Struggling with ESP32-S2

[Tobidogger]

My top line question is has anyone been able to get one of the examples to work on the adafruit QT PY ESP32-S2, adafruit ESP32-S2 or adafruit ESP32-S2-TFT? I have have perfect success getting examples (and my changes) to run on a variety of other ESP32's and ESP8266's, but the three previously mentioned adafruit board all end in the same spot:

ESPAsync_WiFiManager v1.12.2
SPIFFS/LittleFS failed! Already tried formatting.
LittleFS failed!. Please use SPIFFS or EEPROM. Stay forever

I have loaded LittleFS and SPIFFS tests on all of these boards, so I know they work.

ESP 2.0.3, ESPAsync_WiFiManager v1.12.2, LittleFS_esp32 1.0.6, ESP_DoubleResetDetector 1.3.1, ArduinoJSON 6.19.4

What might I be missing in my setup? Is there something peculiar to the adafruit boards? Some "I've been staring at this too long" thing in my setup :)

THANKS!

Hi @Tobidogger

Check ESP32-S2 ESPAsync_WiFiManager & CircuitPython Alternative

It seems there is some issues with Adafruit ESP32-S2 (Feather S2, Feather S2 TFT, Metro S2, Funhouse, Magtag, QT PY S2, etc.) firmware, and you'll have to wait for PR update adafruit boards tinyuf2 and partition scheme #6770.

I'm sorry I don't have those boards to know what's actually wrong with them. Post the issue on Adafruit Forum for help.

Good Luck,

[Tobidogger]

Ok thanks for the heads up and help.

If you would like a couple of them, I have a few TFT and QT PY S2's I'd be happy to share along as a donation. Or I will just "buy you coffee" as a thanks!

I'll mark this as answer and leave it here for anyone else that comes along.

My other account is blocked here for some reason...but this is what I figured out, leaving this here for others:

[env:featheresp32-s2]

The key seems to be the "board_build.flash_mode = qio"
