Issue to initialize with ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8

Hello all,

I’m trying to use new ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U-N16R8 I just bought to automate a relay.
When trying to install EspHome on the device using “Prepare for first use”, it works but after the installation I get the following error:

and the following logs (it stays the same also when restarting)

And the device does not react after this point, I can only restart, and it does the same thing.

I also tried a lot of different option (board, variant, PSRAM, custom partition…) when compiling the “.bin” file from a yaml file in ESPhome but nothing works, I always end up with the following logs:

Do you have any idea for a resolution?

PS: the link for the board I bought (https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B0D6B2CYNW?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title)

PS2: It is my first post, please don’t hesitate to correct me if my form was not correct :slight_smile:

PS3: I’m able to load program on my board using arduino IDE, so I think the board is working correctly
