SPIFFS on ESP8266 Thing - Dev Board

[gfvalvo]

Anyone know if the SparkFun ESP8266 Thing - Dev Board supports SPIFFS?
https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13711

This site says the ESP8266 Thing (non Dev Board) does:
https://github.com/esp8266/Arduino/blob ... esystem.md

But, when I try with my Dev Board, Arduino replies with:
" SPIFFS Not Defined for SparkFun ESP8266 Thing Dev, 80 MHz, 115200"

Are the Thing and Thing-Dev really that different?

Thanks.

For anyone coming across this post looking for a solution to the same problem, I wrote up a small story with solution on it here:

For record, this has been improved since the last post. In the Arduino IDE you can now choose a Flash Size with a portion of flash allocated to SPIFFS. no need to edit board definition files.
