266: Timed out waiting for packet header
the selected serial port does not exist or your board is not connected
"

I tried to reset the board but it does not work.

You can follow this tutorial Time out waiting for packet headers
