WiFi Lora 32 board and ESP-IDF

[Alnitak]

Has anyone got the Heltec WiFi Lora 32 board working with ESP-IDF?

Mine appears to successfully flash, but when I run "make monitor" I get output like this:

Code: Select all

No matter what baud rate I set for the monitor I get garbage appearing.

Thanks.

is on point; your board probably has a 26MH crystal but your project is configured for a 40MHz one. Run make menuconfig and go to components -> esp32-specifc -> main xtal frequency to change this.

Thanks - that was it. I'd found the flash speed setting for 26 MHz, but not the main crystal setting!

Yes! Work! Thanks! This is the problems! Lora working 26Mhz

Hello, I have just started with ESP32 and tried to run esp-idf gatt-server example on Heltek board. I configured everthing as described in idf tutorials, successfully built in eclipse and flashed to device. The monitor shows:

Code: Select all

...
I (613) GATTS_DEMO: REGISTER_APP_EVT, status 0, app_id 0
I (623) GATTS_DEMO: CREATE_SERVICE_EVT, status 0,  service_handle 40

I (663) GATTS_DEMO: ADD_DESCR_EVT, status 0, attr_handle 47, service_handle 44

And thats all, no BLE scanned by nRF Connect. I checked "esp_ble_gap_ "functions return values and they are all 0. But It seems that bluetooth hardware does not work. Please help.

Could you specify what branch you are on? I could test with the Heltec board I have.

Could you run make menuconfig and change Component config->Log output to debug or verbose?

Thank you for advice,
I think the problem was in wrong setup so I took clean sdkconfig file and configured serial port and it started to work.

Did someone manage to compile this for the Heltec boards ?

Even having changed this setting in menuconf:

CONFIG_ESP32_XTAL_FREQ_40=
CONFIG_ESP32_XTAL_FREQ_26=y
CONFIG_ESP32_XTAL_FREQ_AUTO=
CONFIG_ESP32_XTAL_FREQ=26

I still see the same error in the console log:
[0;33mW (64) rtc_clk_init: Possibly invalid CONFIG_ESP32_XTAL_FREQ setting (40MHz). Detected 26 MHz.
