no other devices

Version

v2.0.16

IDE Name

PlatformIO

Operating System

Windows 11

Flash frequency

80

Description

Function crashes. Perhaps needs special handling like the H2 and C chips do in the main branch?

ESP.getFlashChipMode(); // Would crash in the new version at execution. For esp32s3 this would contain: uint32_t spi_ctrl = REG_READ(SPI_CTRL_REG(0)); To see, what SPI_CTRL_REG(0) returns in the new version:

Serial.printf("Incorrect return value = 0x%X\n", SPI_CTRL_REG(0)); This prints: "Incorrect return value = 0x8". esp32s3 cannot read from address 0x8.

SPI_CTRL_REG is defined as:

 #define SPI_CTRL_REG(i) (REG_SPI_BASE(i) + 0x8)

In the new version we have:

 #define REG_SPI_BASE(i) (((i)>=2) ? (DR_REG_SPI2_BASE + (i-2) * 0x1000) : (0))
   (at .....sdk/esp32s3/include/soc/esp32s3/include/soc/spi_reg.h: line 122)

before it was:

 #define REG_SPI_BASE(i) (DR_REG_SPI1_BASE + (((i)>1) ? (((i)* 0x1000) + 0x20000) : (((~(i)) & 1)* 0x1000 )))
   (at ...../sdk/esp32/include/soc/esp32/include/soc/spi_reg.h: line 19)

So, go back to the old version:

undef REG_SPI_BASE

define REG_SPI_BASE(i) (DR_REG_SPI1_BASE + (((i)>1) ? (((i) 0x1000) + 0x20000) : (((~(i)) & 1) 0x1000 )))

Serial.printf("Correct return value = 0x%X", SPI_CTRL_REG(0));

The NEWLY INTRODUCED FILE .....sdk/esp32s3/include/soc/esp32s3/include/soc/spi_reg.h contains at line 122:

 #define REG_SPI_BASE(i) (((i)>=2) ? (DR_REG_SPI2_BASE + (i-2) * 0x1000) : (0))
 For i == 0 result is 0!
 which delivers the wrong address in this case.

Same issue in master is fixed with https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/9758 BUT the real issue is still there in IDF in ALL versions.

[VojtechBartoska]

Hello, this have been fixed and is already released in version 3.0.1.

Link for the release: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/tag/3.0.1

For migration from v2.x to v3.x, you can refer to migration guide: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/migration_guides/2.x_to_3.0.html

I am closing this issue, if you have any problems we can reopen it.

@igrr Can you help here? The issue is in IDF. The definitions for REG_SPI_BASE(i) are wrong. In earlier version of IDF 4.4 it was not defined at all for the S3. There where PRs from @TD-er and me to correct this (https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/pull/12559 and https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/pull/12562) The suggested changes from the PRs are not committed. The where replaced by a different approach. At least for the S3 the are wrong and are applied in branch release/v4.4 and release/v5.1 (maybe in the other branches too, not checked)

[Jason2866]

@VojtechBartoska The issue is in branch release/v2.x and it is not solved there. Please reopen. In branch master it is not fixed at all. There is only a workaround for the function esp::getFlashChipMode All Arduino librarys which do need a correct set REG_SPI_BASE(i) are broken. Many Arduino graphic librarys do need this!

[me-no-dev]

@Jason2866 feel free to open a backport :) We do not guarantee that another 2.0.x will be released though. As you know, best case would be to be fixed in IDF. I have asked about it and I'm waiting a response.

[Jason2866]

@me-no-dev Lets hope the issue will be fixed in IDF!
