* If lower baud rate didn't help, you may want to try older version of
esptool.py, which had a different programming algorithm::
pip install esptool==1.0.1
This version doesn't support ``--flash_size=detect`` option, so you will
need to specify FlashROM size explicitly (in megabits).
* The ``--flash_size`` option in the commands above is mandatory. Omitting
it will lead to a corrupted firmware.

This will use the

your ESP module in the bootloader mode, and connected to a serial port on your PC.
The default serial port is
`/dev/ttyACM0`
, flash mode is
`qio`

`8m`
.
