looks like only “VisualGDB 5.3 Preview 6” is available at http://visualgdb.com/download/, not “VisualGDB 5.3 Preview 5”. Is there any problem with using Preview 6 with the latest esp 2.1 toolchain downloaded from http://gnutoolchains.com/esp32/?

Thanks! I was able to get something that seems to work.

It seems I had to make a custom partition type in the range 0x40-0xFE. Otherwise, if I make it general NVS data, the WiFi will try to store wifi configuration data in that space. (I was using your WiFi server example/tutorial as the starting point for the project).  The subtype then has to be O (instead of nvs) or the gen_esp32part.py doesn’t like it.

I left the other partitions alone so hopefully the WiFi portion will continue to work, correctly. (It seems to be working so far).

# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
factory, app, factory, 0x010000, 1M,
rfdata, data, phy, 0x110000, 0x40000,
wifidata, data, nvs, 0x150000, 0x40000,

--------------- App Partitions-----------
--- App Partition 1 ---
pPartition->type 0
pPartition->subtype 0
pPartition->address 0x00010000
pPartition->size 0x00100000
pPartition->label factory
pPartition->encrypt 0
--------------- Data Partitions-----------
--- Data Partition 1 ---
pPartition->type 1
pPartition->subtype 2
pPartition->address 0x00150000
pPartition->size 0x00040000
pPartition->label wifidata
pPartition->encrypt 0

--- Data Partition 2 ---
pPartition->type 1
pPartition->subtype 1
pPartition->address 0x00110000
pPartition->size 0x00040000
pPartition->label rfdata
pPartition->encrypt 0

So, my new partition.csv table looked something like this

# Name, Type, SubType, Offset, Size, Flags
# Note: if you change the phy_init or app partition offset, make sure to change the offset in Kconfig.projbuild
factory, app, factory, 0x010000, 1M,
rfdata, data, phy, 0x110000, 0x40000,
wifidata, data, nvs, 0x150000, 0x40000,
my_data, 0x40, 0, 0x190000, 0x10000
