System information not reporting SPI ram info ESP32-S3

[ThinkTransit]

Hi,

Great software!

I noticed when using an ESP32-S3 32MB flash and 8MB RAM, the system information says SPIRAM available no, should that be yes?

Hi @ThinkTransit,
Ok I see, the term of spiram does not appear in the implementation.
I checked for your GENERIC_S3 type card and indeed, the configuration file does not directly include the use of SPIRAM so that must be why. I'm only doing this check for now...

Maybe you can use the following firmware to integrate the SPIRAM:

Ok that makes sense. Maybe it might be useful to add total memory to the system information, gc.mem_alloc() + gc.mem_free().

Just a suggestion.

Exact! However there is at the bottom left the gauge with these 2 informations but all the fonts seem to be unstaggered on your system :(

Agree I have the same issue. On an Unexpected Maker ProS3 I confirmed it has 8MB of RAM, the GUI says there is no SPI RAM (maybe because its used?) and other msgs are wrong too. But I understand its a new board.

On an official devkit s3-c1 (N8R8) it says "flash memory size 8MB" and SPI RAM available Yes. However when running a program I have about 62K of RAM only. I am running the correct and latest firmware for octal SPI.
