List of omitted functions on low-flash devices

Is there a comprehensive list of functions and functionality that is omitted on low-flash devices? This is documented throughout the API (things like the getFree function in the Storage module), but I was hoping there might be a definite list somewhere.

As you say http://www.espruino.com/Reference generally lists every function and where it is available so you can work it out from there.

What do you mean by 'low flash devices' though?

There is no pre-made list as every device is different, but if you're willing to check out the Espruino repository you can do BOARD=YOUR_BOARD_ID make docs and it'll make a reference file of everything that is available for that board and nothing more

I'll try make docs with and without the SAVE_ON_FLASH flag.

By 'low flash devices', I was referred to these notes in the online API documentation:
Note: This is not available in devices with low flash memory

Yes - this mainly only refers to the BBC micro:bit 1. Every official board is unaffected

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
