PlatformIO with ESP32 Qualia S3 - RGB66 board. Flash Size

emre2blue · January 4, 2024, 12:08pm

Hello,

I’m very pleased that PlatformIO recognize AdaFruit ESP32 Qualia S3 - RGB66 board. And I’ve transferred my Arduino Coded project to VSCode/PlatformIO. But I had an error about Flash Size.
Before I’ve opened the menuconfig, It was set to 2MB. And it gives this warning.

Warning! Flash memory size mismatch detected. Expected 16MB, found 2MB!
Please select a proper value in your sdkconfig.defaults or via the menuconfig target!

I’ve upload the project without problem, and I could not get calloc functions to run. So I’ve changed the flash size to 16MB in menuconfig and warning disappeared. Did I do it right? Am I missing something ?

calloc() allocates from RAM or PSRAM (if configured), that is independent of Flash size (ROM).

A pure framework = arduino project does not have the menuconfig available. Are you using espidf or espidf, arduino as your framework?

Now, Last time I've used menuconfig. This time I only update the sdkconfig file by hand.

Build is ok. Upload has no error nor warnings. Board seems to run. Because I can get data from serial port wia "Printf" but here is the problem :

" alloc frame buffers failed " caused because Flash size or something else ?

emre2blue · January 17, 2024, 7:29am

I think I’ve solved the problem I’ve opened the menuconfig and adjusted the PSRAM size and options.

I wish those options are done with the PlatformIO at first place. Because when I select a board. I assume it was already configured all, and rest is only coding. But anyway, I’m happy now. I’ll start to code asap.
