Hi @brianignacio5 Bro,
To keep align with the other SoCs, can I consider them simply like this:
"used_flash_non_ram": 259976,"used_diram": 54404,Basically for chips with separated D- and I-RAM spaces (like ESP32)
dram*andiram*fields in the json output will be set. For chips with single region for both D- and I-RAM,diram*fields will be set.In the former case we can display the used RAM as two bars:
In the latter case we can display the used RAM as a single bar, because both data and code size occupy the same total amount of RAM:
(or something along these lines)
Hi @brianignacio5 Bro,
Indeed, the NaN has gone, but the .bss & .data are always 0KB, could you double-check? I used the blink example project for testing.
