Code works on Arduino IDE but not PlatformIO

Question

For my school assignment, code was provided for the TTGO LoRa32 SX1276 OLED board. When I install the necessary libraries and board on platformIO, and I run the code, the screen on the board stays black. When I open the Serial monitor I get an error (see below).

The Platform.ini file can be seen below for the board I used "ttgo-lora32-v21". I also created another project using "ttgo-lora32-v1", both gave the same result.

Error:

ELF file SHA256: 0000000000000000

I tried creating new platformIO projects using different boards.

platform = espressif32
board = ttgo-lora32-v21
framework = arduino
lib_deps = 
    sandeepmistry/LoRa@^0.8.0
    adafruit/Adafruit GFX Library@^1.11.8
    adafruit/Adafruit SSD1306@^2.5.7

v1

[env:ttgo-lora32-v1]
platform = espressif32
board = ttgo-lora32-v1

Answer 1

The esp32 backtrace is particularly opaque. You need to install the ESP Exception Decoder to make things more readable. Once you have it installed, copy the error text to the decoder. It will tell you what went wrong. This should help.
