ESP32-S3 N32R8V reboot loop

Lateralleap commented 7 months ago

The problem

There is an ongoing issue the the Espressif ESP32-S3 DevKitC 1 N32R8V board entering a reboot loop after configuration download or reset

I have tried all the YAML configurations I can find documented for the N16R8 and N8R8 board variants

This behaviour is exhibited under both Arduino and Esp-idf platforms

This issue is documented in this issue but i has been marked as stale

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2024.2.1

What type of installation are you using?

Home Assistant Add-on

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

2024.2.4

What platform are you using?

ESP32

Board

Espressif ESP32-S3 DevKitC-1 N32R8V

Component causing the issue

N/A

Example YAML snippet

No response

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

Please see this issue: https://github.com/esphome/issues/issues/4149

Please also see this post by the PlatformIO community regaarding a solution to this reboot issue. Unfortunately the ESPHome build options don't seem to enable recreating this solution for ESPHome: https://community.platformio.org/t/esp32-s3-devkitc-1-n32r8v-configuration-assistance/31967

Same here, I can only get

ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327 Build:Mar 27 2021 rst:0xc (RTC_SW_CPU_RST),boot:0xb (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT) Saved PC:0x40377474 SPIWP:0xee Octal Flash Mode Enabled For OPI Flash, Use Default Flash Boot Mode mode:SLOW_RD, clock div:1 load:0x3fce3808,len:0x43c load:0x403c9700,len:0xbec load:0x403cc700,len:0x2a3c entry 0x403c98d8

No matter what minimalistic config. I can flash tasmota esp32s3-firmware version and it works so the hardware is good. It did work with ESPHome a few times but failed to work with voice assistant examples reported to work. After a third attempt it's no longer possible to get ANY ESPHome on it.

You can set arbitrary platformio settings in the esphome: section. https://esphome.io/components/esphome#esphome-platformio-options

Lateralleap commented 7 months ago

Thanks both. Hopefully this issue will get picked up and support for this device added to ESPHome. Espressif ESP32-S3 DevKitC 1 N8R8 works fine

ssieb commented 7 months ago

Did you try setting the options as indicated? I'm pretty sure the device is supported. But we can't have specific options for every board. You need to set options for your specific board as needed.

Lateralleap commented 7 months ago

I understand that but surely these Espressif boards are mainstream?

I have read conflicting reports of the settings that might work outside of ESPHone. I will try a few and let you know

Thanks

@ssieb Thank-you :-)

These settings seemed to work at least for 16MB of the flash and at least the device comes online and OTA works

esphome:
  name: n32r8v-test
  friendly_name: N32R8V Test
  platformio_options:
    board_build.partitions: default_16MB.csv
    build_flags: 
        -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM 
        -DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1
        -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue
    board_build.arduino.memory_type: opi_opi

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  framework:
    type: arduino
  flash_size: 16MB

I will give it a more thorough test in the coming days

Thanks again :-)

ssieb commented 7 months ago

I think the only one you need is the memory type. Maybe the cache one, but I don't know what that one is for. The PSRAM and CDC are handled automatically by esphome according to the config.

Lateralleap commented 7 months ago

OK, I will try taking the others out

Lateralleap commented 7 months ago

You are correct

These settings also appear to work and with full flash size:

esphome:
  name: n32r8v-test
  friendly_name: N32R8V Test
  platformio_options:
    board_build.arduino.memory_type: opi_opi

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  framework:
    type: arduino
  flash_size: 32MB

SeByDocKy commented 6 months ago

Is the platformio_options: board_build.arduino.memory_type: opi_opi required with ESP-IDF ?

No without this arduino related option, it's not working for ESP-IDF

cowboyrushforth commented 6 months ago

Regarding ESP-IDF, I had to experiment quite a bit to get it work for the 32MB version, hopefully this helps @SeByDocKy

esphome:
  name: esp32s3devkit1
  friendly_name: esp32s3devkit1
  platformio_options:
    board_build.flash_mode: dio
    board_build.arduino.memory_type: opi_opi

    build_flags: 
      -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM 
      -DARDUINO_USB_CDC_ON_BOOT=1
      -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  variant: esp32s3
  flash_size: 32MB
  partitions: "/config/esphome/32mb.csv"
  framework:

SeByDocKy commented 6 months ago

Thx ... where do you find the 32mb.csv file ?

cowboyrushforth commented 6 months ago

@SeByDocKy

this is the one i used: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/tools/partitions/large_littlefs_32MB.csv

there is others in that folder, too
