"Besides, U0TXD is also a strapping pin for chip_test_mode(1: normal mode; 0: chip_test_mode). Thus, U0TXD can't be pulled down just when the system is powered on. "

Can this behavior be changed? Is there a way, probably tweaking the bootloader, where the strapping for chip_test_mode is disabled.
I have an diode connected to gnd from UOTXD which is avoiding to boot the ESP8266 in normal mode.

Thanks
Niraj

1.what hardware (max current draw?, only LED? Transistor possible?) can be connected to U0TXD=GPIO1 to boot successful and save reach UserInit after a cold boot? Or should this be evaluated by testing?

->U0TXD+U0RXD or GPIO2+U0RXD usually can be used to download firmware into external spi flash.
Besides, U0TXD is also a strapping pin for chip_test_mode(1: normal mode; 0: chip_test_mode). Thus, U0TXD can't be pulled down just when the system is powered on.


2. In UserInit U0TXD-Pin will be connected as GPIO1-output. (->max output 10mA after this configuration?)
->When U0TXD is reused as GPIO1, the source current of this GPIO is 12mA and sink current can be greater than 12mA.


3. I know there is debug output of ROM-boot loader, and this is misuse. But GPIOs are limited and normally a LED is connected. I dont need serial in normal state.
->It is ok for you to connect a led in this pin to vdd.

Thanks.
