AI Thinker has no SPIFFS?

[djusHa]

Hi,

have this Board: http://www.ai-thinker.com/pro_view-24.html

please clarify, AI Thinker has no SPIFFS, right?

So i have to uncomment "#define NO_FS" in myconfig.h to get it run properly.

Is there any posibility save Setting to inserted SD Card?

Big thx!

Log, if "#define NO_FS" is commented (off):

The AI-THINKER has SPIFFS.

• All four ESP-CAM boards that I own (AI-THINKER) have working SPIFFS.
• Sorry; I'm guessing you have a defective board..
• ... or; you have the wrong board or partition scheme selected in the boards manager...
• ... or; you have a corrupted esp arduino core install.

The first thing to do is double-check the board selection and settings, and, if you know you have those correct, and you have the latest core, then it's almost certain your board is not up to spec.

How did you generate the hardware info dump?

• I'll happily run the same sketch/tool on my board so we can compare the results..

How did you generate the hardware info dump?

You have to use esptool with chip_id or flash_id switch:
esptool.exe --port COM4 chip_id

I'm guessing you have a defective board...

Yes, you right. Today it want start...

Esptool says:
WARNING: Failed to communicate with the flash chip, read/write operations will fail.

I think it can be closed
