esp32c6 not de facto supported by ESP-Hosted-NG #412

Abstract

I followed the instructions to flash the ESP-Hosted-NG binary on my ESP32-c6 and I was unable to flash due to a chip support error.

Details

I have an ESP32-C6 dev kit (link to the exact product I bought). I'm following the ESP-Hosted-NG software setup guide (link here). I am on step 1.2 specifically on the sub-step "Run the flashing command from flashing_cmd.txt file." I unpacked the .tgz file from release 1.0.2 and navigated to ESP-Hosted-NG-release_1.0.2/ and noticed that only "esp32" and "esp32c3" subdirectories existed. However, on the ESP-Hosted-NG landing page in section 1.2 it says that ESP32-C6 is supported.. So, I assumed that I could use the "esp32" directory.

I then navigated to the "sdio_only" sub directory. I used the following flashing command per the instructions.

esptool.py -p /dev/ttyACM1 -b 115200 --before default_reset --after hard_reset --chip esp32 write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size detect --flash_freq 40m 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin 0xd000 ota_data_initial.bin 0x10000 network_adapter.bin

And I get this error

A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-C6 not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?

So I changed the --chip argument to --chip esp32-c6" and I also tried--chip esp32c6" and both result in this error.

A fatal error occurred: bootloader.bin is not an ESP32-C6 image. Use --force to flash anyway.

Should I force to flash or am I doing something wrong here? Why isn't there a directory for esp32c6?

Thanks!

no no, Actually, you cannot flash ESP32 binaries to ESP32-C6. For ESP32-C6 , we suggest:

  1. Use master code at both host and slave. Ignore 1.0.2 and use latest master, as multiple fixes are gone in master. Current master: b1422af

  2. Build and flash esp32-c6 from sources using https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted/blob/master/esp_hosted_ng/esp/esp_driver/README.md Please note, any local changes would be reverted in this procedure.
