ESP32 Forum

Hi,

I am using eclipse to debug the ESP32 and its working great.

My problem is when I try to use spiffs.

I have included the line

spiffs_create_partition_image(my_partition ./data FLASH_IN_PROJECT )

in the base project CMakeLists.txt and I also have a folder data in the base project folder.

I keep getting the error Failed to create SPIFFS image for partition 'my_partition' and also Check project configuration if using the correct partition table file.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Hi.

I have changed the sdkconfig to use a custom partition table csv and have included a partitions.csv file in the project base directory.

When I build the project using eclipse the output shows the new partition table.

Then I debug the project openOCD flashes the project and it runs okay but I can see from the bootup messages that the partition table has not been changed to the new one.

Questions:
1) Can openOCD flash a new partition table. How can this be done from eclipse?
2) I changed the flash size in sdkconfig to 4Meg but the boot messages when debugging the project say the binary image header is set to 2048K

Many Thanks,

MPC

Hi,

Found how to use eclipse with spiffs.

You have to add the following two lines to the debug configuration, Startup

mon program_esp ${workspace_loc:Spiffs/build/partition_table/partition-table.bin} 0x8000 verify
mon program_esp ${workspace_loc:Spiffs/build/storage.bin} 0x110000 verify

Where Spiffs is your project name and storage.bin is the binary file created by the following line added to your CMakeLists.txt

spiffs_create_partition_image(storage ../spiffs_image FLASH_IN_PROJECT)

partition-table.bin is created from your partitions_example.csv provided you have changed the sdkconfig to use a custom partition table.


Enjoy.....

I have hit your original problem: "Failed to create SPIFFS image for partition 'storage'. "

In theory this project is building fine for other people so I'm not 100% sure what could be wrong in my settings (vsCode).
We do have a partitions.csv
and our ./main/CMakeLists.txt has the create partition line.
But I'm still hitting the "Failed to create SPIFFS image for partition 'storage'. " failure.
Can you clarify the config you needed for to work?

Thanks!

I solved my own problem...

The .gitignore was excluding the sdkconfig. We verified this by running `idf.py menuconfig` and the partitions were not setup to us the particions.csv. Once we corrected that it built fine.
