ESP32 S3 MINI, straping gpio18?

[beckmx]

Hello guys, I recently designed a custom pcb board for the esp32s3 mini, I have the basics from what i can see, but i noticed in the devkit schematic design there is a pull up resistor on gpio18, I looked in the datasheet but couldnt find anything related, I found a similar situation with the esp32_c3 that needed a pullup on gpio8, is this also the same for the esp32_s3_mini gpio18?

Greetings!

There's actually no pullup on that pin; note the Espressif schematic marks it as NC meaning there is a footprint for it on the PCB but no component should be fitted there. I'm unsure why they added that footprint.

I manually soldered my ESP32_s3_mini but I am not able to get any "serial" signal, if you have some minutes to check my schematic,do you see anything different in here?

I am very familiar with esp32 but this model in particular is getting hard to make it work for me.

Thanx for your time

- Not sure if you populated U2 or U3, but a HT75xx is not powerful enough to power an ESP32.
- You need a proper RC network on the EN pin.
Generally, I'd suggest keeping to the hardware design guidelines.
