I need an array of 224KB but you can only get around 160KB contiguous memory on ESP32. If I could split the array in 2 regions, then I can get the 224KB I need, but I have lots of code (including external libraries I don't control) that expect that memory block to be an array that must be contiguous...

to close the loop, it's a change from the manufacturer, I think i'ts an unfortunate change, but it is what it is.

The led is connected to TP4054 CHRG pin. With no battery connected, maybe it is doing the "charge complete / AC present" indicator of 20uA pull down. Are you seeing a bright flash or very dim? Also there is another led on IO5, could that be the one you're seeing? Thanks for the reply. I'm seeing a ...

I have some older versions of this board: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QDFP3W they work fine. I bought some new ones, from 2 sources, and the red power LED keeps flashing at high speed when powered through USB. I think it's probably complaining about the lipo plugged into the port, except th...

Turns out I had to print 8bit memory, I forgot about that. Heap/32-bit Memory Available: 139756 bytes total, 82808 bytes largest free block 8-bit/DMA Memory Available : 56804 bytes total, 43520 bytes largest free block Malloc LEDMatrix Failed. Bytes requested: 49152 So, this explains that. Sad that ...

printf("Heap/32-bit Memory Available: %6d bytes total, %6d bytes largest free block\n", heap_caps_get_free_size(0), heap_caps_get_largest_free_block(0)); uint32_t mallocsize = m_absMWidth * m_absBWidth * m_absMHeight * m_absBHeight * sizeof(CRGB); p_LED = (struct CRGB *) malloc(mallocsize); if (! p...

Here is the shirt I was able to build with it: http://marc.merlins.org/perso/arduino/post_2019-04-08_Clubbing_-EDM-Festival-and-Burning-Man-LED-Pants-and-Shirt-v4-on-ESP32-with-RGBPanels-and-SmartMatrix_GFX.html http://marc.merlins.org/blogimg/thumb1024_520_20190408_LED_Pants_and_Shirt_v4_on_ESP32_w...

Thanks for confirming, it seems that esp32dev is the best option then, especially now that I added a bunch of partitioning mappings in master, including ffat partitioning options I use

I spent quite a bit of time hacking on my new party shirt (since last year), which is now based on higher density RGB Panels, which however are totally different technology compared to my previous NeoMatrix shirt. I ended up writing SmartMatrix::GFX, a glue driver to allow all my previous code to wo...

I was pointed to https://github.com/lbernstone/IR32 and was able to use it.
It has some small unreliabilities I'm still working with, but overall it works.
