Factory app parition not bootable.

[docmur]

Hey Guys

I designed an ESP32 board based around the ESP-WROOM-32 module. When I upload the example blink code to my board and run make monitor, it works fine, but when I upload my own project, it flashes perfectly fine, but when I run make monitor I get:

I (296) esp_image: segment 6: paddr=0x000a9768 vaddr=0x400c0000 size=0x00000 ( 0) load
E (296) esp_image: Checksum failed. Calculated 0xa6 read 0x6
E (300) boot: Factory app partition is not bootable
E (306) boot: No bootable app partitions in the partition table
user code done

My project works on my ESP-WROOM32 dev board, what should I check to try and get my project to boot up and run?

Thanks

I see two possible issues. One is that during flashing some error occured and there is error

Code: Select all

E (296) esp_image: Checksum failed. Calculated 0xa6 read 0x6

Try to flash your app one more time.

Another issue is that your app size is larger than partition size (but most likely it should have show more error messages with info about this issue).

It is also possible that some other issue occured that i cant predict because my lack of knowledge.

[Gfast2]

try "make size" to check your app size
try "make erase_flash" to format the whole flash.

Thanks for the suggestions:

Make Size returns:

Total sizes:
DRAM .data size: 11092 bytes
DRAM .bss size: 26944 bytes
Used static DRAM: 38036 bytes ( 142700 available, 21.0% used)
Used static IRAM: 71832 bytes ( 59240 available, 54.8% used)
Flash code: 465497 bytes
Flash rodata: 80080 bytes
Total image size:~ 628501 bytes (.bin may be padded larger)

and running make erase_flash then make flash didn't seem to help. Should I try using a custom partition table as the first reply pointed to?

Thanks

Hi,Maybe you should change another wire or another power,because it can not work normally.

[ESP_Angus]

The log output and all of the flashing offets look correct. Also, the fact you can run the same project on a development board points to a hardware issue.

Check the GPIOs that your design is using and that none of these overlap with GPIOs connected to the module's internal SPI flash pins (GPIOs 6-11 inclusive, there's a note in the ESP-WROOM32 datasheet about this.)

Try turning down the SPI flash frequency in menuconfig (Serial Flasher Settings) from 80MHz to 40MHz,see if this makes any difference.

[docmur]

Amazingly, it was a solder problem on the TX line. I installed a 0 Ohm resistor across RX and TX, and apparently the one side of the TX resistor was iffy, not sure how and it was generating the issue. I swapped the resistor and we're back in the game

Thanks for everyone's help!
