I have a NodeMCU ESP8266 ESP-12E and I tried uploading a file thru the SPIFFS. I am not sure why I see OTA instead of the SPIFFS?

No SPIFFS Only OTA

Is there a configuration that I missed?

  • instructables.com/Using-ESP8266-SPIFFS/?amp_page=true not sure but check this . It may not help Commented Oct 29, 2020 at 5:39
  • maximum application size is less then 1 MB. so there is no other use for the rest of the flash then FS. for board you selected there is no predefined partitioning without OTA. what is your question? Commented Oct 29, 2020 at 6:42
  • In this link cdn.instructables.com/ORIG/FST/OP12/IZT6TEBJ/… it is showing SPIFFS but in my Arduino IDE it is showing OTA? Why is this so? That is my question Commented Oct 29, 2020 at 8:36

SPIFFS (SPI Flash File System) is also know as FS(File system) . so What you are seeing as FS is basically SPIFFS .The OTA partition on esp8266 is compulsory so you cant get rid of it .

Hope this helps
