Availability PR 8381 (RomFs filesystem on esp8266) #16689
-
|
PR 8381 is about dynamically frozen .mpy files, which use less RAM than ordinary .mpy files. The currently last remark in this PR is that the PR "is enabled on all esp8266 board variants". I've noticed that the (currently) most recent preview build for an ESP8266, named ESP8266_GENERIC-20250203-v1.25.0-preview.245.g990f50fbb.bin, does not include support for VfsMap described in the aforementioned PR. Will this PR be included in a (soon to be released) preview build for v1.25.0? |

Hi @wnelis, While a PR is still open the changes are not integrated to the MicroPython "master" branch. The only way to use these changes is to use git to check out that exact PR branch and build the code manually. So currently no nightly build will include this change. After the PR merged is, the next nightly build will include the change. This feature is still planned for inclusion in the v1.25.0 release. Subscribing to the PR is the best way to be notified about when the changes become available. |

PR 8381 is not yet integrated in the master branch, but the 'precursor' PR #16857 is integrated last week. A quote from it's description: "This PR adds support for ROMFS on stm32, rp2, esp32 and esp8266.". However using a nightly build, named "ESP8266_GENERIC-20250313-v1.25.0-preview.383.gd5aeca2e8.bin", mpremote version 1.25.0rc0.post383+gd5aeca2e8 reports that "ROMFS is not enabled on this device". What am I missing? |
