Using esp-wroom-32 without a development board

You could use wireless. First, use OTA programming (eg Elegant OTA) to burn a basic OTA uploader. Then, in principle, you can then upload any sketch you want so long as it ALWAYS has the basic OTA ...

Is 1MB flash enough for OTA upload in ESP-01?

For OTA uploads, the size of the compiled (old sketch + new sketch) should not exceed the flash size. Due to this, large sketches (more than 500KB with 1MB flash) cannot be OTA uploaded directly if ...

Is it possible to check for correct architecture on OTA update (ESP32 or ESP8266)?

I assume you are the one creating the OTA update. If so, then why don't you just include a "signature" in the code that is the architecture, i.e. ESP8266 vs. ESP32 and then check for that ...
