Cycle reload Exception (9) after AP start

[Denages]

I've built several projects using Homie. But for now, I have a weird trouble. I use Platform.io and esp8266 (esp12 1mb) module. It's connected to a separate DC power adapter (3.3V, 2.5A max) After flashing device goes into an infinity loop. What could be the reason?

Code:

#include <Homie.h>

void setup() {
  delay(1000);
  Serial.begin(115200);
  Serial << endl << endl;
  Homie_setFirmware("bare-minimum", "1.0.0"); // The underscore is not a typo! See Magic bytes
  Homie.setup();
}

void loop() {
  Homie.loop();
}

Decoder says:

You can add a monitor_filter to your pio config: https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/device/cmd_monitor.html#filters This saves you the extra decoder step.

First I'd replace the board=esp12e with board = esp01_1m. This is probably the reason, because by default an esp_01 is assumed to have 4mb of flash.

I'm wondering why you see the "ets .." line at all. Normally this is only visible when you set monitor speed to 74880 and serial begin to 74880 too. Otherwise you see garbage output before serial.begin(115200) kicks in;

Did you power cycle the device? Also I've read in several places that some devices need the flash to be erased completely before you can re-flash them.

@luebbe I've changed board to esp01_1m. The output became:

Also, tried to clear flash completely. And yes, tried to turn off power after flashing

Insufficient power supplies are known to cause resets. Are you sure that your power supply has enough capacity for the current spikes from the ESP? Have you used that supply for other ESP projects? Otherwise i suggest you try to put a capacitor >=22uF on the power to see if that helps.
