Can't burn efuses on ESP32C3

Postby SensorNetOrg » Sat Nov 20, 2021 3:15 am

I bought a ESP32C3 chip without any internal flash.

I connected the ESP32C3 chip to external flash so that I can store program data on the external flash.

However, the ESP32C3 can't detect the external flash

Code: Select all

esptool.py flash_id

esptool.py v3.2-dev
Found 2 serial ports
Serial port /dev/ttyUSB1
Connecting....
Detecting chip type... ESP32-C3
Chip is ESP32-C3 (revision 3)
Features: Wi-Fi
Crystal is 40MHz
MAC: 7c:df:a1:b0:68:2c
Uploading stub...
Running stub...
Stub running...
Manufacturer: 00
Device: 0000
Detected flash size: Unknown
Hard resetting via RTS pin...
So I tried to burn efuses for the external flash SPI configuration.

Code: Select all

espefuse.py  burn_efuse  SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CS 21

Connecting...
Detecting chip type... ESP32-C3
espefuse.py v3.2-dev
The efuses to burn:
  from BLOCK1
     - SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CS
    ATTENTION! This BLOCK uses NOT the NONE coding scheme and after 'BURN', these efuses can not be burned in the feature:
               ['MAC', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CLK', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_Q', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_HD']
               ['SPI_PAD_CONFIG_WP', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_DQS', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D4', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D5', 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D6']
               ['SPI_PAD_CONFIG_D7', 'WAFER_VERSION', 'PKG_VERSION', 'BLOCK1_VERSION']

Burning efuses (see 'ATTENTION!' above):

    - 'SPI_PAD_CONFIG_CS' (SPI CS pad) 0b000000 -> 0b010101

Check all blocks for burn...
idx, BLOCK_NAME,          Conclusion
[01] MAC_SPI_8M_0         is not empty
        (written ): 0x00057a9060b0c258010c00000000000000007cdfa1b0682c
        (to write): 0x000000000000000000000000000000540000000000000000
        (coding scheme = RS)

A fatal error occurred:         Burn into MAC_SPI_8M_0 is forbidden (RS coding scheme does not allow this).

How do I use the esp32c3 with no internal flash?
