Finding Partitions Example

This example demonstrates how to use the partition API functions esp_partition_find and esp_partition_find_first to search the device partition table. These functions return the matching partitions given a set of constraints. By constraints we simply mean properties that returned results should match - notably partition type, subtype and label/name. In the case of esp_partition_find_first, the first matching instance is returned; for esp_partition_find, an iterator is returned iterating over matching instances.

Example Flow

The example uses a custom partition table. The first part uses esp_partition_find_first to search for partition instances using two constraints - type and subtype. However, the partition table contains partitions with same type/subtype combination. In order to differentiate these partitions, a third constraint - the label, is specified.

The second part shows how to iterate over partitions that match certain constraints, manually checking the properties of each iterated partition. The iterator is obtained using esp_partition_find and is released after its use to avoid memory leaks.
