Build for the ESP32-S3-BOX

[catmeowjiao]

There is already a configuration for the ESP32-S3-BOX-3, but I want to build for the ESP32-S3-BOX (which has 16MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM). What should I do?

I ran the follow steps in the wiki. That's the output.

pp rom version: e7ae62f
linux ptr = 0x42120000
vectors ptr = 0x4037c000
E (21295) wifi:null wpa_sta_ap_set_rsnxe
E (24485) wifi:null wpa_sta_ap_set_rsnxe

Then there are all errors like "E (21295) wifi:null wpa_sta_ap_set_rsnxe".
What should I do?

Make a IDF configuration for that board (specify at least correct FLASH and PSRAM mapping sizes), make a buildroot configuration for the board (specify at least correct kernel configuration), make a linux configuration (define the DTB for your board and specify it as the DTB to build into the kernel).

Now that I write it it feels clumsy and awkward. You'd need to make your clones of the used repositories, put the mentioned files there and change the script to use your clones...

Then there are all errors like "E (21295) wifi:null wpa_sta_ap_set_rsnxe".

That message comes from the IDF firmware and it indicates that the core it runs on is not completely dead. You don't see any output from the kernel though and that means that you'd need to check what DTS is built into it and what serial port is used for the console. IIRC the box3 config brings console to the virtual terminal that it opens on the LCD, so if the box has different LCD or it's attached differently you won't be able to see anything.

What should I do?

Start with a simple configuration that puts console on the UART or USB-UART (not sure what is available on the box) and get some output from the kernel, that would be my very first step.
