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

--- Waiting for the device to reconnect

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.
