Startup Failure: Check SD card inserted

[deanfourie1]

So, i've looked though all issues etc, I still cannot find a solution to this.

• I've selected the right board in the appglobals, as far as I can see,
• I've attempted formatting the SD in different formats etc.

Still, I cannot get past this error, "Startup Failure: Check SD card inserted".

Any ideas? My appGlobals.h is as follows.

// User's ESP32 cam board
#if defined(CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32)
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_WROVER_KIT 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP_EYE 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_PSRAM 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_V2_PSRAM 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_ESP32CAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_UNITCAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_TTGO_T_JOURNAL 
#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32_CAM_BOARD
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_TTGO_T_CAMERA_PLUS
//#define AUXILIARY

// User's ESP32S3 cam board
//#elif defined(CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32S3)
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_FREENOVE_ESP32S3_CAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_XIAO_ESP32S3 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_NEW_ESPS3_RE1_0
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_CAMS3_UNIT
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_EYE 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_CAM_LCD
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_DFRobot_FireBeetle2_ESP32S3
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_DFRobot_Romeo_ESP32S32
//#define AUXILIARY
#endif

Thanks

do you have a picture of the board?

[deanfourie1]

do you have a picture of the board?

Sure, is this one exactly.

[rjsachse]

you have the wrong board defined. try CAMERA_MODEL_AI_THINKER

[deanfourie1]

Sorry I think I actually copied the wrong config, I initially tested with AI Thinker board selected and I get the same result.

I tried with esp32cam board type as test and this must have been the config I pasted above.

I will test and confirm but I am 100% sure I am getting the same result with AI Thinker board selected.

so I just tried with the following and I still get the same error.

// User's ESP32 cam board
#if defined(CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32)

//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_V2_PSRAM 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_WIDE 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_ESP32CAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_M5STACK_UNITCAM
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_TTGO_T_JOURNAL 
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32_CAM_BOARD
//#define CAMERA_MODEL_TTGO_T_CAMERA_PLUS
//#define AUXILIARY

// User's ESP32S3 cam board

Also have cloned latest version and compiled using 3.0.5 esp32

[deanfourie1]

This is the SD I'm using.

[s60sc]

if that is a 256gb its not supported by esp. Max is 32gb

Ok now im getting this

I guess these are crappy fake boards.

It does state where I bought my board that it has a 4MB PSRAM

Also, this only happens when the SD Card is inserted. I am not using an 8GB SD card I found formatted in Fat32. With the SD Card removed,

the sd is checked first and passes with 8gb then checks psram and fails due to scam board
