+
+This is the distribution folder for ESPeasy.
+In here you will find a flash tool to program the ESP module.
+
+Also a number of binary images is included.
+
+The filename is quite descriptive:
+  ESP_Easy_mega-<date>_<buildType>_<chip>_<memorySize>.bin
+
+Build type can be:  (differ in included plugins)
+- normal  => Only Stable plugins and controllers
+- test    => Stable + Testing
+- dev     => Stable + Testing + Development
+
+There is also a number of special builds:
+- normal_IR => "Normal" + IR receiver/transmitter plugins and library
+- hard_xxxxx => Special builds for some off-the-shelff hardware.
+
+Chip can be:
+- ESP8266      => Most likely option
+- ESP8285      => Used in some Sonoff modules
+- ESP32        => Experimental support at this moment
+- ESP8266PUYA  => For ESP modules with a flash chip labeled "PUYA" (often 1 MB)
+
+The "PUYA" version deserves a bit more attention.
+If you cannot save settings, better try to see if the flash chip has "PUYA" written on it.
+If so, try the "PUYA" build.
+
+MemorySize can be:
+- 1024  => 1 MB flash modules (e.g. almost all Sonoff modules)
+- 2048  => 2 MB flash modules (e.g. Shelly1)
+- 4096  => 4 MB flash modules (e.g. NodeMCU)
+
+
+To help recover from a bad flash, there are also blank images included.
+- blank_1MB.bin
+- blank_2MB.bin
+- blank_4MB.bin
+
+When the wrong image is flashed, or the module behaves unstable, or is in a reboot loop,
+flash these images first and then the right image for the module.
+
+Another great flash tool can be found here: (Windows only)
+  https://github.com/Grovkillen/ESP_Easy_Flasher
