Same issues with SPIFFS

All example code works in releases previous to 8ee5f0a

Only changing commit head between tests.  Have used get.py in tools.

Have also used latest Arduino, using 2.0.3-rc1 and 2.0.2.   Same outcome.

With 2.0.3-rc1, other libraries and code work without issue.

No compile errors.   Only err's when trying to access flash from code. e.g. (nvs, spiffs etc.)

Using Arduino latest, littlefs also failed to mount with rc1, same as https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/6579

Other Steps to Reproduce

Using ESP32-C3-DevKitC-02 and Lolin C3 mini. Using example code from repository.

I believe the issue is similar to #6572 and #6579

Using latest Arduino IDE, littlefs also fails to mount with rc1, same as #6579

Reverting to any commit prior to 8ee5f0a, all example code involving flash read/write work as expected.

@Jason2866, thanks, I don't know what I'm including or excluding to get these errors with the examples. Is there something else needed after S3 support? Just changing branches from 2.0.2 to the commit with S3 support I can't seem to read/write to the flash/eeprom with 3 devkits and c3 mini. Is a new platform branch needed? I'm going to delete the .platformio folder and try again.

Jason2866 · 2022-04-23T18:28:31Z

To use latest .git master use this setup for platformio.

platform = espressif @ 4.1.0
platform_packages = framework-arduinoespressif32 @ https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git

Sys64736 · 2022-04-23T19:50:38Z

Thanks @Jason2866 , just tried that and couldn't find package, so changed to espressif32 @ 4.1.0
Was using the upstream branch before this.

That installed but still same error with spiffs. Erased flash again and cleaned.

Here's the upload: Do you see anything that stands out?

This is with the upstream branch

Here's the ini. Do you see anything in the build flags that would cause problems?

board_build.f_flash = 80000000L
board_build.flash_mode = dio

I am using esptool.py v3.3. I have builded a framework for project Tasmota with some (small) changes. You can try with

platform = https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/releases/download/v2.0.3rc1/platform-espressif32-2.0.3new.zip

and remove anything you added!
Just add

framework = arduino
board = esp32-c3-devkitm-1

Sys64736 · 2022-04-23T21:55:53Z

@Jason2866
Thank you very much!! It's all working now. I did try using:
https://github.com/Jason2866/platform-espressif32.git#Arduino203rc1
in my tests this last week but it still wasn't working. This one works great!
Closing the issues. I really appreciate your help with this.

[env:esp32c3]

  platform = https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/releases/download/v2.0.3rc1/platform-espressif32-2.0.3new.zip

  framework = arduino
board = esp32-c3-devkitm-1

monitor_speed = 115200

I ran into exactly the same issue on the ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1U-N8R8 board.
Spent quite some time searching before ending up here.

Switched from the standard platform = espressif32 to platform = https://github.com/tasmota/platform-espressif32/releases/download/v2.0.4/platform-espressif32-2.0.4.zip

After rebuilding and uploading the firmware.bin file, the error went away.

I am using PlatformIO with the latest (5.0.0) version Espressif 32 framework.

My question then is as follows:
Should the status of this issue really be Solved, when it seems that new users will continue
to be baffled (like I was) by the fact that the default deliverable (5.0.0) in PlatformIO still
seems to contain the broken 2.0.3 code and tooling?

Jason2866 · 2022-07-17T20:41:55Z

@lranders The issue is solved here. Platformio is a different project. Platformio crew has not released the Platformio core 2.0.4!
Espressif is not responsible for a other company. You can open a issue in Platformio github and ask for release of latest 2.0.4.

Tasmota Platformio release (my part) does differ in some small details. For 99% of users the changes will have no impact. We have choosen some other settings in sdkconfig (for example, Rainmaker is removed completly) to build the needed Arduino libs for Tasmota use.

lranders · 2022-07-17T21:01:12Z

@Jason2866 That makes sense.

I am still very new to all of this exciting ESP32 stuff, so I am very much poking around and searching for enlightenment.
The reason for my question was because I don't quite know about the relationship with you folks and the PlatformIO team,
save for the fact that they very aggressively link to your project, hence how I ended up here in the first place.

I will search their PR list and open an issue with them as appropriate.

Thank you for your time!
