@ -50,12 +50,16 @@ From here, you have 3 main choices
* Daily firmware builds for 1024kb modules and above.
* Daily firmware builds for 512kb modules.
The best bet is nearly always to go for the Stable firmware builds.
An exception to this though is if you have an ESP8266 module with only 512kb
of onboard storage. You can easily tell by trying to load a Stable firmware
build and if you get the error below, then you may have to use the Daily
firmware builds for 512kb modules.
WARNING: Unlikely to work as data goes beyond end of flash.
If you just start with MicroPython, the best bet is to go for the Stable
firmware builds. If you are advanced, experienced MicroPython ESP8266 user
who would like to follow development closely and help with testing new
features, there are daily builds (note: you actually may need some
development experience, e.g. being ready to follow git history to know
what new changes and features were introduced).
Support for 512kb modules is provided on a feature preview basis. For end
users, it's recommended to use modules with flash of 1024kb or more. As
such, only daily builds for 512kb modules are provided.
Deploying the firmware
