Might someone know how I can get more information when I compile like this?

I found something close enough. using "make size" does it.

For more granular information of this kind there is also "make size-components" and "make size-files". https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ke-targets

When using make size you get the following:
I'm just curious, why doesn't it show percentages for the others?

The "static DRAM" number is data+bss, as these both take up the same memory region. "static DRAM" is probably equivalent to the "DATA RAM" number in the screenshot you posted from another build system.

We don't give any % for flash-resident data because the tool which calculates sizes doesn't know what partition table is in use, so it doesn't know how much space is available for the app partition.

Maybe partition-awareness is something we could add in the future, but we also don't want to give the impression that this size is fixed (as the partition table can be edited to allow a bigger app).

Thank you for the great explanation. Maybe for a future use we could pass the flash size like 4MB 8MB and so on.
