The code compiles without changes, uploads and starts but promptly aborts (I put a println at the top of setup() but it never displays in the serial monitor) as follows:

------------------------------

All of the discussion I can find touching on keywords from my topic title refers to other development environments such as ESP-IDF and the discussions include (library?) code functions not exposed in the example code I have and/or discussions of correct partition formatting. In Arduino IDE with this example code there are no references to partitioning at all other than the specification to set it correctly under Tools.

What am I doing wrong?
Is it possible to run these esp32 zigbee examples under Arduio IDE or do I need to switch to ESP-IDF?

TIA

There is a set of partition schemes specifically for Zigbee. Look through the list for one that suits you.

In the Arduino IDE, partitioning is offered under Tools. As I posted, I selected exactly the one that the example calls for.
Is there another list? Where?
Thx.

Well, you say that you have "default 4mb w/ spiffs" partition. That is incorrect. You want "Zigbee ZCZR 4MB w/ SPIFFS". The error from the OS is pretty distinct here. If you cannot get that to work, then create a new tab (file) in your sketch called partitions.csv. Add this as the content. Note that it is exactly what is in the Zigbee ZCZR 4MB.

Thank you. This is it.
I failed to notice that there are Zigbee-specific partitionings and I simply accepted the already selected scheme that seemed to hold the called-for parameters.
My inexperience with this environment. The sketches now run correctly.
Thanks again.
