CIRCUITPY drive on Swan only 114KB large?

Hello!

I have followed the instructions to flash Circuitpython on my Swan, which have worked pretty well. However, the CIRCUITPY drive is only 114 KB large. This is barely enough for some larger projects with the need for external libraries. Is this an error on my side or is the drive simply as small as that?

I wish you happy holidays and a happy new year!

Hi @EMKAH and welcome to the Blues Wireless community!

You’re correct that the current limitation is ~114 KB of free storage on the beta distribution of CircuitPython for Swan. We are working to increase that significantly in the next release (I don’t have a timeframe for you right now due to the holidays and folks being away, but stay tuned!).

Thanks,
Rob

Hi @EMKAH,

We have a new (beta) bootloader you can use that frees up ~1MB of space on the Swan for CircuitPython:

Would love to hear your feedback on this!

Thanks,
Rob
