Frustraded with partition table esp32C3

[Martin L. (tempusertempuser)]

Hello,

I tried to ceate a partition table for my esp32 with OTA support

I need a app size of at least 1441792 bytes and also a data (littlefs) 
partition.

can you help me with the partition table?

# Name,   Type, SubType,  Offset,   Size,      Flags
nvs,      data, nvs,      0x9000,   0x4000
otadata,  data, ota,      0xd000,   0x2000
phy_init, data, phy,      0xf000,   0x1000
factory,  app,  factory,  0x10000,  0x144000
ota_0,    app,  ota_0,    0x160000, 0x144000
ota_1,    app,  ota_1,    0x2A8000, 0x144000
nvs_key,  data, nvs_keys, 0x3EC000, 0x1000

error is

Partition ota_1 invalid: Offset 0x2a8000 is not aligned to 0x10000

according to the espressif forum i need

2 app partitions to perform OTA, either 2x OTA or OTA + factory.

how can i arrange this.

Thus, reducing the size of factory, ota_0, and ota_1 from 0x144000 to 
0x140000 ought to be a viable solution.

Okay i tried it with

# Name,   Type, SubType,  Offset,   Size,      Flags
nvs,      data, nvs,      0x9000,   0x4000          # Offset: 0x00009000
otadata,  data, ota,      0xd000,   0x2000          # Offset: 0x00000D000
phy_init, data, phy,      0xf000,   0x1000          # Offset: 0x00000F000
factory,  app,  factory,  0x10000,  0x140000        # Offset: 0x000010000
ota_0,    app,  ota_0,    0x140000, 0x140000        # Offset: 0x0000140000
ota_1,    app,  ota_1,    0x280000, 0x140000        # Offset: 0x0000280000
nvs_key,  data, nvs_keys, 0x3C0000, 0x1000          # Offset: 0x00003C0000

but get this error

Error at line 2: Invalid field value 0x4000          # Offset: 0x00009000

Kinda strange.

https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/partition-tables.html

One of the example tables there looks quite similar:

# ESP-IDF Partition Table
# Name,   Type, SubType, Offset,  Size, Flags
nvs,      data, nvs,     0x9000,  0x4000,
otadata,  data, ota,     0xd000,  0x2000,
phy_init, data, phy,     0xf000,  0x1000,
factory,  app,  factory, 0x10000,  1M,
ota_0,    app,  ota_0,   0x110000, 1M,
ota_1,    app,  ota_1,   0x210000, 1M,

Wait: maybe you are not allowed to add trailing comments? Try removing 
them.

[Jörg W. (dl8dtl) (Moderator)]

Ah, second observation: the example table has trailing commas, as there 
is a possible "flags" column following the size column.

Yes that was the issue solved
