Maybe you @sivar2311 can tell me what this is? I would be grateful.

framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.20009.0 (2.0.9)

First you should update your platformio version. Arduino core 2.0.9 is an ancient version.

Also try erase flash please and report back.

board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1-n16r8v

Ermm... that's not the file I provide in this repo!

This is the latest version, I think)

The latest version is not very old, but I updated it on your advice. Actually, you are right, I had two different files Added a file with the name to the settings After flashing, I got a cyclic reboot with multiple information output to the port monitor, regarding the new espressif kernel. Returned it to how it was

platform = espressif32 ; platform_packages = platformio/framework-arduinoespressif32@^3.20017.0

The version has become

framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.20009.0 (2.0.9)

With your file it complains about the core ...

Please show your platformio.ini. Otherwise the only thing I can do for you is guessing :/

Try a simple clean project first:

platformio.ini

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8]
platform = espressif32 @ 6.8.1
board = esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

main.cpp

#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    Serial.println("Hello World");
}

void loop() {}

[sivar2311]

Why is your upload port different to the monitor port???

My project is quite complex, it is drawing graphics on the display using the library TFT_eSPI. Simple things like BLINK work. I output such projects

https://wokwi.com/projects/375745332267555841

or

https://wokwi.com/projects/374062283976666113

The code simulator is slow, that's why the graphics are so slow🙂 There is no graphics output with the latest version of expressif. That's why I stay on

framework-arduinoespressif32 @ 3.20009.0 (2.0.9)

To get rid of the error in the port monitor

E (104) esp_core_dump_flash: Core dump data check failed:
Calculated checksum='6a7cd56d'
Image checksum='ffffffff'

Removed two lines related to the core.

"extra_flags": [
  "-DARDUINO_ESP32S3_DEV",
  "-DARDUINO_RUNNING_CORE=1",
  "-DARDUINO_EVENT_RUNNING_CORE=1",
  "-DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM"
],

Why is your upload port different to the monitor port???

I flash via USB, and output the port monitor to a USB-TTL adapter on a RX/TX ESP32.

[sivar2311]

Wait... you're using a simulated ESP32-S3 on wokwi, not a physical ESP32-S3? But you set serial port settings in platformio.ini and remove things from the board.json file???

Then there is still the thing with the display.... I asked you to use a very basic project (see above).

In order to be able to help you, we have to build on the smallest common ground. This is an ESP32-S3-Devkit-C1 N16R8 - no more and no less!

[sivar2311]

@brightproject Are you still there?

I have a physical board.

I've tried a few experiments now.

[env:esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8] ; platform = espressif32 @ 5.3.0 platform = espressif32 @ 6.6.0 board = esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8 framework = arduino monitor_speed = 115200 monitor_port = COM6 upload_speed = 921600 upload_port = COM22 monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder

lib_deps = bodmer/TFT_e SPI@^2.5.43

If version 5.3.0 Processing esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8 (platform: espressif32 @ 5.3.0; board: esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8; framework: arduino) then the output example with a display connected via SPI is 1363 msec. And if you update to version 6.6.0 Processing esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8 (platform: espressif32 @ 6.6.0; board: esp32-s3-devkitc1-n16r8; framework: arduino) then the output will be 842 msec.

Sorry, I don't understand how I can help you.

Firstly it was about an esp_core_dump_flash error - which seems to be fixed now.

Now it is about the speed and version conflicts of the TFT_eSPI library.

This is no longer related to the files offered here. For TFT_eSPI related questions, please open an issue at bodmer/TFT_eSPI

Don't be offended, the information here is more for other developers, if someone has problems. Yes, you helped me resolve the issues regarding esp32-s3-n16-r8. Thank you and have a good evening.

[sivar2311]

@brightproject I don't understand your intentions. Even the various cross-links you generate make no sense.

[sivar2311]

@brightproject Maybe you should use the official esp32-s3-devkitc-1.json and just modify what's needed to make the N16R8 work.

See the settings for the N16R8 in my other repo ESP32-S3-PlatformIO-Flash-and-PSRAM-configurations
