ESP32-C6 support with Arduino-ESP 3.0.0?
Opened this issue · 4 comments
I'm totally new to ESP dev and PlatformIO. With basic knowledge in C, I tried to twist some fun to meet the new Arduino 3 & ESP IDF 5.1 API changes, but the SDK still seems to be a big issue when I try to build.
Is there any suggested platform.ini config for the esp32-c6-devkitc-1 board? Or do I have to pick other esp32 boards? If so, do you have any recommendations? I struggle to pick esp32 boards as there are too many SoC models/variations and different boards with them.
Thx in advance.
Hi @derbirch I recently built another PlatformIO project (ESPHome) on the ESP32-C6 and I'll admit it was not very straight forward, if you are new to the ESP I may recommend a board that has been around for a while. The Readme has a few recommendations, I just updated my NodeMCU and noticed that the 4MB is getting filled, so you may want to go with an 8MB board if you have the budget.
Beyond that, I would recommend sticking with the ESP32 over the 8266 due to the increased RAM, you'll just have a better time :-) So that would leave you with the Lolin D32 (Pro), which I haven't used, but looks like a nice board.
If it's helpful, here is the ESPHome config (they use YAML) that did end up compiling:
esp32:
board: esp32-c6-devkitc-1
variant: esp32c6
flash_size: 4MB
framework:
type: esp-idf
version: 5.3.1
platform_version: 6.9.0
sdkconfig_options:
CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_4MB: y

Thx for your reply.
I have bought another ESP32 board.
With some twist in PIN def, the firmware works well except memorizing my drawings.
Do you mind marking this issue as solved for now if things are working on your ESP32 board?

It's an original ESP32, not C6, sorry if I make any confusion. But I will try to rebuild it for C6 with updated dependancies when available.
