+Adding this content here is to improve the user's development efficiency and avoid stepping into known problems.
+
+1. Bootloader
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+V3.1 updated the bootloader to initialize SPI flash I/O mode and clock. So if you are using the V3.0 bootloader,
+and now upgrade to the new SDK, please disable the following configuration in the menuconfig:
+    
+    - "Bootloader config  ---> [ ] Bootloader init SPI flash"
+ 
+2. Sniffer or Smartconfig
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+We moved some functions from IRAM to flash, including `malloc` and `free` fucntions, to save more memory.
+In this case, please do not read/write/erase flash during sniffer/promiscuous mode.
+You need to disable the sniffer/promiscuous mode at first, then read/write/erase flash. 
+
+3. ESP8285 or ESP8266 + 1MB flash
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+ESP8285 or ESP8266 + 1MB flash can use "Copy OTA Mode" for OTA, more details are in the `examples/system/ota <https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK/tree/master/examples/system/ota/>`_.
