esp32c3 FN4 constantly rebooting

Postby e.voellm@mail.de » Wed Nov 16, 2022 9:32 pm

Dear ESP32 forum,
i have made a new design using the ESP32C3 FN4 with 4 MB Flash on chip hence i am not able to load code or bootloader into the chip as i see a constant rebooting after a very short random time like shown here (1), restart reason is sometimes printed as "rst:0x13 (GLITCH_RTC_RST)".
My hardware design is like this:
Selection_140.png
Selection_140.png (13.23 KiB) Viewed 1696 times
I have checked power pins 2,3,11,17,31 and 32 , and measure 3.34V with a minimum 3.2V with my digital oszilloscope. GPIO9 is hold down by the programmer, while EN pin is going low to force a hardware reset.
The design is connecting an I2C chip on the left side with SDA and SCL, and a CAN bus interface on the right side.
The same design works great with the ESP32C3 without flash connected with an external flash chip.
Even just connecting the serial monitor, the chip does not stop to reboot, so i don't get any foot into the door to download anything.
And idea what could be wrong?

Many thanks !

Found it!
The 15pF capacitor C6 connected from XTAL_P to GND did somehow not harmonize with the ESP32C3 and the crystal selected. Removed C6 and it booted stable. Coulds see this "invalid header" (1) at boot what means there is nothing flashed so far.
Then flashed it (2), and everything came up correctly.

Unclear why 15pF left and right didn't work with this crystal, according to the datasheet this should be possible.
https://datasheet.lcsc.com/lcsc/2103291 ... _C9010.pdf
Possibly a bit a long wire to this pad of the crystal had some capacitance too so it got to much. Optimized the layout for shorter wires now.
