M5CoreS3 rebooting issue with PSRAM

ralphjy

I am using the Arduino IDE with the M5CoreS3 library and am having a reboot issue due to a PSRAM error when I upload any of the Basic examples. I have configured the boot setup per the documentation.

Arduino IDE 2.3.2
M5CoreS3 1.0.0
M5Unified 0.1.16

Error message:

Can someone help me debug this?

Thanks.

What board def version of ‘ESP32 by Espressif’ are you using?
Ver3.x.x is broken for some boards.

I can share a few thoughts on your PSRAM issue:

Have you tried using an older version of the M5CoreS3 library? Sometimes newer versions can introduce compatibility issues.
Double-check your board settings in the Arduino IDE. Make sure you've selected the correct board and PSRAM option.
Try increasing the PSRAM size in your sketch if you're using a lot of memory.
If possible, test with a different M5CoreS3 unit to rule out hardware issues.
Consider posting your code snippet if the issue persists. Sometimes the problem can be in how the PSRAM is being accessed in the sketch.

Keep in mind that PSRAM errors can be tricky to debug.
