Research direction
The issue lacks specific error logs or reproduction steps. Start by reviewing the ESP8266 boot process and WiFi initialization code in the repository, particularly the main setup function and WiFi library calls. Check if the device requires WiFi to boot normally. Since the issue is vague, ask for more details such as hardware setup, exact error messages, and whether the device boots without the WiFi module attached.
