Description

The same firmware works fine with ESP32D0WDR2, but fails to display video with ESP32S3N16R8. IT only shows one screenshot. There is also a RAM allocation error.

Sketch

standard camera webserver example configured to ESP32S3_EYE

#define CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_EYE

Other Steps to Reproduce

load the stadard esp32 camera webserver example with board selection CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32S3_EYE, video fails to display.
THe same example loaded with ESP32D0WDR2 and board definition CAMERA_MODEL_ESP32_CAM_BOARD, video works normally.

The pinmap and GPIOs havebeen verified multiple times, everythign matches.

have you set PSRAM to OPI?

@me-no-dev

OK, we will try both modes and report

@me-no-dev
i can confirm that it works correctly when we set the PSRAM to OPI mode

So, is the internal PSRAM on S3 actually wired in octal mode?

TL;DR 8MB psram is octal

Thanks for the confirmation.
