Description
I've googled and search but I can't seem to find how specify the flash size of an ESP8285. The default is 1M but the DIYMORE ESP8285 board I have has 2M. I tried "board_upload.maximum_size = 2097152" but that doesn't appear to do anything.
Somewhat related, when I upload some code, I get the following: "Flash: [===== ] 50.3% (used 383057 bytes from 761840 bytes)". Where does 761840 come from? That's not 1M.

Research direction
Start by locating the ESP8285 board definition and the code or documentation that produces the flash-usage value 761840. Determine how a 2M flash size is specified and what that reported limit represents, then document the supported configuration and explanation in the appropriate PlatformIO documentation.
