Slip Router starts then seems to reboot

[lorneb]

Hi I'm using the latest bin files from the firmware folder dated 16 days ago (as of today)
on a esp8266 12F module, that has been running other firmware compiled from Arduino"for ages without issue. I have also tried loading the esp_init_data_default_v08_vdd33.bin @ 0x3FC000 but made no difference. I'm using a raspberry pi2 with raspbian and configured it with the ones from your instructions relating to AP mode.

I get this on debug out put
SLIP Interface V1.0 starting

Config found and loaded

if I watch the serial output @74880 I get then, over and over (delay of a few seconds between)

Just after a few pointers to try thanks in advance

Please do one HW (or power cycle) reset after flashing.

Thanks @martin-ger
I gave that a try, still the same though, seems to restart every 5 seconds.

this is the output from my Rpi.
root@raspberrypi:/var/log# slattach -d -v -L -p slip -s 115200 /dev/ttyUSB0

slip started on /dev/ttyUSB0 interface sl0

I then did in a separate window:
ifconfig sl0 192.168.240.2 pointopoint 192.168.240.1 up mtu 1500
route add -net 192.168.4.0/24 gw 192.168.240.1

but cannot ping 192.168.240.1
