Has anyone seen the following log and do you know what it is waiting for or means:

rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x3 (DOWNLOAD_BOOT(UART0/UART1/SDIO_REI_REO_V2))
waiting for download

Solved - the program has a problem with the boot area of the flash program. I needed to re-flash the system bin file. I used the command line tool esptool.py
At the prompt I typed:

esptool.py --baud 921600 write_flash 0x1000 system-info.bin

I chose not to erase the flash before I re-upped the image. I tested this with other flash tools but only the command line one worked.

See my other post for the putty log file that helped solve this issue
