hi guys

make a full flash erase
windows tool : (erase),
esptool: erase_flash

and then flash it again with arduino ide or like you want.
do not forget to config in arduino the partion option.

i get this in the past if i come from esp-idf to arduino or arduino to esp-idf
if you use different settings in the menuconfig from each in the bin file
then this happens time to time -

also there can be a wrong setup in the spi clk also in the spi mode
or set a bit / old key data format ...
so - clean the flash and it should go on.

best wishes

Hi rudi thanks for the reply,

esptool.py erase_flash command does seem to correctly erase the flash, since it then starts showing:

Code: Select all

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
flash read err, 1000
ets_main.c 371 
ets Jun  8 2016 00:22:57
But uploading the minimal "Hello World" sketch keeps showing the same behavior as before:

I had the same problem. Try to set Flash Frequency to 80 MHz if you use Arduino IDE, or add parameter board_build.f_flash = 80000000L in platformio.ini if you use PlatformIO. It helped me.

Unfortunately that doesn't fix it. It seems that the 2 boards I received both happen to be faulty in some way, another board from the same vendor worked just fine.
It must have something to do with the way the EN/BOOT switches are hooked up because with the two faulty ones I do not have to press anything to program the flash and with the new board I just received (supposed to be the exact same PCB) I have to press BOOT and EN manually to enter the programming mode.

hi guys

try this:

de connect the board from usb
hold the bootloader key pressed
connect the board to usb
open the flash programmer
try to flash
after flash release the bootloader button

i have here a "hanging" CP2301 on a board
also there can be, that reset IC's not work right on several boards
i have more problems on windows machine with usb serial
on linux only there are little problems.

can you try with reconnect usb and hold bootloader button
that the board comes in first step to download mode by self on connect to usb?

best wishes
rudi ;-)

Hi guys,

I got fixed.

try this latest development release;

Arduino core for ESP32
https://github.com/espressif/arduino-es ... /1.0.3-rc3

------
I had same problem.
1. There is no problem on ESP-IDF.
2. I had this reboot problem only using Arduino IDE.
> rst:0x3 (SW_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)

Arduino core for ESP32
- At this point (2019/09/11), Latest Stable release version is v1.0.2
- We need v1.0.3 (Latest development release)

Now I got run Blink code on Arduino IDE.

Have a nice day!!

This worked! Thanks so much! Upgrading to the latest 1.0.3 version of arduino-esp32 worked.
Anyone know what the actual fix was? Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be so easy to update the arduino core version to 1.0.3 in PlatformIO for ESP32.

Hi, this is the reason and fixed by this issue.

https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/pull/3135
Add support for 160MHz rated CPUs:
Some ESP32 chips are rated only to 160MHz. This change adds support for them and does not allow frequency to be switched to 240MHz

And ESP32 chip Series data sheet says,

https://www.espressif.com/sites/default ... eet_en.pdf
Among the ESP32 series of SoCs, ESP32-D0WDQ6 and ESP32-D0WD have a maximum CPU frequency of 240 MHz, ESP32-D2WD and ESP32-S0WD have a maximum CPU frequency of 160 MHz.

So, maybe We have ESP32-D2WD or ESP32-S0WD.
These are new one, but down graded (I don't know about details...).

And now Arduino IDE has supported this as a stable version v1.0.3.

Did anyone try to follow the previous advice?
Did it solve the problem?

Just to be safe the message came here...

This actually helped me to solve the problem with continuous reboot.

In Arduino IDE: click Tools, Board, Board Manager.
After the dialog is loaded type ESP32 and look for:
esp32 by Espressif Systems ...
if it is installed
Press Update button (in my case to version 1.0.4)
if it is not installed, I can not see how you got here to find the continuous reboot problem.
But do not worry, just press Install button.

Try this before you go for 160MHz CPU frequency, 40MHz flash, DIO flash mode, PSRAM disabled etc.
not to mention the resistor and capacitor on EN input.

Hello,
im getting same message ("setcpufrequency cannot switch to 240 Mhz chip cpu rated for 160Mhz") on this new board that i just got.

am i not looking correctly at this ?
