Hello everyone! I wanted to share my recent success in getting the Freenove ESP32-S3-WROOM CAM Board working with PSRAM enabled. After a lot of trial and error, I finally managed to configure it properly, and I thought it might be helpful to others facing similar challenges.
The key to getting PSRAM working was adding the following configuration to the ‘esphome’ section of my config file:
esphome:
platformio_options:
board_build.arduino.memory_type: qio_opi
This configuration change was crucial for enabling the PSRAM on this specific board. I also included a detailed configuration file and startup logs in my original post, which show that PSRAM is indeed enabled and functioning properly.
I hope this information helps someone else out there who’s struggling with similar hardware configurations. It’s always satisfying to overcome these technical hurdles, and I’m excited to continue exploring the capabilities of this ESP32-S3-CAM board!
If anyone has questions or needs further clarification, feel free to reach out. Happy coding and experimenting!
