      <br>
      I know of no case of bricking by flashing the firmware.<br>
      <br>
      Using the developing environment, a simple "make app-flash" will
      do the esptool call for you.<br>
      <br>
      Of course you can also flash OTA. I usually flash my
      desk/development module by USB and the one in my car via Wifi from
      my local server. It's up to you. Flashing OTA can only update the
      firmware, but that's normally sufficient.<br>
      <br>
      The "-dirty" tag is appended when building from a "dirty" working
      tree, i.e. one with uncommitted changes.<br>
      <br>
      Regards,<br>
