Steve,<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>

Michael<br>
