boot_comm: mismatch chip ID, expected 9, found 0 -- when ota louderesp32

[olivervhansen]

I'll admit I'm a little unsure of which device I have but it was a recent purchase so I believe rev J of the WROOM (that's what the chip says on the board).

I'm installing ESPHome from Home Assistant when I get this error. I can get the base install of ESPHome from web.esphome.io to install and even get it into Home Assistant after but when I try to update the config to https://github.com/sonocotta/esp32-audio-dock/blob/main/firmware/esphome/louder-esp32-media-player.yaml I get the error in the subject.

I've been trying lots of things but this is the latest config I'm using that fails. I'm guessing it's probably something simple. Searching this specific error gives me results about encryption so I've tried installing without it.

Hey @olivervhansen

Rev J is an ESP32-S3 board, this config is for the regular ESP32. Two things need to be changed: the board and the pinout. You can find pinout here and board should be esp32-s3-devkitc-1 afaik.

Pls give it a try, and I can add updated config to the repo

[olivervhansen]

Thanks @anabolyc ! Those were the pieces of information I didn't have. I had a config in HA that worked using that board but then it gave me errors about the pins and because I didn't know much about the pins I figured that file in the repo must be correct.

I added the encryption back in after one successful flash and this is what I currently have working. It loads but I don't have my speakers yet to test it fully.

One other question: is pcb_version supposed to be defined elsewhere? I added it to substitutions but initially thought it should be pulled in from something that detects the version.

pcb_version is completely optional. It is just a handy way to remind the board it was tested with.

[olivervhansen]

So this config works to flash the device but I'm not getting expected behavior in HA. If I manually turn on the "Enable Amp" switch under ESPHome it changes back to off. If I do it again it stays on for a while but then seems to automatically turn off. I can try to play media with it on or off and nothing happens. I've tried from Music Assistant and also just sending a TTS command from a local piper engine. I connected one passive speaker I had for testing to the left channel only and nothing.

[anabolyc]

Can you please enable DEBUG level of logging on the ESPHome and attach the logs from the louder boards when you switch the amp on

[olivervhansen]

Thanks for the suggestion! I wasn't sure how to enable debug but once I did I could see what was going on. My HA is on a different VLAN than the media players and this one hadn't yet been added to the list of devices that could initiate traffic to the HA. So HA could reach out to Louder-ESP32-S3 but Louder couldn't initiate a session or grab the audio file generated on the HA for the TTS.

Fixed that and now I've got sound coming out to my test speaker now so I think it's functioning properly now.

Oh, and I found out why my initial instructions were lacking the pinout for the S3 (which I still wouldn't have known was needed without your help). I was following https://www.tindie.com/products/sonocotta/louder-esp32/ instead of https://github.com/sonocotta/esp32-audio-dock/tree/main#louder-esp . They look very similar but the tindie page is missing some information.

[anabolyc]

Thanks for letting me know. I added S3 config to the repo to make it easier next time.
