ESP32 base station ESPRTK

Working with setting up my esp32 for ESPRTK. I did a test upload and open the serial monitor and it said test “upload successful!”
-Uploaded the resister file and the serial monitor said press button for 5 seconds so I did that.
-Then I can’t remember exactly what it did but after a bit it said wait for 10 seconds
-now it just prints the following error at 115200 baud

rst:0x10 (RTCWDT_RTC_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
flash read err, 1000
ets_main.c 371 

any ideas what the issue is?

What ESP32 board are you using? Is it an “arduino-compatible” board with the same pin layout as an arduino? I haven’t tried ESPRTK but I was working on a project a while back where I plugged an Ardusimple F9P into a ESP32 with the arduino form factor and it wouldn’t boot; got that same message. I found that the ESP32 did not like the RX2 pin from the ardusimple board plugged into it for some reason. Flash error. I bent the pin out and plugged in the F9P board and it booted up fine.

That mean the your ESP32 was register successful as ESPrtk and ready to load the firmware file to it.
What you need is to load the APP.bin ESPrtk file to ESPrtk then open at baudrate 230400 .
Check the guide here :

Download lasted firmware here :

Anyway here is our email support :

-dev board esp32
-just have it in a bread board so the f9p isn’t affecting it.
