Building for ESP32 S3 Fails

[Type-32]

Full Output of Terminal on MacOS Sequoia 15.1 Dev Beta and logs as well

There is no display driver for ili9433. I will have to add it.

[Type-32]

I thought I was using DISPLAY=ili9341 ? I ran python3 make.py esp32 BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT DISPLAY=ili9341 INDEV=gt911 and it gives me the similar "failure with exit code from ninja."

Here's log for running that line of command idf_py_stdout_output_1155.log idf_py_stderr_output_1155.log the stderr output file log seems to have nothing in it.

[kdschlosser]

line 477 in the terminal.log file.

RuntimeError: Display not found "ili9433"

[Type-32]

apologies for that, that was my fault. that was the output for the command when I ran it the first time, which I corrected in the subsequent times running the command, eventually coming down to python3 make.py esp32 BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT DISPLAY=ili9341 INDEV=gt911.

Here's log for running that line of command idf_py_stdout_output_1155.log idf_py_stderr_output_1155.log the stderr output file log seems to have nothing in it.

The line of command basically did not work and I tried setting INDEV to xpt2046 as well but also didn't work and didn't find a firmware.bin or bootloader.bin in the output folders. By this point I'm pretty sure I'm looking somewhere wrong...

[kdschlosser]

lets start out from square one.

Run the build command adding > output.txt to the end of it and when it is done/fails then attach that file to a post here. That will help me the most in determining what is going on.

[Type-32]

output.txt

I hope this helps. I'm running the command with same board parameters from before

python3 make.py esp32 BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT DISPLAY=ili9341 INDEV=gt911 > output.txt

[kdschlosser]

do me a favor. in the build directory there is a file called manifest.py could you attach that file?? to do that you need to add a .txt onto the end of the file name.

[kdschlosser]

scratch that.

I found the problem and I fixed it.

[Type-32]

manifest.py.txt

(I'm still going to upload the file anyways) is the issue fixed? If it's fixed then I can close this issue :)

[kdschlosser]

it is fixed.

Hy, my Build for the S3 is also not working, i think the bin file is to small (2,40 MB (2.523.136 Bytes)). There is also a partion Warning in the log. I need the bin for this device. Maybe you can help. My Git clone is up to date

The build process ran smoothly. However, I am getting the same issues on the built firmware as @spienz . Flashing the firmware on to my board (using the command from the final output of the make.py command) and restarting & resetting the board doesn't switch it out of bootloader mode; it stays in the bootloader mode, so the built firmware is probably messed up or sth.

I'm not sure whether this is still related to this repo or not. My guess is it's probably something on micropython or lv_bindings library's side of stuff but I am not in a position to make this conjecture.

[kdschlosser]

after you flash it you need to press the reset button on the display. that will take it out of boot loader mode.

[Type-32]

I did press it after flashing it multiple times (with the given command at the end of the output from the make.py command). It just stays in bootloader mode (idk why). I also checked that the firmware is flashed on to the thing correctly.

for additional information I'm using the USB port instead of the UART port all along. Is that why or is it because of something else? Should I attach the firmware file here?

[kdschlosser]

if you are using the USB port then you need to add --usb-otg to the build command. This will enable the REPL output to the USB CDC on the ESP32.

[spienz]

Hy Reset button won't help, i can flash it with the esp windows tool. But i will get some error regarding the partion table How can i solve this

[kdschlosser]

your flash chip isn't the size that you passed in the build command, your chip size is 4mb. so you need to pass --flash-size=4 to the build program

[Type-32]

I think I encountered another issue that's also probably unrelated to this repo, but I'll still post it here -

>>> import lvgl as lv
>>> import ili9341
>>> import gt911
>>> lv.init()
>>> scr = lv.obj()
>>> btn = lv.button(scr)
>>> lv.screen_load(scr)

running these lines in the REPL after flashing it(flashing it is successful) just shows nothing. Not even a white screen. No changes on the screen.

Should I report it here or at the official lv_bindings_micropython repo?

---

Additional Info: I'm using ESP32-S3-Touch-LCD-4.3 from WaveShare as my hardware. Now I'm regretting buying it.

Also built another firmware without SPRIAM OCTAL option, flashed it, ran same commands, didn't work, same reaction

I also do not know what and how to develop it locally so I'm using the online lvgl + micropython simulator to write code for this.

[spienz]

ok, thats was a little bit stupid from my side. Works now. But i'm getting another error:

entry 0x403c989c E (422) quad_psram: PSRAM ID read error: 0x00ffffff, PSRAM chip not found or not supported, or wrong PSRAM line mode E (423) esp_psram: PSRAM enabled but initialization failed. Bailing out.

tried to play with BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT, BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM but wont help

my board should have 8mb PSRAM

any suggestions?

[kdschlosser]

I have that exact same display sitting right here in front of me.

this is the build command...

and this is the proper way to use the driver...

don't use the USB CDC port. use the other USB when flashing and connecting to the repl

Nope, this was my fist try without board variant

[kdschlosser]

did you try the build command I posted?

[kdschlosser]

I am compiling it now to test on my display to see if it is working.

[spienz]

Yes, almost same build command, flash Size 4. with 8 i become the Partition Table error https://www.elecrow.com/esp32-display-5-inch-hmi-display-rgb-tft-lcd-touch-screen-support-lvgl.html

[kdschlosser]

then the display you are referencing is not the same display. the display you are referencing has 8mb of flash. Maybe you got a bad display?

[kdschlosser]

OK, I see what is happening. You need to open your own issue instead of hijacking one that was not made by you. You are getting me all kinds of confused.

[spienz]

But from the same family, no problem, i open a seperate issue

[kdschlosser]

2 different discussions at this point. I am getting mixed up between the 2 people.

[Type-32]

I'm going to close this issue since the issue that the title suggests is fixed. I'm going to open a discussion because I need some help with setting up my board.

[Type-32]

I opened the discussion at #142 specifically for talking about setting up the 4.3 touch board.
