Programming the new ESP32-S3 dev boards

Postby zazas321 » Thu Oct 07, 2021 11:49 am

Hello. I have recently got my hands on the new ESP32-s3 boards and would like to try and program this device.

I have picked up hello world example from esp-idf and changed the target to ESP32-s3. The project built sucesfully but I am not able to flash the device.

. The error message:

Code: Select all

Terminal will be reused by tasks, press any key to close it.

I would also like to ask an additional questions. Why there are 2 USB ports on the device and how they are inteded to be used? Which one do I use to flash a program to the device and what is the other port being used for?

Hello zazas321,

Have you tried the master (latest) branch? From the logs I see you are using ESP-IDF 4.3 (idf4.3). If you install the latest branch you will see idf4.4 instead, ref. https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf#es ... patibility
Use port labelled "UART" for flashing, see https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp ... ware-setup

Hello!
I also just got my hands on the board. Currently using Vscode.
Can I check when would the ESP32s3 be supported on Arduino IDE?

Using Arduino programming is recommended.......

By whom? Programming in ESP-IDF should work great as long as you use an ESP-IDF version that supports the chip.

Arduino allows you not to download ESP-IDF for Bluetooth debugging, but only download the ESP development board library. Of course, this is my personal opinion
