Getting Started

Initial setup guidance for GhostESP

New to GhostESP? Work through these pages in order:

Check your board - confirm compatibility before flashing.
Flash GhostESP - start with the web flasher, or choose a manual USB or Flipper Zero method.
Connect to GhostESP - pick the on-device UI, WebUI, serial CLI, Flipper app, or desktop app.
Try your first scan - run a passive Wi-Fi scan to confirm your device works.

After that, configure SD card storage, connect a second board with GhostLink or BLE Bridge, and review firmware updates.
