23k external crystal

Postby mrdebug » Mon Mar 23, 2020 11:23 am

Hi, I need to use an external crystal oscillator 32k. Can someone suggest me an example on how to use it?
I don't find any example.
Best regards.

How do you mean 'how to use it'? Connect it in hardware, or make use of it in software? In software, there's an option in menuconfig. In hardware, take a look at the ESP32 Hardware Design Guidelines, chapter 2.1.4.2.

Are you saying that it is not necessary to implement it by code but only by the menuconfig option, such as the screenshot below below?
If yes I still reading "clk: 32 kHz XTAL not found, switching to internal 150 kHz oscillator"

Can you explain the gpio25 as in the screenshot? Is it necessary to use the external crystal?

Yes, that should be all you need to do; deepsleep time keeping etc should automatically switch over to the crystal. I have no idea why your crystal isn't detected, maybe post a picture/schematic of your hardware? Also, GPIO25 is only in the picture because it's a crop of a bigger schematic; it has nothing to do with the crystal.
