Error programming ESP32 with 16MB flash

[sinope-db]

I've just switch to ESP-WROOM-32 modules with 16MB of flash and I'm getting an error when trying to program them using JTAG. Using the same setup, I can program modules with 4MB flash just fine.

I'm using the win32 binaries of the release v0.10.0-esp32-20180724.
I also tried the previous release (20180604) without success.

OpenOCD_esp20180724>bin\openocd -s share\openocd\scripts -f interface/jlink.cfg -f target/esp32.cfg -c "adapter_khz 3000" -c "program_esp32 bootloader.bin 0x1000 verify exit"

@sinope-db Could you also post your partition table?

[sinope-db]

I tried programming bootloader and main app addresses and both failed
It's also failing whether module is brand new or has been programmed using the serial bootloader.

My partitions (ESP-IDF 3.0.2):

# Name,   Type, SubType, Offset,   Size, Flags
# Note: if you change the phy_init or app partition offset, make sure to change the offset in Kconfig.projbuild
nvs,        data, nvs,     0x9000,   0x4000,
otadata,    data, ota,     0xd000,   0x2000,
phy_init,   data, phy,     0xf000,   0x1000,

@sinope-db Unfortunately I have no 16 MB module at hands right now. I am trying to get it ASAP.
Just to check. Could you try to move factory partition to standard location at 0x10000?
Also could you attach your sdkconfig?

[sinope-db]

@gerekon Moving the factory partition does not solve the issue.

OpenOcd log is attached to OP, but I'm attaching one with the partition set at 0x10000. openocd_log.txt

As for GDB log, I'm not using GDB at this point, only flashing according to these instructions.

Any updates on this one? I face the same issue

Just an update, when I try to use my ESP-WROOM-32 developer board, where i run the firmware on a 16 MB external flash (using eFuses) it works. But when I use my manufactured PCB, where the ESP-WROOM-32D comes with 16MB, it fails:

@sinope-db @sorenhl I have got the board. I will try to solve the problem next week.

[sorenhl]

Thank you @gerekon, that would be really appreciated!

[SunilDullolli]

@igrr can you release new binaries for updated OpenOCD? I am having hard time to compile OpenOCD because of architecture mismatches. Thanks

[igrr]

@SunilDullolli done, please check https://github.com/espressif/openocd-esp32/releases

[sorenhl]

Thank you so much @igrr and @gerekon, I have tested on my latest PCB with a 16MB ESP-WROOM-32D and I can confirm that it works as intended :)
