partition > 8MB

[grooves]

Hello folk,

I have a t-display amolded s3 with 16MB flash, 8 MB psram, esp32s3
I want to use a 13 MB partition, filled with raw data for gif animation,
everything is ok when the partition is filled < 8MB data, above I get an error:


id.py build shows:

Your actual file size requirements might be larger
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/9913

You can create a fat partition and store your gif/raw files there instead of in a factory app partition which is used for firmware.
