Can’t build for ESP32S3 - KeyError: 'toolchain-xtensa-esp32'

[marcosp32]

From: https://community.platformio.org/t/cant-build-for-esp32s3/28090

I am having issues compiling for a new esp module ESP32-WROOM-1U.

I can build just fine using idf.py build

I am using esp-idf.

This is the output:

Hi @marcosp32 ! ESP-IDF v4.4 is not supported yet and hence S3-based boards cannot be used with this framework.

[martinberlin]

Hi @valeros Any idea if it's supported already? I'm hitting this same error today 5 months afterwards.

[Jason2866]

@martinberlin Compiling for S3 works without any issues.

[martinberlin]

Can you please point me to a platformio.ini file where an ESP32 S3 board is setup along with esp-idf framework? Thanks a lot. I've lost a lot of time yesterday and could not make it work yet

[Jason2866]

@martinberlin This examples are working https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/tree/Tasmota/205x/examples/espidf-arduino-blink https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/tree/Tasmota/205x/examples/espidf-blink You may have to change the Gpio for the Led

CI Build https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif32/actions/runs/3543518424

[martinberlin]

Ok great will try those. When I try like it's on the Platformio examples, get the same as @marcosp32

KeyError: 'toolchain-xtensa-esp32':
  File "/home/martin/.platformio/penv/lib/python3.8/site-packages/platformio/builder/main.py", line 188:

I would like to understand how to fix that too!

[Jason2866]

@martinberlin Which python version do you have installed? python --version nvm just saw 3.8. Try this, delete the hidden folder .platformio Platformio will rebuild. And do a pio upgrade. What version do you have platformio --version EDIT: I use nowhere a python version < 3.9 Maybe?

[martinberlin]

Thanks Jason. Here it goes:

• Python 3.8.10
• PlatformIO 6.1.5 is currently the newest version available (pio upgrade)

Some more details

Thanks a lot for trying to help me. Other things like building esp32-arduino stuff goes fine. This happens only when trying to build espidf using esp32s3. If I build with any other environments it works correctly, so there has to be something with this board / MCU configuration. Just pushed the platformio.ini file: https://github.com/martinberlin/IT8951-esp32-epub-reader/blob/main/platformio.ini

Generating assembly for certificate bundle...

There was an issue with this Certificate Bundle thing? I'm kind of sure it's this! UPDATE: No it's not that there was something with the root certificate but it was in esp-idf 4.3

[Jason2866]

Ahh, you are the ePub guy :-) Now I know why this one looked somehow familiar to me Tbh, i am out of ideas at the moment. Try my fork, i changed a lot under the hood (using released IDF 4.4.3, toolchain patch5 and some others changes...)

Have you transplanted the Lillygo ePaper display to an S3 ?

[Jason2866]

I will clone the repo (tomorrow) and try to compile the env variant which fails. EDIT: Offtopic. I have seen you did an LVGL implementation for ePaper. We implememted LVGL in Tasmota too but for the ePaper display our universal display driver is not ready...

[martinberlin]

I will try your take also. I’m using something similar to M5 but with a PCB that is sold by Goodisplay (called DEXA-C097) my own PCB is based on S3 and it’s just a very basic SPI master with RTC and 5V booster. Just for fun trying to make a 9.7 inch EPub reader. Thanks a lot for trying to help will try more also until I find what it is, is just that the error, does not give much hints

UPDATE: With platform = https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/releases/download/v.2.0.5/platform-espressif32-v.2.0.5.zip I can go further. Thanks a lot!

[Jason2866]

The board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1 does not have PSRAM. S3 Flash / Psram with type QIO / OPI has to be 100% correct, if not device will not boot or bootloop. Whats the flash size and type and PSRAM size and type of your board? With this let`s define a custom boards json. It is easy with platformio :-) But this is not the reason for compile fail. Thats the next step of fun with the S3...

[martinberlin]

Thanks a lot @Jason2866 The Schematics of my S3 board are here With this I can already go forward. Created an Issue there in my fork so you can track my advance since I have the feeling we are communicating over here and it's starting to be Offtopic for the nice Platformio people.

[Jason2866]

Solution: The problem was a faulty Pio setup.
