ESP32 custom partition table.

[Ajinkya_777]

Hi,

Currently I am facing problem to create custom partition in ESP32.
I have created the custom partition settings in munuconfig/partition/custom partition settings and sdkconfig i have saved.
I have created the custom_partition.csv file and kept it in the below path.
C:\Users\Akshata\Desktop\esp-idf\examples\get-started\hello_world\build\partition_table
as the documents have given the guidelines.

when i build my code i got this error

C:\Users\Akshata\Desktop\esp-idf\examples\get-started\hello_world>idf.py build

i need help in this where I am going wrong whether in Path of csv file or any extra linking procedure which here is missing because CSV file not found at given position.

[ESP_Sprite]

Not sure where you got that path, but from the logs, the partition tool is looking for C:/Users/Akshata/Desktop/esp-idf/examples/get-started/hello_world/partitions.csv .

yes it is working fine with your guide.
Thank you so much.

I am facing one more big issue here when i use esp wifi code to connect to the given wifi this code is working fine as my esp32 is connecting to the given wifi here, but if i try to use blink program or any GPIO as output that code execution is working fine but no changes on GPIO as HIGH or LOW all are in some floating condition but no changes as code is written.
I am confused whether my ESP32 is crashed because my GPIO are not working or it is working anything wrong with my Blink code.

Thank you.

Could you provide some snippets of the code? Perhaps it is just me but I dont have the full picture.
