Partition menu not showing esp32

amer_m · February 28, 2024, 9:26am

Hi,
Im having and issue uploading my sketch. - My sketch uses 150% so I found out that I could disable OTA to get more space.

The issue is: Under Tools i dont see partition option.
My board is DOIT ESP32DEVKIT V1

So I found a tutorial on youtube where I go to boards.txt and add a few lines

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.14

When I add this code

esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.default=Default
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.default.build.partitions=default
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.minimal=Minimal (2MB FLASH)
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.minimal.build.partitions=minimal
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota=No OTA (Large APP)
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota.build.partitions=no_ota
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.no_ota.upload.maximum_size=2097152
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs=Minimal SPIFFS (Large APPS with OTA)
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs.build.partitions=min_spiffs
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.min_spiffs.upload.maximum_size=1966080
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.fatflash=16M Fat
esp32doit-devkit-v1.menu.PartitionScheme.fatflash.build.partitions=ffat

When I save the boards.txt
Open again Arduino i still dont get the partition menu

Am I missing something or ?

I've downloaded Arduino IDE 1.8.16 Version and now partitions show up for DevKit board.

I have exactly the same issue and indeed with the old Arduino IDE it does work.

I found a work-around.

Close the arduino IDE

Edit with a text editor C:\Users<user name>\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\esp32\hardware\esp32\2.0.11\boards.txt

search for

below the last esp32doit-devkit-v1 entry, add this:

Now reopen the arduino IDE

In Tools, board, esp32, choose DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1 bis

Now I have the partitions menu option.
