p. 66 : Texting and IoT Embedded Devices (Part 1): Fun with the ESP8266 SoC,
By Jeff Bachiochi

Jeff’s Arduino IDE has been updated for the ESP8266. The instructions using the instructions found at http://esp8266.github.io/Arduino/versions/2.2.0/doc/installing.html. Jeff has chosen the ‘Generic ESP8266 Module from the IDE’s ‘Tools/Board/’ pull down menu.

There are modules available that contain both the FTDI chip and the ESP. Here for some possibilities https://arduino-esp8266.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boards.html

ESP8266 Community Forum at www.github.com/esp8266/arduino for more information on how to install the support onto your Arduino IDE.

ESP8266 Community Wiki at www.esp8266.com/wiki/doku.php?id=esp8266-module-family for more information on ESP8266 modules.
