Can't flash ESP8266. Error: Module for path is not found
See original GitHub issueI cannot flash my ESP8266 board. I have ESP-07 module (not WEMOS D1 mini nor WEMOS D1 mini Pro). I successfully flash it with other IDEs - Arduino and esptool.py.
When I edit Run/Debug Configuration and select my USB/UART converter, it throw an error - Error: Module for path is not found, see screenshot. Maybe it is because I have external usb/uart converter. I have latest Pycharm and Micropython plugin and Ubuntu 16.04 lts

No problem @vlasovskikh, glad to help out as long as I am doing that and not confusing things 😃
I’ll take a look at the README.md update that you are reviewing and see if I can do something to make the setup steps a little clearer. Possibly just the high level overview steps as I outlined earlier in this thread will be enough.
@tarakanov - It was my understanding that when you create frozen modules or bytecode you are actually ‘baking’ these modules into a new ‘custom’ micropython firmware image which is then put on the board in a repeat of Step 1. There is no cycle of steps 4 and 5 because you have to rebuild the complete micropython firmware image from the full source with the appropriate toolchain in order to freeze the modules and include them in the image for loading on the device.
