It seem QPI very sensitive to impedance so I would say check your board, put esp-psram on your board and check it.
Too many delays, time to make batch without psram and strip some features. Wonder if "esp64" still "shipping this year".
i saw - the fw was just in time no times not download - is ok - no problem
i go forward in this theme allone
ok,
got some express parcels this weekend ( 1.8 flash, psram and other things )
and had a fast try on it from saturday over sunday morning
1. test mod with
nano32 and 1.8V 128Mbit and 1.8V 32Mbit psram successful
but we have no shematic on nano32 ( Gravitech & MakerAsia )
so we can only think what is connected.
i used
PSRAM #CE -> GPIO16 and pulled up 10K VDD_SDIO
PSRAM CLK -> GPIO17
Datapins was shared with flash
MTDI ( GPIO15 ) was pulled up VDD3.3 for VDD_SDIO 1.8V from SoC regulator
next test
2. test mod with
DevKitC and 1.8V 128Mbit and 1.8V 32Mbit psram successfull
and here we have on
Hardware Resources -
- ESP32 Module Reference Design
- ESP32 Development Board Reference Design
i used the same again
PSRAM #CE -> GPIO16 and pulled up 10K VDD_SDIO
PSRAM CLK -> GPIO17
Datapins was shared with flash
MTDI ( GPIO15 ) was pulled up VDD3.3 for VDD_SDIO 1.8V from SoC regulator
and the log looks like this:

never give up until you finish your work
sry for the bad soldering - but had no scope on this fast try .

btw:
in few days comes Caregiver Board - then I test this on site, why the FW was not run.
then i go again in a weekend with this theme - and then comes longer silence time,
cause there are summer holidays - and other things .
esp64 comes after chin. new year 2018 for public
(
no - i do not know really when 
)
nice sunday and nice week
best wishes
