ESP-IDF Sample GATT Client project

Chip used: ESP32 C3 Mini
SDK version V4.4

Ask Issue

Q: I am using the BLE bluedroid stack for BLE central application. The sample code for GATT client itself take 1.2MB of ROM . Unable to track where all the ROM get consumed in sample project only . So any information for storage consumption of BLE Stack & Library files will be helpful . In the further stage of project , I will also be adding Wifi & OTA part . Knowing the sample projects itself has consumed 1.2MB ROM .Is it feasible ?

I have also made a "Simple" app for the ESP32 with a Web Interface to change data and a BLE Interface to read it, and the size is almost 1.5 MB!

The library sizes really limit the applications that the ESP32 can be used for - certainly no real commercial applications.

Hi yshivam909

About ESP technical issue, you can raise an issue on ESP-IDF github, the link is as follows: https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues

you can try to enable the "Optimize for size (-Os)" option(menuconfig -> Compiler option -> Optimization Level -> Optimize for size (-Os)) to reduce the firmware size.
