Note (1): Some units might actually have 8GB, because thats what is used when the supply of 4GB ICs is short. Node (2): SIN-H3 has 4GB Flash and 1GB RAM, and can on request be extended to 8GB Flash and 2GB RAM; but we didn't do that for Ekrano GX production. See also the public GX Product overview page.
Flash size & partitioning
- the CCGX has compressed ubifs.
- the filesystem size not always uses the full partion. See /opt/victronenergy/swupdate/resize2fs.sh, and the relating commit for details.
Venus GX - first partition layout (small rootfs-es, small data and a scratch)

v2.11
Victron Energy
Venus GX - new style partitioning (larger rootfs & data, and smaller scratch; introduced per installer version v2.17. Which went into production per ECN181008FHE03, that replaced v2.11 installer files with v2.18, serial number HQ1842xxxxx. Currently shipping Venus GXes are newer; so have the larger partitioning.)
Note that Venus OS v2.70 (released in june 2021) will (at boot) check the partition style, and if it sees the old partitioning, it will update it to the newer one. Without loosing any data, except for the /scratch partition: thats gone. More discussion about that here: https://community.victronenergy.com/questions/92793/venus-v271-on-older-venus-gx.html
