NUTTX make flash : Detected overlap at address: 0x8000

Postby burtrum » Mon Dec 20, 2021 4:05 am

I have installed the latest Nuttx with Espressif ESP32 Xtensa and RISCV support under Linux.
I get the same failure for the esp32, esp32s2, esp32c3.
I'm using pre-built binaries. And the correct toolchains.

I try to flash with boot and partition binaries:
$ make flash ESPTOOL_BINDIR=../esp-bins

Gives this error:
esptool write_flash: error: argument <address> <filename>: Detected overlap at address: 0x8000 for file: ../esp-bins/partition-table-esp32s2.bin

Lastly, the binaries are this big, rounded out it's 150K bytes:
....148474 bootloader-esp32s2.bin
....148999 partition-table-esp32s2.bin

The partition table must be 0x10000 - 0x8000 = 0x8000 or 32768 bytes.
Is it so simple, are the binaries too big, namely is the partition-table-esp32s2.bin at 148999 bytes just too big to fit in 32768 bytes?
Do I really have to custom build binaries and what are good numbers?

If so why are the defaults not correct?

I am experienced with the ESP-IDF and FreeRTOS.
I think Nuttx has potential, but this first step has me stopped.

Thanks, Burtrum.

My notes:
OK: Set up board configuration.
$ ./tools/configure.sh -l esp32s2-saola-1:nsh

OK: Run menuconfig. I make NO changes!
$ make menuconfig

OK: Compile my application.
$ make
...

esptool.py -c esp32s2 elf2image -fs 4MB -fm dio -ff 40m -o nuttx.bin nuttx

FAIL: Flash my application with ESP bootloader binaries: Failed

My mistake: Re: NUTTX make flash : Detected overlap at address: 0x8000

I used 'curl' (incorrectly :-) to download the bin files and ended up with 150K worth the http and other text.
I just used 'wget' and everything flashed OK.

So apparently making progress with Nuttx, so far I like it.

sorry for the false alarm.
