Constant rebooting

[kristiyandobrev]

After flashing the firmware, I am experiencing constant rebooting and I can't get the device into a working state 😐. Although it connects to the WIFI network as I can discover it.

You may see the logs here

For flashing I used the suggested commands from the WikiPage:

esptool erase_flash
esptool write_flash 0x01000 bootloader.bin 0x08000 partitions.bin 0x10000 firmware.bin

and here you may see the logs.

My ESP32-CAM board is attached on top of a ESP32-CAM-MB USB Programmer. The power supply is 5v, so I hope power is not an issue here. SD Card is also 16GB.

There seems to be a problem with your camera:

23:03:12.308 -> �[0;33mW (19842) cam_hal: Failed to get the frame on time!�[0m
23:03:12.308 -> �[0;31mE (19842) main: esp_camera_fb_get: Camera Capture Failed�[0m
23:03:12.308 -> Camera cannot be initialzed. System will reboot.
23:03:12.308 -> Reboot triggert by Software (5s).
23:03:12.345 -> �[0;32mI (19862) server_ota: Reboot in 5sec�[0m
23:03:12.345 -> Reboot in 5sec

Can you remove and attach it again? Notice the black lever must be opened for this!

Which software version are you using?

Thanks for the suggestion @caco3. No change in behaviour after doing that multiple times...

PS:
Could it be something related to the flashing or even the Python version on my Mac ? (Meanwhile I have updated my initial post with flashing logs and info)

[caco3]

hmm..

Which software version are you using?

maybe @jomjol has an idea.

Latest.

It could be that that camera is not supported. The naming on the ribbon cable looks not familiar to me.
I also have a camera which is not supported!

[kristiyandobrev]

Yep, the camera seems to be different. The one I use appears to be 8225N and the one that is supported according to the codebase is OV2640.

Had same problem long time ago, use an OV2640 modell

[kristiyandobrev]

Alright guys, thanks ! I will get a hold of the OV2640 model and report my findings here.

Just got the OV2640 camera model and confirming that it works 😊
