A beginner at the beginning, how to flash ESP01 to latest AT firmware?

[Jibun no kage]

I have an ESP01 module, which as a rather old firmware image...

Code: Select all

Type 'AT' Then Ctrl-M Then Ctrl-J
AT
OK

Type 'AT+GMR' Then Ctrl-M Then Ctrl-J
AT+GMR
AT version:1.2.0.0(Jul  1 2016 20:04:45)
SDK version:1.5.4.1(39cb9a32)
v1.0.0
Mar 11 2018 18:27:31
OK

I have downloaded the flash_download_tool_3.9.2.zip file and run the exe, but the window presented is NOTHING like the documentation I found on the expressif web site for flashing, so this has left me quite confused. Is there newer documentation?

I have the correct com port and baud rate set. because I get what appears to be the correct detected info for the ESP01 module I have. But I have no idea which AT binary files to download, nor what the SPI download configuration should be?

SPI Download?
