L01 instability

  • D

    I encountered some instability of L01 while powered by my custom board. Errors are thrown when WiFi client connects to the WiFi AP of L01. Then I found out that it only happens with release 1.7.6.b1 and later. I soldered another L01 to the OEM baseboard and flashed it with 1.9.2.b1. This is the output:

    Many more errors follow....

    Sometimes it happens immediately after establishing WiFi connection, in another cases after some time or when some communication is performed (e.g. FTP connection).

    I did try to erase the flash using esptool and then flashed 1.9.2.b2 with updater.py.
    Unfortunatelly L01 soldered on OEM baseboard is unstable in case WiFi client connects to it.

    @daniel
    Thanks Daniel, looking forward for the fix.

    @danielm this bug is caused by an issue with the spi flash QIO mode. It will be solved in the next release planned for next week. A workaround for this is to erase the flash memory of the L01 using esptool, and then flashing the firmware again.

    I'll announce the new release once it's ready.
