ESP32-EVB reset

[edmondog]

Good evening. I just bought an ESP32-EVB rev-I board from Amazon and it works fine except that the board doesn't reset at power on, but you have to reset it by reset push-button.
I see from the schematic that R24 pullup resistor on the reset line is supposed to be 1K while it's 10K on the board, but noting changes placing a 1K resistor there.
I had to add a 47uF condenser in parallel to the reset button to have it pull down the reset line at boot.
Is this ok on your experience or do I have to do something different?
Best regards.

Probably you saw the wrong schematic. The schematic for revision I is here:

There is already such in revision I, it is called C31.

We experimented a lot with the value of R24 but what we had in revision I along with adding C31 yielded best results. Aka this part of the change log:

Added C31(1uF/10V/10%/X5R/C0603) on the ESP_EN signal and R24's value changed from 1k/0603 to 10k/0603;
