I cant get my esp32-S3-WROOM-1 to work with arduino ide

Other Hardware 3rd Party Boards

i think the problem is that i cant find the right board in arduino ide. i have tried a few, for example esp32s3 DevModule, but when i try printing something i just get (ESP-ROM:esp32s3-20210327).

som others i have tried gave me this error message

.ELF file SHA256: 4abe27c07

i have tried everything i can think of, for example erasing and reflashing the firmware of the microcontroller as chat gpt proposed. with esptool.

An ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 is not an Arduino Nano ESP32. Hence your topic has been moved to a more suitable location on the forum.

Select Tools > Flash Size > 8MB (64Mb) from the Arduino IDE menus and then upload the sketch to the board again.

Hopefully after doing that everything will work as expected.

I have had this issue too while using OPI PSRAM configuration in Tools where the following commands in Void Setup() :

Serial.println(ESP.getPsramSize());
Serial.println(ESP.getFreePsram());

returned zero. But when I changed to QSPI PSRAM I got a feedback of 2097152; confirming correct configuration of the PSRAM. Note that I'm using a ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 (N8R2 detail found on bottom left of the chip next to QR code)
Note that not all ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 chips have PSRAM. At least two versions don't have PSRAM.

I had a few issues with getting a handle on ESP32 boards as well. I then found and used the following site to work through everything and still refer to it whenever I do something new with these boards,
