Camera probe failed with error 0x105(ESP_ERR_NOT_FOUND)

[hpsaturn]

Summary

I was testing this Camera with its official samples, but the Camera presents aleatory behavior, sometimes it works fine for some minutes, but stop of working. Initial I used this code:

https://github.com/hpsaturn/esp32s3-cam/blob/master/examples/xiao-espnow-sender/xiao-espnow-sender.cpp

but I also returned to the official code of this repo but nothing. With other Cameras like the Freenove S3 Camera, everything works fine. With this module, only glitches and lost time.

Questions

• Is necessary an Especial version of Espressif Framework? or the Arduino IDE framework?
• Is possible that the Sensor was damaged? I tested it and worked for long time (10 minutes), that I mentioned, but it getting very hot.

Steps to replicate

I'm using PlatformIO, for running it, put the next platformio.ini file into the directory CameraWebServer for example, and running pio run --target upload

This looks like a hardware issue to me.
My pio config for the xiao is the following https://github.com/Matchboxscope/matchboxscope-simplecamera/blob/matchboxscope/platformio.ini#L33

Trying to validate if the camera module is damaged, I installed this firmware that you recommended:

https://matchboxscope.github.io/firmware/FLASH.html

but I have the same behavior:

CRITICAL FAILURE: Camera sensor failed to initialise.

A full (hard, power off/on) reboot will probably be needed to recover from this.
Meanwhile; this unit will reboot in 1 minute since these errors sometime clear automatically

well, I fixed the issue changing the sensor in the camera by other, from the Freenove S3 Camera, and the XIAO is working. Mmm bad quality materials here? I don't know, but is working:
