OTA update needs PSRAM?
Posted: Tue Nov 05, 2024 7:35 pm
I am having unreliable OTA updates on an otherwise reliable link, immediately after system reset.
Specifically I get
which indicates that the largest free block (lfb) is 0x4000 (16,384 bytes), but the system needs 0x416D (16749 bytes), which is slightly larger than this largest free block.
My custom board has no PSRAM, could this be a problem? Or is there some way to reduce the OTA allocation?
Here is a bigger dump for context
Specifically I get
