    Hi,

    The _estack and main() errors are not critical and can be ignored. They are displayed because the structure of an esp8266 image is different from many other architectures and some auxiliary features do not work with those. It should not interfere with the debugging. Does the LED actually blink? Are you able to stop at breakpoints?

    Doesn’t blink and doesn’t stop at the breakpoints. It ran once and led was blinking but when I stopped and compile the second time I got the message with the _estack error and now doesn’t blink.

    Hi,

    We have just released an updated version of our ESP8266 toolchain with improved stability. Could you please try it and let us know if the problem still exists?
