Hi,

I have a design based around ESP32-PICO-D4 and going for certification soon. Now I want to run ESP32_RF_TEST_BIN_V1.5.0_20190812.bin on our hardware but I'm unable to get it to boot properly.

To be sure that there are no problems with the hardware I also tried on the ESP32-PICO-KIT and ESP32-WROOM-32.

ESP32-WROOM-32 runs the binary successfully but I'm unable to get it to start on ESP32-PICO-KIT.

I get same error message on ESP32-PICO-KIT and my custom hardware based around ESP32-PICO-D4.

How are you supposed to program this binary to the PICO-D4 to get it to run properly? I'm using espRFTool_2.0.exe available from https://www.espressif.com/en/support/download/overview

Hi rajtantajtan -

Looking at the log, it seems that it is rebooting without successfully communicating with FlashROM.

ESP32 looks at the Firmware header and sets the SPI for external FlashROM (PICO-D4 external FlashROM is in the chip package).

Looking at the header in ESP32_RF_TEST_BIN_V1.5.0_20190812.bin, spi_mode = ESP_IMAGE_SPI_MODE_QIO(0x00), spi_size = ESP_IMAGE_FLASH_SIZE_1MB(0x0), spi_speed = ESP_IMAGE_SPI_SPEED_40M(0x0).

: ESP32_RF_TEST_BIN_V1.5.0_20190812.bin header.png (6.91 KiB) Viewed 2980 times

Firmware headers are stored in the esp_image_header_t structure in order from the top.
That is, the first “0xE9” is magic, “0x03” is segment_count, and “0x00” is spi_mode. (Note: be careful to endian)

Change spi_mode, spi_size, and spi_speed as shown in the screenshot below.
spi_mode = ESP_IMAGE_SPI_MODE_DIO(0x02), spi_size = ESP_IMAGE_FLASH_SIZE_4MB(0x2), spi_speed = ESP_IMAGE_SPI_SPEED_80M(0xF).

Try writing it after modifying the binary.
When writing ESP32_RF_TEST_BIN_V1.5.0_20190812.bin by manually specifying the offset address, set offset to 0x1000.

I saw that PICO-D4 works now.
