ESP8266 generic 1M boot loop on 2021.10.0.dev0

[reaper7]

The problem

Wall WiFi Switch do not wake up after flashing last dev (boot loop)

I opened the device and I tried to upload via uart, effect is the same. I tried the previous version 2021.9.1 and the device booted up properly.

I've never had a situation like this... I uploaded the first software using tuya-convert long time ago. I always tested development versions and I have never had to demolish the case to upload the software :)

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2021.10.0.dev0

What type of installation are you using?

pip

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

2021.9.6

What platform are you using?

ESP8266

Board

esp01_1m

A change has been done to fix the reboot loop by @OttoWinter See https://github.com/esphome/esphome/pull/2362

Note that there are still some issues with OTA updates, so for the time being it might be wise to avoid the bleeding edge dev branch. The changes that are currently being done are for the greater good, but are quite extended. There might be more issues that weren't found yet.

[reaper7]

@mmakaay - Yes, I tested this PR a few hours ago. ESP actually starts (flashing via uart), wifi starts up, web interface is available, LED and relay do not work, some missing GPIO configuration?? (but I'll check it later today).

When trying to upload via OTA, stops at 1%, esp restarts and takes a memory dump.

P.S. the plug is still open(the casing does not look very good), PCB soldered to the converter, so I'm going to test the next fixes :)

[mmakaay]

All fixes that I provided have been merged into dev. This includes a fix for the 1% reboot + memory dump issue. So if you flash one more time using the serial connection, then subsequent flashing operations should work using OTA.

[reaper7]

@mmakaay - so, almost everything works fine, booting, wifi, web interface, ota, binary sensor(gpio)

but not OUTPUTS. does not work: switch gpio (relay and led) status led

logs show that the switch is toggling but the corresponding esp pins do not change state

[mmakaay]

Can you create a new issue for that? I'm afraid that it would get lost, buried in this issue. I'm currently not at my pc, but I'll setup a test when I get back home.
