NVS Table Editor

The NVS Table Editor helps create a binary file based on key-value pairs provided in a CSV file. The resulting binary file is compatible with the NVS architecture as defined in ESP-IDF Non Volatile Storage. The expected CSV format is:

key,type,encoding,value      <-- column header (must be the first line)
namespace_name,namespace,,   <-- First entry must be of type "namespace"
key1,data,u8,1
key2,file,string,/path/to/file

Note

This is based on ESP-IDF NVS Partition Generator Utility.

Steps

  1. Right-click on a project in the Project Explorer.

  2. Click on the ESP-IDF > NVS Table Editor menu option:

  5. Generate the partition binary (choose Encrypt to encrypt the binary, and disable the Generate Key option to use your own key if desired). You will see an information message at the top of the dialog about the result of the generated binaries. Hover over the message if it’s too long to read fully:
