You need to look into the ESP32-S3 TRM on section 8.3 ROM Messages Printing Control

some eFuses need to be set for print to be disabled

You can not use the 32K crystal through Arduino IDE, because it requires configuring the RTC clock source, which is done through ESP-IDF's `idf.py menuconfig`. Documentation here: https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/release-v5.3/esp32c3/api-reference/system/system_time.html

One option is ...

I happened to have the same board as you and uploaded the Camera Web Server example from Arduino. Everything went fine and camera started normally with OPI PSRAM and all. I see that you are doing something with IOs 21 and 34 that is not part of that sketch. Can you try to upload the Camera Web ...

Please enable core debug level to verbose and submit the serial output again. Decoding the backtrace could be very helpful too. Example is working fine on my end with OPI PSRAM

It automatically allocates an available port. No need to specify

Currently the ESP-IDF v5.1 support is in branch "esp-idf-v5.1-libs" and will soon be merged into master. You can try with that branch.

Please post a question on Arduino-esp32's github repository and fill all required information.

Hi @mikelisfbay You have an issue with your code. to better understand what is going on, please use the exception decoder to decode the backtrace: https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder

Could you please file an issue report in the repository? https://github.com/espressif/esp32-camera/issues

frame2bmp outputs Microsotft Bitmap, not RGB888. It just so happened that the BMP file contains actually RGB888 after the header
