flash size other than 512kb for standart esp8266 (esp-01) module

[gorec2005]

Please explain - how i can make new partitions for 8MB for standart esp8266 module

[Links2004]

the SDK not allow access over 4MB, if you add a 8MB chip you can only use the lower 4MB.
all needed files for 8MB and 16MB are there but disabled. thanks to the limitations from espressif.

But may be use boot loader from http://richard.burtons.org/2015/05/18/rboot-a-new-boot-loader-for-esp8266/ ?
it's "can use the full size of the SPI flash" ... "8MBit of flash can be memory mapped at a time (the SDK bootloader allows at most the first 2 x 8Mbit chunks to be used for roms, rBoot doesn’t have this limit, on a 32MBit flash you can have 4 x 8MBit roms)"

32MBit --> 4MB
same limitation that we already have? or do i miss some point.
