esp32s3 boards with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U can't boot into nsh?

[chirping78]

Got two esp32-s3-devkitc-1 boards recently. One is mounted with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8, Another is mounted with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8.

After install these tool:

curl -s -L "https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG/releases/download/esp-12.2.0_20230208/xtensa-esp32s3-elf-12.2.0_20230208-x86_64-linux-gnu.tar.xz" | tar -C xtensa-esp32s3-elf-gcc --strip-components 1 -xJ

pip3 install esptool==4.8.dev4

And use these commands to build and flash:

./tools/configure.sh -E esp32s3-devkit:nsh
make -j8

make flash ESPTOOL_PORT=/dev/ttyUSB0

One (with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8) can boot into nsh:

So the question is: is the 1U module supported? If it's supported, what changes are needed for it?

@tmedicci any idea?

We will look, thanks for reporting.

Thank you @eren-terzioglu

Hi!

We could not find any issues regarding the software. It's probably related to some hardware configuration.

Please:

1. Ensure that you provide proper power to the module ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N8R8;
2. Ensure that the external antenna is properly attached (because this could generate power issues and noise);
3. Please, use openocd + gdb to properly check where it is failing;
4. Enable, for the working configuration, the following configs and run nxdiag --all (and share the results, please):

   CONFIG_SYSTEM_NXDIAG=y
   CONFIG_SYSTEM_NXDIAG_COMP_FLAGS=y
   CONFIG_SYSTEM_NXDIAG_CONF=y
   CONFIG_SYSTEM_NXDIAG_ESPRESSIF=y
   CONFIG_SYSTEM_NXDIAG_HOST_PATH=y

As we didn't get any answer, I'm closing. Please reopen if needed.
