Hello

I have a problem Loaded the ESP32BLEtest sketch from previous laptop running Window 7.

Now on Window 10 laptop when I load the same sketch the ESP32 doesnt start up. Keep on showing following in Monitor

assertion"false && "item should have been present in cache"" failed file "/User/ficeto/Desktop/ESP32/ESP32/esp-idf-public/components/nvs_flash/scr/nvs_item_hash_list.cpp", line 85, function: void nvs::HashList::erase(size_t)

abort() was called at PC 0x401535bb on core 0.

I copied all the files from old PC to new, followed exact example in course.

Please help

Hello, when exactly does that error happen? When you start your Windows PC? I’ve never encountered anything like that…
Are you using a Virtual Machine?

Hello Rui. I get that message from the Serial monitor is the CPU. The ESP32 doesnt want to boot properly

Hello Rui
Figured it out but doesnt make sense. In my board manager there is 2 DOIT ESP32 DEVKIT V1. I chose the bottom in in the list and then encountered that problem. When i chose the top one in the list it work fine. Can’t see where the problem came from

I’m glad you figured it out! I’m also not sure how that problem happened, so I don’t have any good explanation about it….
