PUYA flash chip does not have SPIFFS available.

[renat2985]

It appears that the PUYA flash chip is being adopted by a growing number of manufacturers of the esp8266 modules. My most recent purchases of esp-12 modules from 3 separate suppliers have all had the PUYA chip on-board (for a total of 30 modules). The issue is that Arduino IDE x.xx sketches using any 8266 core can not currently write to SPIFFS on modules with this chip.

Any ideas?

Look this esp8266/Arduino#4061 (comment)

Take this file Esp.zip from @mrlightsman's post above. Replace it with the esp.cpp file in your arduino IDE program folder. I am using the portable version so it looks like this: C:\arduino-1.8.6\portable\packages\esp8266\hardware\esp8266\2.4.2\cores\esp8266\Esp.cpp. Just look for the 'packages' folder in your install directory and follow it down. Once the esp.cpp file is replaced, restart the IDE and flash your sketch using the "Tools -> Erase Flash -> All Flash Contents" option. After it's done flashing, go to "Tools -> ESP8266 Sketch Data Upload". This will upload all the files in the "data" subfolder of your sketch folder.

It works for me! Maybe you can create bin file with this fix for new releases...

I have the following problem, I was waiting for a correction for the PUYA problem for over a year. This week after resuming the project I upgraded to the core version 2.6.3 of ESP826, for my happiness ESP returned to save the information correctly in the flash using SPIFFS, but to my sadness this version caused some problem with the ESP connection, I fired a notification using the Pushover API. In core version 2.4.2 the shooting works very well, but in version 2.6.3 it is not working. Can anyone help?
