But I presume there is some way to upload a filesystem containing existing files e,g for use with a web server.

I recall using this principal using the Linux VM programming environment, but I'm not sure if this file system is the same one.

Of course ! First, we prepare a binary spiffs.bin using the mkspiffs tool which grab all files under a specified directory. Then, we upload this spiffs.bin binary using conventional tool such as esptool at a specific address of the flash, depending of the flash size and firmare, example on a Generic ESP with 512K Flash, the offset address is 0x6B000.

Fancy meeting you here



I've just found that thread on mkspiffs etc viewtopic.php?f=32&t=4448

So I'll review it and give that a try

Thanks

Roger
