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
