PSRAM ID read error: 0xffffffff

[bbernhard]

Hello everybody,

I have connected the PSRAM64H to my ESP32-WROOM-32U as shown in the below schematic.

Unfortunately, when I try to run the "himem" example it fails with the following stacktrace:

I have a pullup on GPIO12, so it will be pulled high during boot. But I've set the flash voltage to 3.3V with "espefuse.py set_flash_voltage 3.3V". So I think this should be fine?

Does anyone have an idea what I am doing wrong here?

Thanks a lot!

Have a nice day,
Bernhard

From what I can tell, that should work. Are you sure your module is a ESP32-WROOM-32U module? Asking because later WROOM modules do not have the required pins connected to the outside anymore.

Hi,

thanks for your reply!

Yeah, it is a ESP32-WROOM-32U. I've tried another PSRAM64 (because I thought the first one might be damaged), but I am seeing the same behavior there. Is there anything I can do to troubleshoot the problem and find the root cause?

The alternative would be to switch to the ESP32 WROVER module - but as the WROVER has a larger footprint, it probably gets a bit tricky for me to fit it on the size constraint PCB.

I can reproduce your behavior by commenting code that provides reset procedure. Also make sure that if you switched the device to quad mode and then did hot reset (i.e without power-down, the chip won't do a hard reset) you need to send reset command in quad mode, not serial. To solve this problem I am doing reset procedure for both modes successively.

Hi. First post on this forum and very new to ESP . I know its an old thread but I found a solution by changing the board in the Arduino IDE Tools-> Board to "ESP32 Dev Module"
