This is the Char. Somebody have any idea how can i save it to the ESP32 forever?

Use LittleFS perhaps ?

3

On an esp32 your const char will likely be in flash. What do you mean by forever

4

When i update the rootCACertificate. it change, but if a reset the esp32, return to the old one. I want to reset and keep up the new rootCACertificate

5

What is that?

6

Mr Google will tell you all about it if you ask him

7

how do you update a const ?
