ESP8266: Say ‘hello’ to Frankenstein

Since I’ve got some homebrew development boards ready, it’s time to get hacking.
I stocked on coffee and gave esp8266 SDK a deep dive this weekend. The code is really weird, lots of things are unknown, API is shitty, blobs all around the place. First of all, to make things clear – I’m not going to fix or do anything with AT-command firmware. It sucks. Period. Sucks so much it can’t even prove useful as a reference most of the times. So… we need a replacement.

This is what I’m working on and that is now, after a weekend of hacking is in early alpha stage.

Say hello to Frankenstein Firmware for ESP8266.
