All,

I'm looking into larger flash chips for the Arachnio (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lo ... o/arachnio), and I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out which ones to use. 8 Mbit Winbond chips work just fine for me, but I'd like to go to a 32 MBit flash. For a test, I ordered some Spansion chips (S25FL132K0XMFI041, which is what Digikey had in stock in that size and form factor).

I flashed the chip with the 0.9.5 AT firmware using esptool. This appeared to work fine, but when I boot the chipI get the following:



Any thoughts on what might be wrong here?

Have you tried a power down and reflash? This frequently cures my problems when I get ets_main.c in the boot messages.

Otherwise the boot loader stopping at ets_main.c indicated a problem with the sketch, even though it compiled without errors. Now here be dragons!

Moin,

I can't help with your concrete problem.

But did you notice this old chat?

They got the firmware somewhat running.

Hope that helps,

I've used these W25Q32FVSIG:

and it works.
Note that the flash size has to be set in the header of your bin file, otherwise the ESP will still treat it as a 4 MBit flash.
