after esp_restart, getting a "waiting for download" message

[mzimmers]

Hi all -

My app issues an esp_restart() command, and I get these messages:

Code: Select all

I (348163) wifi:state: run -> init (0)

It does not seem to recover from this. Can anyone explain what's going on here?

Thanks...

Hi Chegewara - so, does this mean I need to pull GPIO12 low prior to calling esp_restart()?

Thanks...

That means something is pulling GPIO0 to GND (and most of strapping pins).
You should check them all to avoid other problems too.

Hi Chegewara -

I'm not really sure what you mean - can you please give me a little more detail as to what I'm supposed to do?

Thanks...

Nothing special, just check your hardware.
