### Why esptool is not listed in "Programmer" menu? How do I upload ESP without it?

The option to choose 4M or 1M SPIFFS is to optimize the upload time. Uploading 3MB takes a long time so sometimes you can just use 1MB. Other 2MB of flash can still be used with ``` ESP.flashRead ``` and ``` ESP.flashWrite ``` APIs if necessary.
### I have observed a case when ESP.restart() doesn't work. What is the reason for that?
You will see this issue only if serial upload was not followed by a physical reset (e.g. power-on reset). For a device being in that state ESP.restart() will not work. Apparently the issue is caused by [one of internal registers not being properly updated until physical reset](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/issues/1017#issuecomment-200605576). This issue concerns only serial uploads. OTA uploads are not affected. If you are using ESP.restart(), the work around is to reset ESP once after each serial upload.
