 ### Basic Requirements
 
-- Flash chip size is 2x the size of the sketch.
+Flash chip size needs a size thats is able to hold the old sketch (currently running) and the new sketch (OTA) at the same time.
+keep in mind that the File system and EEPROM for example needs space too (one time) see [flash layout](https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob/master/doc/filesystem.md#flash-layout).
+```cpp
+ESP.getFreeSketchSpace();
+```
+can be used for checking the free space for the new sketch.

 The following chapters provide more details and specific methods of doing OTA.
