Bit confused about this one. Board is ESP32-WROVER-DEV. Supposedly it meets the requirements for flash and PSRAM with the WROVER chipset. I've tried flashing via the web GUI tool and the ESP32 Flash Download Tool, both with the same result: `I (27) boot: ESP-IDF v4.3.2-dirty 2nd stage bootloader rst:0x7 (TG0WDT_SYS_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT) rst:0x7 (TG0WDT_SYS_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT) Any pointers please! Many thanks in advance. |

Post a picture of your board. There are lots of low quality products out there. Also be more specific with the flasher you actually used, as there are a few out there. |

Thanks for the quick response. First try was this using the generid/I2S: https://sle118.github.io/squeezelite-esp32-installer/ Second was the Espressif tool from here: https://www.espressif.com/en/support/download/other-tools Wading through the thread, on slimdevices, I've just uncovered some posts about this very board. Apologies if I've wasted your time - it didn't come up as I was searching for similar issues. I'll continue reading and report back. Hopefully it might help someone in the future regardless. |

@sle118 @KerbalFoundries I'm seeing exactly same issue (same exact board as in picture). Flashed some 1-2 releases back and getting same. The board works fine when flashed with any ESPHome binary. Is this WROVER-E not supported ? It has 8MB of PSRAM, thus more than minimum / required. |

To follow up, I found a post in the thread over on slimdevices. https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/user-forums/3rd-party-hardware/109412-announce-squeezelite-esp32-dedicated-thread?p=1627715#post1627715 Following those instructions and reflashing the bootloader with the stock bootloader.bin from espressiff did the trick and all is well. I've got a UDA1334A hooked up running generic I2S. Took some fiddling, but my config is model=i2s,bck=27ws=26,do=25 for anyone that's interstested. For Future Ref: This board appears to be a clone of the Freenove board: https://github.com/Freenove/Freenove_Ultimate_Starter_Kit_for_ESP32/blob/master/About_Fakes.pdf I wish I'd known when buying... you live and learn. Anyway, I hope that's of some use! If I can help with troubleshooting, reproducing the fault or feeding back extra info, @sle118 , please do shout. I have a spare board to pay with. |

Since this isn't a legit board, and given there's a workaround, I won't try to fix the issue for now. I will move it to a discussion for anyone hitting that problem in the future. |
