so what if I want this library (not the examples) to be compatible with Arduino, Platformio, esp-idf while keeping the same codebase

I will try to load my own apps via your loader
hmmmm, good question
might be via the arduino component in IDF
I think that could work

@tobozo
Botofan Calin managed to load a huge set of apps https://github.com/botofancalin/M5Stack-MultiApp-Advanced and in an earlier version I could get the sd-updater to work with his app even though he's shrunk the spiffs to its mininum
actually the spiffs region only needs 380k free for the loader to work

@grooves38
yeah, I saw that as well, and tried it
looks also very nice, but the apps are all embedded, not loaded from SD
so you are limited by internal flash
your approach is better I think
tobozo
@tobozo
it should be in the ESP bootloader
like the gamebuino
grooves38
@grooves38
but sure, to load his app via your loader would be great as well
I see
but I guess EsspressIF woN#t support that
won't
tobozo
@tobozo
i've seen a modified esp8266sdk that does that
grooves38
@grooves38
their focus is to support dual images
from bootloader
to have OTA support
and they want to keep the bootloader generic, more or less
tobozo
@tobozo
i've found the most elegant approach is the one from the odroid-go

@grooves38
hey cool, chess works now as well

@tobozo
in the psram ^^
grooves38
@grooves38
yeah, but not every board has psram
most of them don't have
ok, guy, I have to go
tobozo
@tobozo
and not every board with psram has working psram poke @jsdungeon
I'm totally open to feedback/criticism/insults concerning this project

Hi all, how difficult would it be for me as a coding noob to create an app on the M5 which is recognizing a sudden fall and sends out an e-mail if not picked up after 2 minutes? Something like the apple watch 4 is doing now.
@tobozo - Too bad ... would be nice to use it on Mongoose-OS together with some bigger Flash. Who needs GB of data on an ESP32? And it's a pity it is always connected to the Arduino Framework ... :flushed:
No, storage flash. I use the ODROID-GO as my favorite prototyping device (don’t need much pins as I use mainly SPI and I2C with GPIO extenders and an interrupt pin), so it has 16MB flash - that would be enough for some nice scenarios, no SD-Card needed there ...
