ESP32 Boot Loop (ESP-IDF)

[weller]

Succesfully setup the toolchain but every program I flash (including the 01_hello_world) results in a boot loop with the attached printout. Any ideas?

Code: Select all

What hardware setup, specifically which means of power supply are you using?

[weller]

From an UNO through the 3V3 pin which, according to spec, should provide up to 150mA. Is that not enough?

[ESP_Sprite]

Nope, not really. The ESP32 can sometimes pull 200mA continuous, with peaks to 500mA depending on WiFi. Normally, 300mA and good decoupling should get everything working; 500mA will do if you want to be on the safe side.
