Dear @pat_hslu,
Espressif is constantly improving the WiFi software stack [1], it might happen that we see improvements if this will be incorporated some day. Apart from that,
@robert-hh said in LoadProhibited core panic when initialize wlan:
This happens sometimes caused by a power supply problem. As soon as WiFi starts, the power consumption increases a lot. If you tried already other USB ports or cables, it might be related to the hardware of that unit.
how is your power source? Will you be able to just try a different cable in order to take that out of the equation? For more details about the potential power issue, see also [2] ff.
May I also ask whether you followed the installation instructions and the notes for LoPy, LoPy4, SiPy and FiPy devices? Completely erasing the flash will trigger a full RF-calibration on the next reboot. Maybe this helps with the WiFi behavior you are observing.
With kind regards,
Andreas.
