Error 'platformio/toolchain-esp32ulp @ ~1.22851.0' on 'linux_aarch64'

I am trying to build yeelight_light_ceiling10.yaml on my raspberry pi3 with the ESPHome Homeassistant addon, but am getting the following error:

INFO Reading configuration /config/esphome/yeelight-crystal-pendent.yaml...
INFO Generating C++ source...
INFO Compiling app...
Processing yeelight-light-ceiling10 (board: esp32doit-devkit-v1; framework: espidf; platform: platformio/espressif32 @ 3.5.0)

Error: Could not find the package with 'platformio/toolchain-esp32ulp @ ~1.22851.0' requirements for your system 'linux_aarch64'

My steps

I want to build the binary on the raspberry and then flash it to the yeelight device per ESPHome Web. So i open the ESPHome Addon, click New Device > Install > Manual Download > Modern Format and get the above error.
The Raspberry is running Home Assistant OS and everything is up-to-date. I am pretty new to the ESPHome stuff, so i hope it is ok to ask for help here.

The toolchain isn't Raspberry Pi 3 (aarch64) compatible at the moment. Unfortunately you will have to use another machine to compile & flash the yaml. I try to provide a list of steps to pave your way:

1. Pick another machine (Linux if possible, Windows if there is no other way)
2. Install python3
3. Install ESPHome using the python package manage: pip3 install esphome
4. Execute esphome at a terminal and build + flash the yaml: esphome run yeelight_light_ceiling10.yaml

Thank you for the prompt reply 🙂
Oh...so it is not compatible with the chip architecture, ok. I don't have access to a linux machine, but i will try to build it inside a linux docker image on a Windows machine. Or use a VM if that doesn't work

Windows will be fine too: https://esphome.io/guides/installing_esphome.html#windows

I build it with WSL2 with esphome compile yeelight_light_ceiling10.yaml and my secret.yaml. Because WSL did not recognize my CP2102N device, i had to flash the ./.esphome/build/yeelight-light-ceiling10/.pioenvs/yeelight-light-ceiling10/firmware.bin with ESPHome Web. I put the board back into the lamp and connected the power cord, but the lamp does not light up or appear in my WiFi, as a Hotspot or as a Bluetooth device.
Is there something else i am missing?

It sounds like the ESP32 is unable to connect to your WiFi. You should attach the USB-to-serial adapter again to look into the logs (esphome logs yeelight_light_ceiling10.yaml).

Logs are spammed with

[15:05:36]rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
[15:05:36]flash read err, 1000
[15:05:36]ets_main.c 371

[syssi]

Please flash the firmware again. Something went wrong last time. If this doesn't help try erase_flash via esptool.py.

[syssi]

Could you try to get the CP2102N recognized? I don't trust the ESPHome Web thing.

[syssi]

Another idea: Please make sure the Pins of the ESP32 and the use test pins are clean. I assume the flash read err can happen if EN is pulled to GND.

[Weasy666]

🤦‍♂️ i am an idiot! you need to flash firmware-factory.bin and NOT firmware.bin!

Sorry for that! And thank you very much for your help 🙂

You are welcome!
