xtensa-esp32s3-elf-g++: not found

[cvjensen]

I've just bought a ESP32S3 board. It's the red one here:

But whenever I try to build the firmware in ESPHome I receive the following error:

sh: 1: xtensa-esp32s3-elf-g++: not found

The full log is here:

========================== [FAILED] Took 5.38 seconds ==========================

And my ESPHome config here:

esp32:
  board: esp32-s3-devkitc-1
  framework:
    type: arduino
    version: 2.0.5
    platform_version: 5.2.0
  variant: esp32s3

I have tried with alot of different framework settings but no luck at all.

I'm sorry if this is not the right place to ask/create an issue - If I google the error I only get very very few results, so I'm a little lost. Bare with me I'm still new to all this ESP stuff If any information is missing/needed, just ask.

Your board config does not fit to your board HARDWARE: ESP32S3 240MHz, 320KB RAM, 8MB Flash Which flash and PSRAM type does the board have? QIO / OPI? Which combination?

Start with a simple Platformio Example sketch NOT EspHome!!

Where can I see that? All I know is that it is the ESP32-S3 N16R8 from this link

Where do I get started ?

[Jason2866]

If the wroom module is mounted you have marked it is: 8 MB Octal PSRAM, 16 MB Quad SPI Flash. You have to specify this settings in your env Use this example https://github.com/platformio/platform-espressif32/tree/develop/examples/arduino-blink

[Jason2866]

Probably this will work

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc-1]
platform = espressif32
framework = arduino
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1
monitor_speed = 115200
board_build.partitions = default_16MB.csv
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L
board_build.arduino.memory_type = qio_opi
board_build.flash_freq = 80m
board_upload.flash_size = 16MB
board_build.flash_mode = dio
board_build.boot = qio
board_build.flash_type = qio
board_build.psram_type = opi
board_build.memory_type = qio_opi
board_build.boot_freq = 80m

[Jason2866]

Afaik it is not easy (impossible?) in Home Assistant to use a other platform version as the supported one. So thats why i wrote use a plain simple Platformio example. If the example works you have to ask for help in the HA community.

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc-1]
platform = espressif32
framework = arduino
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1

board_build.partitions = default_16MB.csv
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L
board_build.arduino.memory_type = qio_opi
board_build.flash_freq = 80m
board_upload.flash_size = 16MB
board_build.flash_mode = dio
board_build.boot = qio
board_build.flash_type = qio
board_build.psram_type = opi
board_build.memory_type = qio_opi
board_build.boot_freq = 80m

Where should I specify this?

Can I test this using my ESPHome docker container? It has the platformio installed.

I'm just wondering why is fails to build the firmware , I'm not trying to upload it directly to the device in ESPHome

I've just tried to build it and download it. So it shouldn't know whether or not its the right board I've specified?

[Jason2866]

I do not use or know Home Assistant. So i cant answer your questions. Anyways this is the wrong place to ask and it is NOT a issue with Platformio. The board config will work when your board has the specs. Try it with the Platformio example i have linked.

[cvjensen]

Alright @Jason2866 , thanks for the help so far. I will give it a shot with the config you sent and then try to ask the esphome guys.
