[Solved] ESP32 - Building Micropython - Built Firmware crashes in loop

[chibill]

Hello,
I am trying to build micropython for my esp32 because I want to try and use ulab eventually. Firstly I decided to try and just build mircopython with out any edits. I can successfully compile and build it but once I flash it to my esp32 it just crashes repeatedly with no other output.

Crash log is below. Doesn't give much information. I have attached the built firmware.bin file and also a log of the build. (firmware.bin is a going to be a url to my personal server as you can't upload files here)

Code: Select all

Any help is appreciated .

The build log looks fine, only that I simply use 'make' instead of 'make all'. How do you flash the firmware. The recommended method is using 'make deploy', eventually specifying the port name with 'make PORT=<port name> deploy'. That uses the proper target address for the image.

[chibill]

I flash it using esptool like in the documentation for how to install the normal firmware.
I can't use the make deploy because I am building it using my linux server not on my windows laptop I use for everything else.

[Roberthh]

The firmware has to be flashed at offset 0x1000. Did you do that?

[chibill]

Yes. I can flash the pre-built micropython perfectly fine. Thinking I should start over on trying to compile. (Like delete it all and start over) and maybe go the docker route this time.

Might be something is not up to date or something.

[Roberthh]

I tried to flash the binary you supplied to a ESP32 device, and that fails too.

[chibill]

Later today I am going to start over fresh and try again.

[chibill]

Is there any information or instructions on how to use the docker image stuff for building? (I can't seem to find it in the docs)

As I want to try that today instead of reinstall the whole tool chain. (I think my esp-idf might have been the wrong version)

See this link and fine instruction provided by @jimmo: viewtopic.php?f=18&t=7138#p40636

Using the docket images seems to have got it working. Thanks!
