The project is a Google photo clock and is supposed to be a slightlymodified version of this. for now ive disabled wdt and ntp protocol to diagnose the issue. using a esp32devkit v1 board and ili9341 display and isnt initializing file system. tried different programs to check if there was a fault with esp32 but no errors with read or write. This is the code

this is what i got on the serial monitor
