CONFIG_FS_LITTLEFS_FC_HEAP_SIZE

Enable flexible file cache sizes for littlefs

Type: int

Help

littlefs requires a per-file buffer to cache data.

When applications customize littlefs configurations and support
different cache sizes for different partitions this preallocation is
inadequate as an application might require a small number of files
using a large cache size and a larger number of files using a
smaller cache size.  In that case application should provide a
positive value for the heap size.  Be aware that there is a
per-allocation overhead that affects how much usable space is
present in the heap.

If this option is set to a non-positive value the heap is sized to
support up to FS_LITTLE_FS_NUM_FILES blocks of
FS_LITTLEFS_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
