You need to install the same toolchain for the ESP8266 as is used for the ESP32 to use the ESP8266 with TinyGo:

In addition, you must install the esptool flashing tool:

Now you should be able to flash your board as follows:

Plug your ESP8266 board into your computer’s USB port.
Build and flash your TinyGo code using the tinygo flash command. This command flashes the ESP8266 with the blinky1 example:
```
tinygo flash -target=nodemcu -port=/dev/ttyUSB examples/blinky1
```
The ESP8266 board should restart and then begin running your program.
