As with [flashing](flash.md) there are several ways to upload code from your computer to the device.
|
||
|
||
Note that the NodeMCU serial interface uses 9600 bps at boot time. To increase the speed after booting, issue `uart.setup(0,115200,8,0,1,1)`. ESPlorer will do this automatically when changing the speed in the dropdown list.
|
||
If the device panics and resets at any time, errors will be written to the serial interface at 115200 bps.

# Compiling Lua on your PC for Uploading
|
||
|
||
If you install lua on your development PC or Laptop then you can use the standard Lua
|
||
compiler to syntax check any Lua source before downloading it to the ESP8266 module. However,
|
||
the nodemcu compiler output uses different data types (e.g. it supports ROMtables) so the
|
||
compiled output cannot run on the ESP8266.
|
||
|
||
Compiling source on one platform for use on another (e.g. Intel x38 Window to ESP8266) is
|
||
known as _cross-compilation_ and the nodemcu firmware supports the compilation of `luac.cross`
|
||
on \*nix patforms which have Lua 5.1, the Lua filesystem module (lfs), and the essential
|
||
GCC tools. Simply change directory to the firmware root directoy and run the command:
|
||
|
||
lua tools/cross-lua.lua
|
||
|
||
This will generate a `luac.cross` executable in your root directory which can be used to
|
||
compile and to syntax-check Lua source on the Development machine for execution under
|
||
nodemcu lua on the ESP8266.
