ESP32-CAM infinite boot loop

Question

I am currently using an ESP32-CAM with an OV5460 camera, and I am interfacing it with my computer using an Arduino Nano. I am trying to run a camera web server using the Arduino example code. I have looked at a couple of YouTube tutorials and so have downloaded all the necessary stuff required to run an ESP32 project on Arduino and have triple check all connections are correct. I am using the AI Thinker camera model. The problem comes in when I download the sketch and run it, I am greeted with some kind of CPU restart boot loop that just loops infinitely.

What does this mean? How to fix it?

• tepalia: E (386) esp_core_dump_flash: No core dump partition found! indicates that the ESP32 is trying to write a core dump but cannot find the partition. This typically occurs when there is a crash or reset. forum.arduino.cc/t/esp32-cam-esp-core-dump-flash/1074812

Answer 1

Ensure the correct partition scheme is selected in the Arduino IDE. Go to Tools > Partition Scheme and select "Huge APP (3MB No OTA)" or another suitable scheme.

No "Huge APP partition scheme" (ESP32)
