Camera init error 0xffffffff

[InokentiySSL]

I bought 2 camera models and get the same error. The standard example from arduino ide works and the camera shows. Why is that?

This project is also working.

The camera module is telling the app it has a hardware error. Only you can diagnose why. Or just use the other apps

[s60sc]

in ESP32-CAM_MJPEG2SD.ino replace:

if (psramFound()) prepCam();

with:

  if (psramFound()) {
    LOG_INF("PSRAM size: %s", fmtSize(esp_spiram_get_size()));
    prepCam();
  }

Need at least 4MB PSRAM

I think this issue can be closed. My CAM has 2MB PSRAM but the seller has 4MPSRAM stated on the website.... misinformation!

I can also see in @InokentiySSL's screenshot he has 2095071 bytes which is not enough.

Thanks @s60sc for your patience and willing to help.

Thanks for that useful information. I'll add a note to the readme

But the thing is I've used different boards from different sellers and it still shows the PSRAM error.

The web server doesn't show up but only says Startup Failure: Insufficient PSRAM for app

I have this problem with my esp32s3 and OV5640

Compilation error: 'esp_spiram_get_size' was not declared in this scope

the problem is on Arduino core for the ESP32 3.0.0-rc1 and 3.0.0-alpha3
on 2.0.15 and 2.0.14 i can compile but my cam module wont startup
