If you are asking a question, please follow this template:

I am new with mongoose os and want to be able to program my esp01 OTA.
I followed the tutorial, and created an new app by entering ctrl+n.
Build the app application by mos build
but when i try to flash it I get an error

$ mos flash

can mongoose os not operate on esp01 1m? or am I missing something?

Not sure, but you can try use the command line argument --verbose as part of the build step which will print the firmware size in the logs and see how big it is

I was able to flash an empty project on to it…

In order to flash a 1M ESP8266, you have to build the firmware using --build-var=BOARD="esp8266-1M".
This build does not support OTA. You need at least 2MB of flash for OTA.
