How do you set up a new board ESP32-S3 N16R8

1

Hi, I’m new to this, I have just read a topic about the new esp32-s3 n16r8 board and it is not clear to me how this is done. ie add the board to PlatformIO what to put in the platformio.ini file.
Also what is ‘xtensa-esp32s3-elf-g++’ is not recognized as an internal or external command,
Is there any more information that’s available so I can try this board?
(Have used the Doit ESP32 on PlatformIO with no problems)
Hope some one can help.

many thanks

I’m trying to figure this out too. I asked Espressif if they support Platform IO for their boards, and they said no. Which makes me wonder if PIO is the right path.

Did you figure this out?

Take a look at this:
https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/platforms/creating_board.html

None of these threads had the right config for you? Two of them are marked as solved…

Just managed to get it to work, found esp32-s3-devkitc-1 - n16r8v.json file on github and copied it to the ,platformio/platforms/expressif32/boards folder. and created a new Project in Platformio and used that board.

platformio.ini:
[env:esp32-s3-devkitc-1 - n16r8v]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1 - n16r8v
framework = arduino
monitor_speed = 115200

lib_deps = FASTLED

main.cpp:

#include <Arduino.h>
#include <FastLED.h>

#define NUM_LEDS 1
#define DATA_PIN 48
int i=0;

CRGB leds[NUM_LEDS];

void setup() {
FastLED.addLeds<SK6812, DATA_PIN, GRB>(leds, NUM_LEDS);
Serial.begin(115200);
}

void loop() {
if (i != 4){

for (i=0; i<4; i++){

  leds[0] = CRGB::Red;
  FastLED.show();
  Serial.println("RED LED is ON");
  delay(500);
  leds[0] = CRGB::Green;
  FastLED.show();
  Serial.println("GREEN LED is ON");
  delay(500);
  leds[0] = CRGB::Blue;
  FastLED.show();
  Serial.println("BLUE LED is ON");
  delay(500);
  leds[0] = CRGB::Black;
  FastLED.show();
  Serial.println("LED's are OFF");
  delay(1500);
}

}
}

Here’s the link I found.

This is from the Espressif’s web site. PlatformIO - ESP32 - — ESP-IDF Programming Guide latest documentation . I posted in their forums questions with platformio/espidf projects.

Hi, Long time but I have changed the Board .json file and have this result…
