I’ running out of program memory. (‘APP_FLASH’ overflowed) on my photon I’m I right to understand that the user application is limited to 128k? What can I do to increase this limit without having to change my code? Is working in modular mode instead of with 3 firmware (part1, part2 and user part)…

BTW, I have a total of over 350 + 128. Around 475-500 kb of flash available. But I have fews issues right now. You’re right @ScruffR the OTA flashing return this error if I try to use the feature again: Flash device failed [object Object] I also have new very strange bugs that I didnt had before…

Is it possible to play with INTERNAL_FLASH_SIZE without breaking anything?

Paging @mdma , perhaps he can shed some light on what is going on. I would imagine that with monolithic firmware there aren’t any “gaps” between system parts 1, 2, and the user firmware which is where you are getting your “extra” memory back from.

Yes exactly. I’m using the unused space of part1 and part2. I understand that the dev want to keep free space for development but 128k for big projects is not a lot of memory. I need more!

I realized that even if I’m not using OTA, I’m using OTA functions to program the device from the softAP so it look like it’s a big issue and there is too much information missing to continue using the mono firmware. How can I take part1 and part2 extra space to increase the 128k of the user applic…

[image] 128K is not enough! Firmware In a nutshell, if you never plan to update your product over the air and are prepared to always update your application and system firmware via USB, then you can build an application that is 384K in size. Note that this isn’t a supporte…

I’ve been reading on this all evening: const module_bounds_t module_bootloader = { 0x4000, 0x8000000, 0x8004000, MODULE_FUNCTION_BOOTLOADER, 0, MODULE_STORE_MAIN }; const module_bounds_t module_system_part1 = { 0x40000, 0x8020000, 0x8060000, MODULE_FUNCTION_SYSTEM_PART, 1, MODULE_STORE_MAIN }; cons…

I really need more than 128k of user memory. I understand why it’s done this way but when you first look at the specs of the chip, it says 1mb so you think that you’re good but when you realize that’s only 128kb, its really bad. I think the best solution for me would be to not use the 256k reserved…

[image] Suprazz: I think the best solution for me would be to not use the 256k reserved for ota and put that on the external memory instead. If there only was such thing on the Photon :wink:

Why not. I have an external memory.

More user application memory needed
