2.6.0 platform does not install mklittlefs package

CODeRUS commented 4 years ago

Hello!

Just switched to 2.6.0 to test new littlefs functionality, but buildfs fails

pio run --target buildfs -e nodemcu                                                                        :(

Any way to install tool-mklittlefs manually?

valeros commented 4 years ago

Hi @CODeRUS ! Please run pio system info in the IDE terminal and attach here the output.

CODeRUS commented 4 years ago

weird

pio system info                                                                                            :(

valeros commented 4 years ago

OK, what is your OS, architecture?

CODeRUS commented 4 years ago

ubuntu 20.04 pio was installed with vscode, long time ago, i think...

pio --version                                                                                              :(

Please run uname -a in the terminal. Also, do you see the folder tool-mklittlefs in /home/YOUR_USER/.platformio/packages? Are there any files in this folder?

valeros commented 4 years ago

Could you please try to run pio run --target uploadfs -e nodemcu ?

CODeRUS commented 4 years ago

after uplaodfs mklittlefs tool was installed, thanks!

I have a question, I am able to upload my data correctly but want to confirm that it is using LittleFS and not SPIFFS.

I see in packages it shows tool-mkspiffs 2.230.0 (2.30) is that fine for littleFS or is there a "tool-mklittlefs" package I need to install?

It also says Building SPIFFS image from 'data' directory to .pio\build\tinypico\spiffs.bin which has me questioning if I am doing this correct.

valeros commented 3 years ago

@johnsmakar You can run the upload command in verbose mode to see what tools are used. Here is some docs describing how to select the filesystem.

johnsmakar commented 3 years ago

I have board_build.filesystem = littlefs in my .ini but I have a feeling it's not doing anything because when I make a typo on purpose it does not complain.

valeros commented 3 years ago

@johnsmakar It seems that you're using ESP32-based hardware, but writing in the ESP8266 repository. Anyway, the ESP32 platform doesn't support littleFS at the moment.

johnsmakar commented 3 years ago

Ah, my apologies. I am slightly confused on what filesystem my TinyPICO is running then, because I am using the ESP32 LittleFS filesystem plugin to upload my FS image to the board.

And I saw this and assumed it was supported: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6YZlLfKfw&list=LL&index=3&t=1112s
