esp32_camera causing bootloops

illuzn commented 1 month ago

The problem

Enabling esp32_camera causes a bootloop as follows:

[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Task watchdog got triggered. The following tasks did not reset the watchdog in time:
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt:  - loopTask (CPU 1)
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Tasks currently running:
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: CPU 0: IDLE
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: CPU 1: IDLE
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Aborting.

It may be that I have configured the pins incorrectly however, a boot loop should still not arise in this situation.

Which version of ESPHome has the issue?

2024.7.2

What type of installation are you using?

Docker

Which version of Home Assistant has the issue?

Not Applicable

What platform are you using?

ESP32

Board

esp32s3box

Component causing the issue

esp32_camera

Example YAML snippet

esphome:
  name: doorbell

esp32:
  board: esp32s3box
  variant: esp32s3
  flash_size: 16MB
  framework:
# There are build issues with esp32_camera and esp-idf as at July 2024. This is above my paygrade; use arduino for now.
    type: arduino

psram:
  mode: octal
  speed: 80MHz

# T-SIMCAM Setup
esp32_camera:
  external_clock:
    pin: GPIO14
    frequency: 20MHz
  i2c_pins:
    sda: GPIO4
    scl: GPIO5
  data_pins: [GPIO11, GPIO9, GPIO8, GPIO10, GPIO12, GPIO17, GPIO16, GPIO15]
  vsync_pin: GPIO6
  href_pin: GPIO7
  pixel_clock_pin: GPIO13
  name: Camera
  resolution: SVGA

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Task watchdog got triggered. The following tasks did not reset the watchdog in time:
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt:  - loopTask (CPU 1)
[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Tasks currently running:

[01:46:07]E (10219) task_wdt: Aborting.

Additional information

There appears to be a seperate issue with esp32_camera which causes a complete device lockup when using esp-idf

In case it's useful to anyone, I have this issue too, but with the arduino framework as well as the esp-idf framework, and on the ai-thinker esp32cam (from az-delivery)

Did you double check that you are not using the PSRAM pin (see the esphome docs)?
