ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 loses CDC serial port when starting SPI

Postby mathijs » Mon May 15, 2023 7:04 pm

Hi,

I've created a custom board using an ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 which is connected to a Wiznet W6100 chip over SPI. The ESP32S3 is connected to USB over pins 13/14 (GPIO19/GPIO20). I can flash the chip without problems.

The W6100 in SPI mode is connected to the following pins:
18 (GPIO10): chip select
19 (GPIO11): MOSI
20 (GPIO12): SCLK
21 (GPIO13): MISO

Every time I try to connect to the SPI device, the ESP32S3 loses its serial connection. Rebooting in the bootloader restores the connection. Changing the pins to input / output manually gives the same result.

Simplest version which crashes right after
  1. Serial.println("Setting VSPI_SCK"):
  1. #include <Arduino.h>
  2. #include <SPI.h>
  3.  
  4. #define VSPI_SCK 19
  5. #define VSPI_MISO 21
  6. #define VSPI_MOSI 20
  7. #define VSPI_SS 18
  8.  
  9. void setup() {
  10.   Serial.begin(115200);
  11.   Serial.println("Starting");
  12.  
  13.   Serial.println("Setting VSPI_SS");
  14.   pinMode(VSPI_SS, OUTPUT); //HSPI SS
  15.   Serial.println("Setting VSPI_SCK");
  16.   delay(1000);
  17.   pinMode(VSPI_SCK, OUTPUT); //HSPI SS
  18.   Serial.println("Setting VSPI_MISO");
  19.   delay(1000);
  20.   pinMode(VSPI_MISO, INPUT); //HSPI SS
  21.   Serial.println("Setting SS");
  22.   delay(1000);
  23.   pinMode(VSPI_MISO, OUTPUT); //HSPI SS
  24.   Serial.println("Init ethernet");
  25. }
  26.  
  27. void loop() {}

Does anyone have a clue what could cause this?

pinMode and friends take the GPIO number, not the pin number. In other words, you're reconfiguring GPIO 19 and 20 and as such losing USB.
