pico-v3-02 & psram -> reboot

[digiforge]

Using pico-v3-02 MCU.
Installed DEV ESP32 Support into Arduino. When compiling without -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue
resulting code is bootig and executing. Debug/Display code shows no use/existance of PSRAM as expected.
Enabling RAM during compilation (-dboard_has_psram as above) results in boot-loop

Is there similar experience with -v3-02 and Arduino IDE ?

pico-v3 is not yet supported in arduino, and I would not expect to see it supported until after the release of the next major version. Development focus is on esp32-s2 at the moment.
The code to recognize pico-v3 should be in the idf-release/v4.2 branch, but ymmv.

Hi, Is there any progress on this?
I have a custom board with the latest (version 3) pico-v3-02 engineering sample chip.
When compiling with VSCode / platformio, enabling PSRAM by using the build option -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM results in a continuous reset.
Programs compile and execute OK without this option but obviously without access to the 2MB PSRAM.
This problem also exists in the Arduino IDE when PSRAM is enabled.
Is there another method of enabling PSRAM on this part? When might we expect development support for this variant?

Thanks

I'm interested in the same. Do we have any estimation when the pico-v3 might be available?
