Anybody managed to use LittleFS with Sparkfun ESP32 Thing?

Development Boards ESP32
1

Board generally works well and simple sketches compile, upload and run using Arduino IDE2.3.6

Upload LittleFS plugin appears to correctly setup filesystem and test data.

Using Board Manager library Sparkfun ESP32Thing - Sparkfun ESP32 Boards, any script that includes the line #include “LittleFS.h” fails to compile. File or folder not found error.

Using Board Manager library Sparkfun ESP32Thing -esp32, script compiles and uploads, but does not run.

Anyone had better success, or is this board not compatible with LittleFS?

Hi @Tel792 ,

The SparkFun ESP32 Boards package is years old and very out of date. We migrated to the Espressif Systems esp32 board package some time ago. Sorry about that.

Open up the Boards Manager, search for esp32, and install the latest esp32 by Espressif Systems.

Then, select Board \ ESP32 Arduino \ SparkFun ESP32 Thing from the list. You’ll need to scroll down the list to find it.

That should fix the LittleFS issue.

I hope this helps,
Paul

Thank you Paul that did indeed solve the issue. Interestingly I had the esp32 by Espressif installed as well, but this only worked when I removed the original Sparkfun package.

Thanks again.
