Hi

This is the partition.csv from rainmaker examples/switch:

Code: partition.csv Select all


sec_cert,  0x3F, ,0xd000,    0x3000, ,  # Never mark this as an encrypted partition

nvs,      data, nvs,     0x10000,   0x6000,

otadata,  data, ota,     ,          0x2000

phy_init, data, phy,     ,          0x1000,

ota_0,    app,  ota_0,   0x20000,   1600K,

ota_1,    app,  ota_1,   ,          1600K,

fctry,    data, nvs,     0x340000,  0x6000

What is fctry for? If is reserved for rainmaker only, or can I use fctry with esp_err_tnvs_flash_init_partition?

Hello,

The nvs partition has information like Wi-Fi credentials, custom device names, and any other information you store using nvs calls. The fctry is also an nvs partition, but it is used for information like node id, private key and certificate required for cloud communication. You may consider it as a read-only partition which isn't erased during a factory reset operation.

Regards,
Piyush
