Failed to get info off device / invalid header: 0xffffffff

Question/Issue:
I’m just starting out with a Freenove ESP32-S3 WROOM board, it’s working in platformio as esp32s3usbotg when I run edge-impulse-daemon I got:

[SER] Serial is connected, trying to read config...
[SER] Failed to get info off device Timeout when waiting for >  (timeout: 5000) onConnected

what should I do?

Hello @diramazioni.

Unfortunately we don’t provide an edge impulse firmware for this board version so you won’t be able to use edge-impulse-daemon to connect the board.

An alternative option is to use the data-forwarder to collect data.

To export your model, you can either choose the Arduino deployment type or the C++. We won’t be able to leverage all the hardware acceleration for the esp32S3 but the standalone example should compile.

Best,
