"Custom" can't be found under "Tools > Partition Shmeme:" with ESP32 core 2.0.17 for "ESP32 Dev Module"

Development Tools IDE 2.x
1

I placed a partitions.csv file in the sketch folder to allocate a larger application area than the "Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS)" scheme.

With ESP32 core version 3.3.11, "Custom" appears in the Tools menu and compilation proceeds as expected, but this is not reflected in 2.0.17.

"Using a Custom Partition Scheme" outlines three methods; I tried the approach involving modifying boards.txt as described below, but it did not work.

  1. Close the Arduino IDE.

  2. Delete the User data folder (arduino-ide).

  3. Under ~/Library/Arduino15/packages/esp32/hardware/esp32/2.0.17:

    3.1. Put MyPartitions.csv under tools/partitions/.
    3.2. Add the following to boards.txt:

    esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino=MyPartitions
esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino=build.partition=MyPartitions  
esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino.upload.maximum_size=4128768

  4. Restart the IDE and select "ESP32 Dev Module" for the platform.

Considering the possibility that the IDE wasn't the cause, I also searched the espressif/arduino-esp32 issues, but I couldn't find a likely solution.

Does anyone know of a solution for this?

For reference, here is my environment:
macOS: Big Sur (11.7.11)
Arduino IDE: 2.3.4

Thanks.

There are errors here:

You used a = where a . should be.

You also used partition instead of partitions in the property name.

That caused the esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino property to be assigned the value build.partition=MyPartitions, when the intent was instead to define the esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino.build.partitions property with a value of MyPartitions.

Change that line to this:

esp32.menu.PartitionScheme.galagino.build.partitions=MyPartitions

Then try again. Hopefully everything will work as expected after that.

It was my oversight!
It worked perfectly.

Thank you.

You are welcome. I'm glad it is working now.
