esp-idf-size

In the field of IoT development, memory constraints are a common challenge, often requiring developers to optimize their application size. Whether it involves ensuring the firmware fits within available flash memory or analyzing impact of code changes on the final binary size, effective firmware size management is essential for resource efficiency. The esp-idf-size tool provides developers with the means to explore statically allocated RAM used by the final binary firmware image generated by ESP-IDF SDK for Espressif devices.

The esp-idf-size tool is included in the ESP-IDF and is installed automatically. It can be accessed using the idf.py command or the idf_size.py wrapper. The idf.py command provides access to the most commonly used esp-idf-size commands and automatically sets some options for user convenience, while the idf_size.py wrapper allows full access to all esp-idf-size features. For more information on using esp-idf-size in ESP-IDF, please refer to Minimizing Binary Size.

Starting from version 2.0.0, esp-idf-size uses the new generation (NG) implementation by default, providing improved performance and additional features compared to the legacy version.

Breaking Changes in v2.0.0:

  • The new generation functionality is now the default behavior
  • Legacy --ng flag and ESP_IDF_SIZE_NG environment variable are no longer needed
  • Output formats may differ from the legacy version (json vs json2)

Migration Guide:

  • Remove --ng flags from your commands - the new functionality is now default
  • Update any imports from esp_idf_size.ng to esp_idf_size
  • Review and update any scripts that parse the output format

For more detailed information about the available features and options, please refer to the documentation available here.
