Hi Michael,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>
<div>It was to be expected that we would eventually run out of flash storage. That’s why I would immediately question whether we should detach ourselves from components that aren’t really being used. We could even start a survey or something like that.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For example, the RE tools — the idea behind them is great, but without documentation they’re not easy to use, and every time I tried to work with them, it just resulted in crashes.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Then there’s the question of who actually uses Telnet, SSH, the Duktape framework, the DBC parser, OBD2ECU, or CANopen (yes, the Twizy integration is the only one that uses it). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>All great ideas, but in the end, how many users really make use of them?</div>
<div>The fewer active components we have to maintain, the ‘easier’ it would also be to port the code to a more current ESP-IDF version — and that would bring significant benefits such as improved networking features, including firewall capabilities and a much
more stable switching between LTE and Wi-Fi. I’ve looked at llanges attempts and it’s extremely tough.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an example, in my own custom firmware builds, I don’t enable the components (and of course not all vehicles, so not 100 percent representative) mentioned above. This requires small modifications in the code because, for example, the ESP logger is missing
but referenced in another file, etc. But my firmware file is only about 2.8 MB.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Just my 2 cents</div>
<div>Carsten</div>
<div><br>
</div>

Everyone, <br>
<br>
with the latest vehicle additions, the firmware size has now grown to 4,015,328 bytes in build 3.3.005-485-gc4664881.
<br>
<br>
Our flash partitioning scheme is currently designed to provide three firmware partitions (factory, ota_0 & ota_1) of 4MB = 4,194,304 bytes each.
<br>
<br>
So we've now got 178,976 bytes = ~4% left. <br>
<br>
Options beyond the 4 MB limit: <br>
<br>
a) split features, e.g. vehicle support, into two or more builds <br>
<br>
b) repartition into two firmware partitions of 6 MB each, reusing the factory partition for OTA
<br>
<br>
c) switch to an ESP32 WROOM module with 32 MB flash (possible?) <br>
<br>
We've got some time left, new vehicles normally don't need that much space, I just wanted to raise awareness.
<br>
<br>
Regards, <br>
Michael <br>
