esp-link is ESP8266 firmware that turns the module into a transparent WiFi-to-serial bridge for attached microcontrollers. It also provides outbound REST and MQTT connectivity, a built-in web server, and WiFi-based flashing of AVR and ARM microcontrollers.
Use cases
- debug a microcontroller over wifi via a serial bridge
- flash an arduino or avr chip over the network
- send mqtt messages from an embedded device
- make rest http requests from a microcontroller
- serve a web page with data from an attached mcu
- program lpc800 arm microcontrollers over wifi
When to choose
- you have an ESP8266 module attached to a microcontroller and want wifi connectivity
- you need remote serial access or OTA programming of AVR/ARM chips
- you want simple MQTT or REST from a uC without heavy firmware
When to avoid
- you need a general-purpose ESP8266 application framework rather than a bridge
- you require actively maintained firmware with recent fixes
- you use ESP32 or non-ESP8266 hardware
