Description
Board
ESP32-C6
Device Description
Device: ESP32C6 Development Module
Accessories: Board is attached to a Custom-PCB but with none powered. eg. It's all passive elements.
Hardware Configuration
GPIO9 was previously connected to a switch that is now disconnected which leaves it to float.
All other GPIO Pin are connected with passive elements.
I can show parts of the design upon request but this is a company project so I can't just upload all the files for the design.
Version
v3.1.1
IDE Name
Arduino IDE
Operating System
Windows 10
Flash frequency
40 MHz
PSRAM enabled
yes
Upload speed
115200
Description
Unable to upload via the UART Port on the ESP32C6. Previously had thought it was an issue with the boot mode but after attempts to put it into the right boot mode by either holding down the BOOT button or holding the BOOT button then pressing RESET and then releasing the BOOT button I've been unable to get Arduino IDE to upload anything to the board.
The results I get are...
esptool.py v4.8.1
Serial port COM22
Connecting......................................
I've tried with other modules that I've had around and have had no issue uploading via the UART on the device. When I looked at the Serial Output from the device that's having the issue I got the following...
E (639) rmt: rmt_new_tx_channel(298): register channel failed
[ 327][E][esp32-hal-rmt.c:548] rmtInit(): GPIO 9 - RMT TX Initialization error.

As you will see the code that I'm trying to put onto the device has nothing to do with allocating the GPIO9 pin to do anything and I'm confused why GPIO10 is even referenced. The only change made before this was updating to a new firmware version as prompted by Arduino. One confusion I have is whether the update that I installed on this board was meant for the C6 as when I opened Arduino it seemed like it was trying to do a firmware update on a C3 when I had the C6 connected.
Steps I've taken....
- I've successfully uploaded to other identical boards with UART.
- I've disconnected GPIO9 from any peripheral on the board by taking off the switch is was previously connected with.
- I've successfully uploaded via the USB Port but nothing with regards to Serial output - even when I try to Serial.print(...) on UART.
Thanks!
