WLAN interface creation problem

I have a custom conference badge that's got an ESP32-S2 chip on it that's running MicroPython v1.16-236-gb51e7e9d0. When I try creating the WiFi interface using the command
Code: Select all
wlan = network.WLAN(network.STA_IF)
I get the error
Code: Select all
RuntimeError: Wifi Unknown Error 0x0101
I've googled for that error, as well as just 0x0101, and can't find anything. I've also been trying to search the source code for 0x0101 and can't find anything there, either.
What does that error mean? How do I get past it?

I am encountering the same issue after I moved the nvs partition to another physical location. Is there any resolution?

Try a full flash erase and reload the firmware.

I tried a full flash erase. Same error:

Do you see anything in the init that might cause a problem?
Thanks!

I also encountered this issue on an ESP32-WROVER-IE based product. The 0x101 issue is "out of memory". Internal memory, that is. I had to run idf.py menuconfig and re-arrange how memory was being used. I eliminated ALL bluetooth functionality, since our product doesn't use it. I also allowed stacks to be placed in external memory. These actions freed up enough internal memory to allow the WiFi initialization to complete successfully. Espressif's documentation is essentially crap. You have to figure these things out on your own.

Oh and don't forget to get the MP heap pointer fix.

That is quite an old version. I would try the latest daily build.
