Core OTA issues



  • I have M5 Core, which I understand to have 4MB flash.

    My firmware.bin is 1,065,552 bytes.

    It seems like after the OTA update after reboot, the old firmware still loads, and then I get an error that there's no room to OTA.

    Same code works fine on other ESP32 dev boards.

    Any ideas? Is something interfering with the self-reflashing?

    EDIT:

    In platformio I see the following when I build:

    Advanced Memory Usage is available via "PlatformIO Home > Project Inspect"
    RAM: [= ] 13.9% (used 45448 bytes from 327680 bytes)
    Flash: [======== ] 81.3% (used 1065286 bytes from 1310720 bytes)

    Why does it seem like I don't really have 4MB of flash, or that so much is being reserved for RAM?

    OTA stands for Over the Air (FOTA – Firmware Over the Air). It refers to the wireless delivery of new or updated software or firmware to devices such as smartphones and tablets.
