Hi,
I program the XPLR module from the Arduino IDE I received this message
do you know how to fix that?

Make sure you select the tight target as indicated on lines 21 in software.ino, also partition must be properly selected.

Try to follow the build instructions at the bottom of software/readme.md

I think the module on the board is the -10B version with bigger flash. But not sure if this will improve as you used a small partition.

In case you have the u-blox version (green board) have you changed the HW.h file?

I don't see any resets in your report.

Maybe try to enable core debug.

[netanbi]

I have the black xplr module, like in documents,

I configure it like in :
// After that select Board u-blox NINA-W10 series and configure the target CPU: 240MHz, Flash: 80MHz, 4MB, Minimal SPIFFS

i did not touch anything in HW.h

do I need to change something with the black module?
is the partition that I selected correct?
this is the serial monitor output :
see the first row

[netanbi]

can you please what is you setup that work ? esp32 board library version ? configuration ?

[gabrielyoung92]

I've had this same problem, it is a problem with the ESP32 board manager. If you install V2.0.10 or later this will occur nor matter the sketch - "Blink" will do the same issue! You need to downgrade to 2.0.9 or lower

arduino_esp32 v3.0.0 (https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/releases/tag/3.0.0) with esp core 5.1 seems to solve this issue. several libraries needed are not yet compatible

• ArduinoWebSocket requires Fixes for arduino esp32 v3.0.0 gilmaimon/ArduinoWebsockets#158
• SparkFun_u-blox_SARA-R5_Arduino_Library requires Fixing warnings caused by arduino_esp32 version 3.0.0 sparkfun/SparkFun_u-blox_SARA-R5_Arduino_Library#46 and this is now merged an fixed in version 1.1.2 which is tagged and released here https://github.com/sparkfun/SparkFun_u-blox_SARA-R5_Arduino_Library/releases/tag/v1.1.12
