ESP32-S2 support ?

[johnall203]

Hello noob here. I was wondering if the newer ESP32-S2 board was supported ? Has anyone tried it and is the installation process the same as the regular ESP32 ? I figured if I was going to try it but wanted to be sure before making a purchase. Thank you for the help ! John

Hi!
Seems like the ESP32 Arduino core team is working on it, but the ESP32-S2 doesn't appear to be 100% compatible with the existing sources and binaries: espressif/arduino-esp32#4066

So most likely there is no support for the ESP32-S2 yet until it is supported in the Arduino Core.
Will use this issue to track ESP32-S2 support specifically in regards to WLED :)

Hey! This issue has been open for quite some time without any new comments now. It will be closed automatically in a week if no further activity occurs.
Thank you for using WLED!

Any updates on the ESP32-S2 boards? I bought 4 of these not really thinking it would be an issue but I haven't been able to get WLED to work with them.

Unexpected error: ESP Chip Auto-Detection failed: Unexpected UART datecode value 0x00000500.

I found/added experimental support for my ESP32-S2 in ESPHome: esphome/esphome#1433

As WLED also uses platformio it could be adopted easily until it is full supported?

[env:esp32s2]
board = nodemcu-32s
board_build.mcu = esp32s2
board_build.partitions = partitions.csv
framework = arduino
platform = espressif32@1.12.4
platform_packages = framework-arduinoespressif32 @ https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git#idf-release/v4.2

I would also like to know if there's any update on this? ESP32-S2 has been out for a year now and it seems like the future. Thanks :)

It works, kind of. The last reports I've heard of complained about LittleFS having issues on S2.
WLED now officially includes a S2 build environment (saola) so you can build it yourself.

Where might I find the complaints? Is it a critical issue or an annoyance? Thank you for responding so promptly.

FWIW I managed to build WLED for ESP32-S2 with minor (yet dirty) patches over LittleFS (which is now part of arduino-esp32) and ESPAsyncWebServer (mbedtls was apparently bumped to newer version). Haven't had much time for detailed testing but it seems to be working just fine (w/ ws2811 at least).

Given that I care about newborn baby now I don't expect myself to have time to familiarize myself with the codebase to submit a high quality PR. I don't know how far has the project went with the issue, maybe there's cleaner way of making it buildable already, but in case there isn't, here are gists with patches that make it work:

• for WLED: https://gist.github.com/lsiudut/af6fcd9c9c2e9d30e777f61a77604a7e
• for ESPAsyncWebServer: https://gist.github.com/lsiudut/1722a69cacef166539ac4c88d117c25f

Funny... nearly at the same time: #2452 😉🙃
