Hi all,

I have 2 ESP32 boards:

  1. Heltec Automation ESP32 Development Board With 0.96inch OLED

  2. WEMOS WiFi & Bluetooth Battery ESP32

here is my simple code:

#include <stdio.h>
#include "freertos/FreeRTOS.h"
#include "freertos/task.h"
#include "esp_system.h"

void app_main()
{
    printf("hello world\n");
}

it works as expected for the second board, but not the first one.
I have following console output for Heltec board:

Any ideas why and how to solve it?
PS Heltec board works perfect from arduino IDE, so it's not broken.

just found the reason... (as usually after issue described)
printf sends data on different speed. Looks like on 74880...

That board probably uses 26mhz crystal so you need to select it in menuconfig

No, this is not the root.
When I used another console at 115200 a can see loading logs and then noice,
at 74880 I can see noice insead of loading logs and than my output.
So it starts at 115200 and then swith to 74880 somehow. The same code for different boards works different - this is what I didn't expect.
Looking now how to change baudrate for output...

Did you try it?

default ESP32_XTAL_FREQ_40

@chebukin as @negativekelvin has hinted above, you need to modify your project configuration, setting XTAL frequency from the default value of 40MHz to either "Autodetect" or 26MHz.

You can change this setting by running make menuconfig, navigating into Component config > ESP32-specific, and changing "Main XTAL frequency" option. This option is documented here:
http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-reference/kconfig.html#esp32-xtal-freq-sel

The same board works in Arduino because, unlike IDF, in Arduino "Autodetect" option is used as a default.

Yes, that really helps. Thanks a lot!
