1.28inch_ESP32-2424S012 boot loop

[chung1608]

LCD works fine when I use ESP32 library ver2.0.2 but when I update ESP32 library to 3.0.5, ESP32 falls into boot loop

17:40:08.708 -> rst:0x3 (RTC_SW_SYS_RST),boot:0xc (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
17:40:08.708 -> Saved PC:0x40048b82

Can you send your setup? Pin defines file

I have the same problem, with version 3.0.1 of esp32 on arduino it works correctly, with the latest version it goes into a reset loop.

I use a 3.5" SPI TFT the user_setup file is configured like this:

#define TFT_MISO 19
#define TFT_MOSI 23
#define TFT_SCLK 18
#define TFT_CS 15 // Chip select control pin
#define TFT_DC 2 // Data Command control pin
#define TFT_RST 4 // Reset pin (could connect to RST pin)
//#define TFT_RST -1 // Set TFT_RST to -1 if display RESET is connected to ESP32 board RST

// For ESP32 Dev board (only tested with GC9A01 display)
// The hardware SPI can be mapped to any pins

//#define TFT_MOSI 15 // In some display driver board, it might be written as "SDA" and so on.
//#define TFT_SCLK 14
//#define TFT_CS 5 // Chip select control pin
//#define TFT_DC 27 // Data Command control pin
//#define TFT_RST 33 // Reset pin (could connect to Arduino RESET pin)
//#define TFT_BL 22 // LED back-light

#define TOUCH_CS 21 // Chip select pin (T_CS) of touch screen

The serial monitor output is:

Can you add this line and test:

#define USE_HSPI_PORT

this is HW fix pin I can't change
#define TFT_MISO -1
#define TFT_MOSI 7
#define TFT_SCLK 6
#define TFT_CS 10
#define TFT_DC 2
#define TFT_RST -1 // Reset pin (could connect to Arduino RESET pin)
#define TFT_BL 3

I have defined it in user_setup and it is still the same

Sorry. Misread your MCU model. It works on ESP32-S3.
Are you sure the reset is because of TFT_eSPI?
if you put

while(1);

right after tft.init(); line still reboots?

[chung1608]

reboot right after tft.init();

[Basitadam]

reboot right after tft.init();

Now I see. You have ESP32-C3 board. Can you test with this "TFT_eSPI_ESP32_C3.h" file from this link:

https://www.filemail.com/d/bsgocapqwmdpeyj

I had the same issue. Modified the .h file

BR,

another isssue, do not exit init_tft

Strange. Here is my setup, tested again now, works OK:

And output:

SPI pins are different but you said your setup was working before

[Basitadam]

Works well on ESP32 3.0.7, too

[chung1608]

no luck with me, I'm use this LCD

[Basitadam]

Can you send your user.select.h file. I want to test with it

Thank you.

OK. It stuck after tft.init like yours. Something with the User_Setup.h file.
I created a new one. I am sending it with the link below. There is an Arduino test sketch and the new setup file

https://www.filemail.com/d/eaavnnfigzjkjfg

Save the setup file (Setup70tk_ESP32_C3_GC9A01.h) to your "....\Arduino\libraries\TFT_eSPI\User_Setups" folder,
Add this line

#include <User_Setups/Setup70tk_ESP32_C3_GC9A01.h>    // Setup file for ESP32 C3 with SPI GC9A01

to your User_Setup_Select.h file,
Comment the line #include <User_Setup.h> in the User_Setup_Select.h file.
Upload the Arduino sketch "TFT_eSPI_SimpleTest.ino" and enjoy

Hope this will solve your issue.
