Can't make AC868-A6 V1.4Sp work with Arduino IDE - JL_M_88 - 07-01-2026

I just acquired an AC868-A6 V1.4 board from Aliexpress.

I downloaded the lastest KCS_KC868_A6_V2.2.20.bin firmware in it

I want to give a try to Arduino IDE.
I found some ''demo programs'' on the site, such as the one below: (by the way the comment ''Blink Led on PIN0 isn't appropriate !!!) 
Selected ESP32Dev Module board type 
I can compile and download the program.
After downloading the program, the ESP32 will keep reseting indefintely ...
getting this message in the serial monitor:

rst:0x8 (TG1WDT_SYS_RESET),boot:0x17 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 0, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00
modeBig GrinIO, clock div:1
load:0x3fff0030,len:4876

load:0x40080400,len:3500
entry 0x400805b4

Any idea about what can be wrong there ?

Thanks

you can test with our arduino demo source code firstly:

Hello!
That helped !
I was missing the right address for the PCF8574!

Would you have the addresses for all other peripheral devices on the board please ?

Thanks !

JL
