title: Understanding the nodemcu-firmware repository
body: <p>Just getting started with the nodemcu-firmware repository on GitHub. My goal is to implement a networking suite into the esp8266, so I will not have to do the socket programming myself. I am wondering if someone would be able to elaborate to me, what exactly is the node MCU-firmware repository used for, and if my goal would be a good fit for the repository. I am new to C programming and working with microcontrollers, so any help would be very much appreciated.</p>
