SPIFFS mounting error

[aErbi]

Hi,

I encounter the following error message after flashing the sketch file:

E (363) SPIFFS: spiffs partition could not be found
An error occurred while mounting SPIFFS

And the screen is not showing anything.
Can someone help me?

Greetings,

Maybe trash will be written to SPIFFS before; first, you need to format the memory. Try a factory reset by keeping the reset button pressed for more than 30 seconds.

Hello,
Thank you for the quick reply.
I am a little confused about the position of the reset button. The position you have marked for the reset button differs from the position of the reset button shown on https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/T-Display-S3.

I mean try function SPIFFS.format();

does your pcb look like that (amoled version)?

mine did and i had the same error when using the preselected "lilygo t-display s3" in adruino as that just doesnt have spiffs template selectable for partition scheme, here are the boardname&settings i used that worked for that pcb, make sure its 1:1 like that, only works with dio and those settings for me:

need to burn bootloader once then just "upload" (not via programmer), sometimes need to upload 2-3x if it gives error msg, no idea why but always works in the end over here

be sure to exchange TFT_eSPI manually like dscribed otherwise you wont get any picture, the other things you can just grab the exact version needed via adruino library manager (check comments in code for version numbers)

took me a few hours of trial and error, hope it can be of help to others too!
