Support for external, SPI-connected RAM

[dmrsim]

Hi all.

I have the following ESP model ESP32S3FN8 that doesn't contain any PSRAM.

In the menuconfig I enabled "Support for external, SPI-connected RAM" and with the following config:

Code: Select all

#
# SPI RAM config
#
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_MODE_QUAD is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_MODE_OCT=y
CONFIG_SPIRAM_TYPE_AUTO=y
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_TYPE_ESPPSRAM64 is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_SIZE=-1

#
# PSRAM Clock and CS IO for ESP32S3
#
CONFIG_DEFAULT_PSRAM_CLK_IO=30
CONFIG_DEFAULT_PSRAM_CS_IO=26
# end of PSRAM Clock and CS IO for ESP32S3

# CONFIG_SPIRAM_FETCH_INSTRUCTIONS is not set
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_RODATA is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPEED_80M=y
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPEED_40M is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM=y
CONFIG_SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT=y
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_IGNORE_NOTFOUND is not set
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MEMMAP is not set
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC=y
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_MEMTEST is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_MALLOC_ALWAYSINTERNAL=16384
# CONFIG_SPIRAM_TRY_ALLOCATE_WIFI_LWIP is not set
CONFIG_SPIRAM_MALLOC_RESERVE_INTERNAL=32768
# end of SPI RAM config

During the boot I get the following rows:

I (340) boot: Loaded app from partition at offset 0x10000
I (340) boot: Disabling RNG early entropy source...

I (422) spiram: SPI RAM mode: sram 80m
I (427) spiram: PSRAM initialized, cache is in normal (1-core) mode.

Please, could someone explain me what is "Found 256MBit SPI RAM device"?

Does it mean that my ESP has a SPI RAM of 32MB?

Thanks a lot,
BR,
Simeon

Hello, may I know which IDF version you're using?

[dmrsim]

Version: 4.4.2

Hi, would you upgrade to v4.4.5, the issue you described sounds similar to a bug that is fixed by this commit https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/co ... 26c990175d

I will upgrade to 4.4.5 and I let you know, thanks!
