How to Use with W5500 ETH chip

[Wolly300]

Hello together,

I'm using this ESP32-S3 Board with POE.

https://www.waveshare.com/esp32-s3-eth.htm

I used the web installer to install the latest (14.4.1 en) version of Tasmota and hooked up the ESP to my POE switch. The ESP did not connect via ETH, so I configured the Wi-Fi and changed 4 pins for the SPI, but still no ETH connection.

I checked out the release notes, and it says "Support W5500 SPI ethernet using four SPI GPIOs only without IRQ and RESET", the support came with 14.1.0, so I guess it should work.

Where is the problem, what did I forget to configure to get the ETH connection?

I tried to flash the tasmota32s3.bin version of the 14.4.1, but I got image block errors after the restart.

Got it working, forgot executing the EthType 8 command

How did you get it to work?

[Wolly300]

To get the ETH is pretty simple.

First, set up the pin configuration.

• SPI_MOSI
• SPI_MISO
• SPI_CLK
• SPI_RST = Tasmota ETH_POWER
• SPI_IRQ = Tasmota ETH_MDIO
• SPI_CS = Tasmota ETH_MDC

Then enter this command EthType 8 in the console.

I also got the ESP32-S3 version running.

I'm using the ESP to read out my energy meter via SML, so I had to recompile it with the SML functions.

1. Open the current master branch in gitpod (https://gitpod.io#https://github.com/arendst/Tasmota/tree/master
2. Edit the user_config_override.h
3. Compile with this command: platformio run -e tasmota32s3
4. Download the .bin
5. Use ESP Flasher to flash the ESP32 (https://github.com/Jason2866/ESP_Flasher/releases)

Hi there is any TASMOTA functionallity to use an ESP32 with a W5500 as a wifi access point? Thanks

While Tasmota does have the Range Extender feature to bridge traffic to an AP (working for things like using a tablet to have Internet access via that AP), I think that this is implemented with the assumption that the base network is also Wifi, not wired.

I've not verified this limitation, but the linked docs text does suggest "routed to the core WiFi network".
