Xiao esp32c6 w/ HaLow board

Hardware

I am very new when it comes to using esp32 boards and I’d like to get a STA working but currently when flashing is idf.py I am seeing:

I (23) boot: ESP-IDF v5.5.3 2nd stage bootloader

I see the seeedstudio guide mentions using an esp32s3 instead of a c6 so maybe I need to move to that?

What I’ve done so far:

  1. Installed idf.py version 5.3.3
  2. Downloaded GitHub - MorseMicro/mm-iot-esp32 · GitHub
  3. Converted to bcf_fgh100mhaamd.bin to mbin using the convert-bin-to-mbin.py and placed it within framework/morsefirmware directory.

I have the pins within menuconfig set to the following:

CONFIG_MM_RESET_N=0
CONFIG_MM_WAKE=1
CONFIG_MM_BUSY=22
CONFIG_MM_SPI_SCK=19
CONFIG_MM_SPI_MOSI=18
CONFIG_MM_SPI_MISO=20
CONFIG_MM_SPI_CS=21
CONFIG_MM_SPI_IRQ=2

I don’t see any errors during the idf.py build step which leads me to think I at least have files in the correct locations, but maybe not. Currently just trying to complete the porting_assistant. Any help would be appreciated if someone else has gotten this setup working.

Hi @castironclay ,

Looks like you are having an issue with your computer being unable to correctly connect to the device.

I suggest that you go through the ESP getting started guide first, and confirm that you can build, flash and run the examples there (blink/hello_world).

Afterwards you should have a better understanding of the how the ESP IDF tools work and can try again with our examples.

I actually went through the hello_world example before attempting to flash from the MM repo and it worked as expected.

Edit: Apologies, I should have added to my original post that the error I posted is AFTER idf.py goes through that build and flash (lots of output and the 0-100% status). So I do think it’s communicating with the board enough to flash it at a minimum.

Hi @castironclay

I now understand the error you are seeing and I’m looking into resolving this. My suspicion is that this is an error with specifically the Porting Assistant application.

Please can you try running a different example (scan/sta_connect)
