ESP_S3 WITH ETHERNET SUPPORT BUILT IMAGE NOT WORKING AND SEEKING FOR HELP

[belem2050]

``Hey every one,

I have been spending almost 2 weeks full time, trying to make this work.
I know some discussions have already been opened but are about 3 years ago and maybe wee now have new features I am not aware of.

I've built a https webserver that monitor and handle stuff. Until here everything worked very fine with WIFI and I am trying now to have it worked with ethernet.
From what I read and found over the Internet, there is no firmware version for Ethernet support with ES3_S3 targets and I tried to built mutliple times my custom images using the ESP32_S3 from here, followed every step and I was able to built and and flash but still does not work.
Here my modifications in the CmakePresets.json:

            "name": "ESP32_S3",
            "inherits": [
                "xtensa-esp32s3-preset",
                "user-tools-repos",
                "user-prefs"
            ],
            "hidden": false,
            "cacheVariables": {
                "TARGET_NAME": "${presetName}",
                "SDK_CONFIG_FILE": "sdkconfig.default.esp32s3",
                "NF_BUILD_RTM": "OFF",
                "NF_FEATURE_DEBUGGER": "ON",
                "NF_FEATURE_RTC": "ON",
                "NF_FEATURE_HAS_SDCARD": "ON",
                "ESP32_USB_CDC": "ON",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SUPPORT": "ON",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_INTERFACE": "W5500",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SPI_INT_GPIO" : 10
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SPI_MOSI_GPIO" : "11",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SPI_MISO_GPIO" : "12",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SPI_SCLK_GPIO" : "13",
                "ESP32_ETHERNET_SPI_CS" : "14",
                "ETH_PHY_RST_GPIO": "9",
                "API_nanoFramework.Graphics": "ON",
                "GRAPHICS_DISPLAY": "Generic_SPI.cpp",
                "TOUCHPANEL_DEVICE": "XPT2046.cpp",
                "GRAPHICS_DISPLAY_INTERFACE": "Spi_To_Display.cpp",
                "TOUCHPANEL_INTERFACE": "Spi_To_TouchPanel.cpp",
                "ESP32_SPIRAM_FOR_IDF_ALLOCATION": "1024 * 1024"
            }

and I have added this to the sdk config file

#
# Ethernet
#
CONFIG_ETH_ENABLED=y
CONFIG_ETH_USE_SPI_ETHERNET=y
CONFIG_ETH_SPI_ETHERNET_W5500=y
# CONFIG_ETH_USE_OPENETH is not set
# CONFIG_ETH_TRANSMIT_MUTEX is not set
# end of Ethernet

And here here my chip

In conclusion, here what I got after building and flashing with a lot combinations:

• chip disappears from Visual studio but I was able to flash the application through this nanoff --target ST_STM32F769I_DISCOVERY --deploy --image "E:\GitHub\nf-Samples\samples\Blinky\Blinky\bin\Debug\Blinky.bin" but couldn't make it work although with some debugging methods, I got to prove that WIFI was working fine and it was taking into account my app uploading.

• I changed chips but still couldn't find a way.

I, by the way, thought of translating all the ccode I have into arduino but it is a very big project and the implementation is already so far.
I may be missing some stuff and If anyone has any suggestions, I am willing to hear from you.

Thanks in advance!

@josesimoes , @Ellerbach , if you guys have any suggestion, I am really taking it!

For completeness, I've found this this ethernet driver that uses the SPI config and I was able to get it linked up, I could sometime ping it when I link the chip to my laptop via ethernet cable but I wasn't able to send tcp socket through it and I wasn't able to see it in my network when I plug it to my network (May be some unawareness of network stuff of mine, here). Even though I succeed to make this driver work, it look like ( I may be wrong) that I won't be able use the official webserver I am using now via the wifi network from what I have seen in NF_ESP32_Ethernet.cpp and target_network.cpp in the NF-INTERPRETER.

It maybe useful for you to know that there a discussion ongoing about this in discord https://discord.com/channels/478725473862549535/1328364110815039610
