it is a sucessful upload. the esptool resets the esp8266 after upload

[Jake-Peralt-a]

Hi ,its still not working.How long does it take to reset

[JAndrassy]

reset is immediate. how do you know it doesn't work?
why do you set Generic ESP8266 if you have a NodeMcu?

[Jake-Peralt-a]

The NodeMCU is not connecting to my wifi router, I set it to nodemcu and tried again but got the same message .

[d-a-v]

Check GPIOs are correctly driven at boot or reset time:

• GPIO0 and GPIO2 must be high
• GPIO15 must be low

reference2

[JAndrassy]

do you have some debug prints in setup()?

[devyte]

Closing because I don't see a core issue here.

After updating the Arduino IDE to 1.8.10 the ESP-01s with this usb adapter does not reset after successfully uploading a program using the generic configuration. I've tried with a NodeMCU 0.9 (ESP-12) and that one resets correctly using the board specific configuration.

[d-a-v]

This adapter has a physical switch for running or programming an esp-01.
What is the exact version of the core and configuration of the menu that allows the board to reset and run right after programming ?

[JAndrassy]

@d-a-v they left the switch in programming mode. the old esptool didn't reset after upload so the uploaded sketch did run until next reset. It allowed quick debugging.

[d-a-v]

@GonzalezAnguita Are you able to try #6429 ?

@Saketh-Bobbala I Had the same issue, try changing the baud value in the serial monitor (do this if you are using Arduino) to the one that is in the code.
