Core2 Default Partitioning in Arduino IDE 1.X

[wsanders]

I notice that the default partitioning of the Core2 in the Arduino IDE 1.8.19 is "2 x 6.5 MB app, 3.6 MB SPIFFS".

Can someone point me to info about how to take advantage of a second app partition on the Core2, if possible?

Hello, @wsanders

The app0 and app1 partitions are used for firmware update with rollback in case of failure.

It is also used by the OTA function.
