ESP8266 WiFi gateway crashes and reboots when controller connects

[georgep56]

I have a small system working OK with 2 nodes and a USB gateway to Domoticz.
I just built an ESP8266 WiFi gateway (using the development branch code and libs).
It all compiled and loads OK, but when I try to link it to my Domoticz controller the 8266 crashes.
Here is the output from the serial port of the ESP8266... Prior to the controller connecting I can see the outputs from my temperature/humidity/pressure sensor being received OK

Could you perhaps try the latest from dev-branch?

[georgep56]

Aaargh! I just downloaded the latest release and now when I try to compile I get this. (In the meantime my Arduino IDE has updated the ESP8266 board definitions). I tried to go back to the previous ESP8266 config but that fails with lots more errors than this!

Arduino: 1.6.6 (Linux), Board: "NodeMCU 1.0 (ESP-12E Module), 80 MHz, Serial, 115200, 4M (3M SPIFFS)"

Build options changed, rebuilding all

Someone else reported this compile problem.. I suspected something had happened when using the latest ESP board files. I'll have a look at it when I'm back from a conference.

Hi. Has this issue with the crashing ESP8266 module ever been solved? I have this problem here also.
