macOS 15.4
Flash frequency
80MHz
PSRAM enabled
no
Upload speed
460800
Description
After upgrading to arduino=esp32 v3.2.0, when using the Adafruit Neopixel library's simple example sketch to drive WS2812B LEDs, I get this error message and the ESP32-S3 halts:
E (4740) rmt: rmt_new_tx_channel(269): not able to power down in light sleep
If I set USB CDC On Boot: Disabled in the Arduino IDE tools menu, then the problem goes away.
Sketch
#include <Adafruit_NeoPixel.h> #define PIN 14 #define NUMPIXELS 64 Adafruit_NeoPixel pixels(NUMPIXELS, PIN, NEO_RGB + NEO_KHZ800); #define DELAYVAL 20 void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); pixels.begin(); } void loop() { pixels.clear(); for(int i=0; i<NUMPIXELS; i++) { pixels.setPixelColor(i, pixels.Color(0, 8, 0)); // green pixels.show(); delay(DELAYVAL); } }
Debug Message
Turning on verbose logging shows this:

Other Steps to Reproduce
ESP-IDF v5.4.1 introduced a new rmt_tx_channel_config_t::allow_pd parameter which seems to be related to this error, since the "not able to power down in light sleep" message is mentioned in the v5.4.1 RMT API documentation here:
