WLED does not boot on Seeed Studio ESP32-C3 – “Invalid image block, can’t boot” #5227
Description
What happened?
Hello,
I’m trying to run WLED on a Seeed Studio ESP32-C3, but the device keeps rebooting and never boots.
Flashing completes without errors, however the ESP immediately enters a boot loop.
To Reproduce Bug
Use a Seeed Studio ESP32-C3 board (possibly XIAO ESP32-C3).
Flash WLED using esptool on Windows.
Erase flash before flashing.
Flash WLED_0.15.3_ESP32-C3.bin to address 0x0.
Reset or power-cycle the board.
Observe serial output and reboot behavior.
The device immediately enters a boot loop and never starts WLED.
Expected Behavior
The ESP32-C3 should boot normally after flashing and start WLED, either by:
creating the WLED-AP access point, or
connecting to the configured WiFi network.
No continuous reboots should occur.
Install Method
Binary from WLED.me
What version of WLED?
WLED_0.15.3_ESP32-C3.bin
Which microcontroller/board are you seeing the problem on?
ESP32-C3
Relevant log/trace output
Invalid image block, can't boot.
