ESP32-S3 Support

[VojtechBartoska]

Adding support for ESP32-S3 chipset.

Please specify what's needed and tag issues which will be solved by this.

Update:

• development branch esp32-s3-support have been added
• you can give it a try
• it supports any Mass production versions of the chip, Beta versions are not supported

Testing is tracking here in Github Discussions if you want to help us, feel free to comment there :)

A fatal error occurred: This chip is ESP32-83(beta3) not ESP32-S3(beta2). Wrong --chip argument?
This error occurred when I was make flash,why?
My development board is ESP32S3

@heipp there is no S3 support yet. You can not build for it.

then hurry up, i just ordered few of those ;)

Hi, I appreciate your work.
Are there any updates on this task? Or any planned finish date?

I tried to compile the sample Hello World app and was given this error:

This chip is ESP32-S3(beta3) not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?

So, we can't compile for the S3 yet? Is that right, Espressif is selling chips that you can't compile software for?

I know I'm such a noob. But I'm curious about how to eve set that value. (This might not even be the right place to ask such trivial question and I apologize)

Is it on this line of the python script?

@ttfw_idf.idf_example_test(env_tag='Example_GENERIC', target=['esp32', 'esp32c3'])

This chip is ESP32-S3(beta3) not ESP32. Wrong --chip argument?

You have older version of S3 chip, it wont be supported in esp-idf soon and for sure not in arduino.

[hoskam-l]

Ahh, thanks. Very interesting.

[chegewara]

But, it is also my bad in answer here.
That message you see is telling you that you have selected old esp32 chip/board and the chips is S3 (beta3).
Currently there is no support for S3 anyway in arduino, and like i said earlier the support will be for S3 rev 0 and newer.

[hoskam-l]

I'm using the ESP-IDF, which I think did support S3 or at least had filesname included in the package that indicated S3 was supported.

In the command line I set as esp32s3 using :idf.py set-target esp32s3 and I get the error OP gets.

So beta3 is older than beta2?

How would I go about programming this without the esp-idf?

[chegewara]

You can use esp-idf with S3, S3-betax. The thing is that currently esp-idf master is supporting only S3 rev0, no longer S3-beta support. You still can use esp-idf , just i dont remember with which branch or v4.x.
Maybe @igrr can help with answer
