If I have 4MB module (esp-12). Need more spiff memory. >256

[STASIUK]

I have 4MB module (esp-12) and my files do not fit in 256 KB.
Can I increase the spiff memory size for my module(esp-12). And as?
Maybe somewhere in the settings need to change?

[anakod]

You can just set SPI_SIZE = 4M in Makefile configuration.
More details here: #78

[STASIUK]

Something comes out. Files not included.
Total files take 620kb. I have esp-12 module (4MB).
What can I do to add all the files?

[sobiso]

What SDK version ?

[STASIUK]

latest.

[STASIUK]

please, help.

[anakod]

How you upload files? Spiffy, FTP, or something else?

[STASIUK]

I upload through singing Spiffy and FTP.
total size of files that I want to load the module 620kb.
I have esp-12 module (4MB).

Default fs size is 196608 and directory is files.
Creating rom spiff_rom.bin of size 196608 bytes
Adding files in directory files
Unable to read file .

admin.html added to spiffs (4562 bytes)

Unable to write file main.js - errno -10010
main.js added to spiffs (769 bytes)
spiff_rom.bin---------->0x44000

When I upload files via FTP they do not fit.
What do I need to do, to increase the size of the file system to hold all my files?

How have you been checking out what type of Flash You have?

See my example #201

[flexiti]

I have ESP12 and, SPI_SIZE = 4M

"fs.start: size:3824 Kb, offset:0x40000" , so its 3.8 Mb spiff file system

You have only 196 Kb
"Default fs size is 196608 and directory is files"

[sobiso]

Change in /Sming/Makefile-project.mk line:
echo "$(SPIFF_FILES) directory exists. Creating spiff_rom.bin";
spiffy
mv spiff_rom.bin $(FW_BASE)/spiff_rom.bin; \

to:
echo "$(SPIFF_FILES) directory exists. Creating spiff_rom.bin";
spiffy 500000 files;
mv spiff_rom.bin $(FW_BASE)/spiff_rom.bin; \

[flexiti]

first: find file Makefile-project.mk in SmingFramework project
next: change SPI_SIZE to 4M
then: rebulit SmingFramework, next rebulit and download Your project.
Ps. I don't know if You need also change SPI_MODE

# SPI_MODE: qio, qout, dio, dout  
SPI_MODE ?= qio
# SPI_SIZE: 512K, 256K, 1M, 2M, 4M
SPI_SIZE ?= 4M

[anakod]

SPI_MODE=dio for large flash, usually.

[AutomationD]

@anakod @flexiti I should probably make a simple user option in Makefile-user.mk for this. Something like

# FLASH_SIZE := 512K
# FLASH_SIZE := 1M
# FLASH_SIZE := 2M
FLASH_SIZE := 4M

On the other hand,is there any way to detect the device type somehow automatically?

[flexiti]

The only way is like in my example at #201

[piperpilot]

As far as I can tell SPIFF uses memory mapped SPI access, not direct SPI Read, so the combined user code and SPIFF must fit in the 1MB boundary. The SPIFF routines would need to be re-written to use direct SPI access to support the above example of 3.8MB SPIFFs

[STASIUK]

I have does not work!
I ordered in Makefile-project.mk :

SPI_SIZE = 4M
SPI_MODE = dio

Build project (rebuild, flashinit, flashboot and flash)
and in the terminal, I get:

fs.start: size:224 Kb, offset:40244000

What am I doing wrong ?

[flexiti]

You must first rebulid sming, did You ?

[STASIUK]

How do I do this?

[flexiti]

[STASIUK]

How do I do this?

[anakod]

You should rebuild your project too, and add SPI configuration details to makefile before that.

[ghost]

can you create "How to slove this problem "(step-by-step) because i got this problem also.

[STASIUK]

1. Delete folder C:\Espressif
2. Install https://github.com/CHERTS/esp8266-devkit/releases/tag/v2.0.6

[AutomationD]

@STASIUK were you able to resolve it? What was the list of actions that you took?

[iprak]

I also ran into the same issue. The latest spiffy from https://github.com/xlfe/spiffy is hardcoded to 192KB max size. I ended up using a forked version https://github.com/alonewolfx2/spiffy.
