How to Install SPIFFS uploader Plugin in an Arduino IDE

⏬ How to Install SPIFFS uploader Plugin in an Arduino IDE

➡️ This video tutorial is *(deprecated)*, Earlier It was designed for older, legacy versions of Arduino IDE's (1.8.X), 4 years ago. Now in 2023, The SPIFFS method is not compatible/supported with latest (2.X) IDE versions. SPIFFS with Arduino IDE technical support ended in 2022. Hence, For internal Flash partition usage, you should only use LittleFS or FatFS. Following video compares these two file systems to help you find the one that's right for you.

📷 About Video -

🚩 We’re starting new video series on DIY mini projects on IoT. ESP Chips i.e ESP8266 & ESP32 and the development boards build around them like e.g NodeMCU, Adafruit Feather Huzzah etc. are very popular in IoT applications.
🚩 So in previous videos we’ve seen basic concepts, topologies and facts used in Embedded Systems, Introduction about these chips and development boards and how to add/Install ESP8266 & ESP32 Dev Boards in an Arduino IDE in order to program them.
🚩 Now in this video we’ll see How to install SPIFFS uploader plugin in an Arduino IDE.
🚩 SPIFFS is a lightweight filesystem created for microcontrollers with a flash chip, which are connected by SPI bus, like the ESP32/ESP8266 flash memory.
🚩 In this video we’re going to show how to easily upload files to the ESP32 filesystem using a plugin for Arduino IDE.
🚩 SPIFFS lets you access the flash memory like you would do in a normal filesystem in your computer, but simpler and more limited. You can read, write, close, and delete files.

Thank you so much for this detailed explanation to install this needed fs-tools.

I try again and again and carefully follow the steps you showed, but still esp32 sketch upload does not work. Any ideas as to why? Also, I have last Arduino IDE version.

[tukangngoprek]

does it work on arduino IDE version 2.3.2?

WHATTO DO WITH THID ERROR/
SIFFS NOT SUPPORTED ON AVR ??
HELP ME PLEASE

[ninnaindriyanasantoso]

How if my flash size on arduino is OTA not spiffis?
