Replacing flash on WROOM module

Postby Vader_Mester » Wed Jan 10, 2018 7:34 am

Hi Guys,

Is it possible to replace the 4MB flash to a 16MB flash on the WROOM module. SOldering is no problem, but I wonder if I need to change anything in software to make it work.
New flash would be a Winbond 25q128 so similar to what's on the module already but bigger.

(Note: I just need more Flash space to store my GUI elements :twisted: )

Thanks for the answer.
Vader

Code: Select all

task_t coffeeTask()
{
	while(atWork){
		if(!xStreamBufferIsEmpty(mug)){
			coffeeDrink(mug);
		} else {
			xTaskCreate(sBrew, "brew", 9000, &mug, 1, NULL);
			xSemaphoreTake(sCoffeeRdy, portMAX_DELAY);
		}
	}
	vTaskDelete(NULL);
}

Yes, that is possible and works fine. Been there, done that ;) No need to change anything software-wise, given you still have esptool.py set to autodetect the flash size (in menuconfig).

@ESP_Sprite Cool stuff :)

I will definitelly try that then! Thanks for the input :)

Code: Select all

task_t coffeeTask()
{
	while(atWork){
		if(!xStreamBufferIsEmpty(mug)){
			coffeeDrink(mug);
		} else {
			xTaskCreate(sBrew, "brew", 9000, &mug, 1, NULL);
			xSemaphoreTake(sCoffeeRdy, portMAX_DELAY);
		}

Is it possible to use different brand other than Windbond?
I guess so, but I wanna make sure, I ran into no problems, before I start ordering parts :)

I'm looking into the 25WP128-JBLE from ISSI

Code: Select all

task_t coffeeTask()
{
	while(atWork){
		if(!xStreamBufferIsEmpty(mug)){
			coffeeDrink(mug);
		} else {
			xTaskCreate(sBrew, "brew", 9000, &mug, 1, NULL);
			xSemaphoreTake(sCoffeeRdy, portMAX_DELAY);
		}
	}
	vTaskDelete(NULL);
}

Hi Vader,
We have verified that ISSI 25WP064A 1.8V flash works correctly with ESP32. We didn't test the specific model you are considering.
