ESP-Wrover-Kit and ADS1220

[jano2358]

hi!

I have an ADS1220 connected to the spi bus of the Wrover kit, wired as follows:

Code: Select all

ADS1220   || Wrover-Kit
CLK        >      CLK 
MISO       >      SD0
MOSI       >      SD1
CS         >      CMD
DRDY       >      IO16

The problem is when If I load any program to the board and the spi is connected, the board won't boot, I tried to disconnect the power from the ADS, connect a strong (1k) pull up to CS pin with and without disconnecting the CS from the Wrover and no success. It will only boot if the CLK and MISO are disconnected, I can connect them later, but not a the boot time. I was unable to test yet if I can communicate with the ADS.
If I connect the MISO and CLK and try to boot I get this messages on the serial port:
rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x3e (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
flash read err, 1000
ets_main.c 371

If I disconnect CLK, then I get:
rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x3e (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
mode:DIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fff0018,len:4
load:0x3fff001c,len:952
load:0xffffffff,len:-1

If I connect CLK and disconnect MISO:
rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x3e (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
mode:DIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fff0018,len:4
load:0x3fff001c,len:952
load:0x40078000,len:6084
load:0x40080000,len:7936
csum err:0x93!=0xd7
ets_main.c 371

in any case the digital power of the ADS matters.
Any Idea of what can be the cause of this?

Also if I attach an oscilloscope on SCK I can measure some 40MHz activity at the boot time, what is happening there?

The CLK, SDx, etc lines you connected your ADS1220 to are used to connect the ESP32 to its flash chip, where the code is stored. (See e.g. the datasheet of the ESP-Wrover for the connections.) Suggest you use different pins; at the moment there's no software support for using the flash pins for anything but flash.
