Custom SPI Pin Configuration support for ESP32-S3 (ESPTOOL-733) #916

Closed alanmosely closed 1 year ago

Is your feature request related to a problem?

I would like to be able to save data directly to an external flash on a custom PCB with an ESP32-S3 as part of my production line

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like support for Custom SPI Pin Configuration in esptool.py for ESP32-S3 devices, I am trying to target SPI2. I would like the following command to work: esptool.py --chip esp32s3 write_flash --spi-connection 19,20,9,35,47 0x0 storage.bin

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried to run the command above but it complains the pins are above 31

Additional context

Is this something I could contribute myself if it is not planned?

Hello @alanmosely, thank you for the feature request!

this feature is currently implemented only on the classic ESP32.

We will look into the possibility of expanding this to other chips.

Thank you, is this something you plan on doing soon? Is it something that I could help to build? If no to both, how would you advise addressing my issue of needing to flash an external chip as part of my production line?

This is currently not planned to be done in this quarter. We will re-evaluate the priority of this task and see if this can be done during the next quarter.

Is it something that I could help to build?

You can definitely try helping build that, PRs are more than welcome!
