SPIFFS support

[tijnkooijmans]

Could you share the status of SPIFFS support? In migrating our ESP8266 projects to ESP32 this is the one thing that is currently holding us up. Looking forward to an eta update.

All the best,
Tijn

After I'm done with my current assignment, next is SPIFFS. FS is already implemented and SPIFFS will extend it the same way that SD and SD_MMC currently do, so you can maybe start from that and switch to SPIFFS when done.

Thanks for that fast response! I tried the SD library and it works well on my dev board, but unfortunately the production HW doesn't allow for an SD card.

I need SPIFFS to save config.

@bestpika Take a look at the Preferences library. I used it to save config info.

[bestpika]

@bbx10 Can the library save array?

Oh, I can save json string and use ArduinoJson to parse it.

Maybe this helps https://github.com/joysfera/esp-idf-spiffs

realy need the SPIFFS on the ESP32 :-( SD works but its no option because to much hardware

[copercini]

Maybe this help until the official one https://github.com/copercini/arduino-esp32-SPIFFS

@copercini captured your reference under projects

[lonerzzz]

@me-no-dev Is the SPIFFs work something that you are actively working? Do you need assistance, for development or testing or otherwise? I will try to capture the current state under projects if you have details.

@copercini Can you elaborate on the "Known Issue" regarding "It doesn't support file upload yet." Are you referring to the ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload tool not supporting ESP32 or something else? Are you working to resolve the issue?

Exactly!
I'm without my board now, but next week I will take a look on this =)

[copercini]

Looks like it’s just add another "if" for ESP32 here which parses partitions CSV

And recompile mkspiffs with ESP32 headers from here

But @me-no-dev started the official implementation, so it’s best wait he definitive solution.

If "official implementation is started" do you have one expected release date?
If I do start using Copercini branch I will have to change my code later?

Thanks!
