ESP32, Arduino, Efuse, External Flash, SHA 256 error

PlatformIO IDE

Hi,

I have used the espefuse.py tool to burn the efuses to the internal flash on the esp32 to the GPIOs:

(CLK) CLK - 14

(Q) D0 - 12

(D) D1 - 13

(CS0) CS - 5

I have then uploaded the blink sketch and it can run from these GPIOs to the external flash.

However when uploading more complicated sketches I get the error:

I have my partitions table in the platformini file set to default 16MB, same as the external chip being W25Q 16MB.

Any idea on why it can’t read from this external chip for neural network applications but can for a simple blink sketch?

Many thanks,

Thomas

So, have you decoded the backtrace? This tells you where it crashes. Just add

build_type = debug
monitor_filters = esp32_exception_decoder

(docs, docs) to the platformio.ini, and do a “Upload & Monitor”. After the crash there should now be extra info.

Hi,

Decoding the back trace reveals:

Not sure what this means I should change? Ive altered the hal-spi.c to the correct GPIOs.

Thank you!

Clicking on the particular elements reveals:

//RTC pins PULL settings
if(rtc_reg) {
    //lock rtc
    ESP_REG(rtc_reg) = ESP_REG(rtc_reg) & ~(rtc_gpio_desc[pin].mux);
    if(mode & PULLUP) {
        ESP_REG(rtc_reg) = (ESP_REG(rtc_reg) | rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pullup) & ~(rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pulldown);
    } else if(mode & PULLDOWN) {
        ESP_REG(rtc_reg) = (ESP_REG(rtc_reg) | rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pulldown) & ~(rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pullup);
    } else {
        ESP_REG(rtc_reg) = ESP_REG(rtc_reg) & ~(rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pullup | rtc_gpio_desc[pin].pulldown);
    }
    //unlock rtc
}

Will look into it
