Using UART0 pins as GPIO on ESP32-S3

[l9awty7c6k]

I am trying use the UART0 pins (GPIO43&44) on an ESP32-S3 board as GPIO pins. I have configured it to not use UART for the console using menuconfig and have tried

Code: Select all

 #define FLASH_PIN 44
 
 ...
 
      gpio_reset_pin(FLASH_PIN);
      gpio_set_direction(FLASH_PIN, GPIO_MODE_OUTPUT);
      gpio_set_level(FLASH_PIN, 1);

but the pin still does not go high like I expect. What am I missing?

Did you solve this? I have same issue.
