The toolchain provides POSIX type definitions for pthread which conflicts with that in RIOT. With the CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS skip the inclusion of the types shipped by the toolchain.
The vendor binary libraries of ESP-IDF are provided as a separate GIT repository. These libraries are defined as separate package for two reasons: 1. RIOT packages don't support to clone GIT repositories recursively; 2. ESP-IDF pulls a lot of other GIT repositories that are not needed when it is cloned recursively.
Checksumming flash is not supported on xtensa platform:
Warn : not implemented yet

https://github.com/espressif/openocd-esp32 is needed.
Example config (when compiled from source):
export OPENOCD="~/esp/openocd-esp32/src/openocd -s ~/esp/openocd-esp32/tcl"
Add `TARGET_ARCH_<ARCH>` for each architecture (e.g. `TARGET_ARCH_CORTEX` for
Cortex M) to allow users to overwrite the target triple for a specific arch
from ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc (or the like) without overwriting it for all others
as well.
Since former ESP32 toolchain versions used POSIX threads, module `pthread` was required. The built-in `cxa_ctor_guards` had to be replaced since they used the `pthread_once` function for singleton objects initialization where the parameter `once` was of incompatible type with that provided by RIOT's `pthread` module. The current ESP32 toolchain version no longer uses POSIX threads. The dependency on module `pthread` as well as according C++ hacks can be removed.
In #12955 optimization was switched to O2 because with the '-Os'
option, the ESP32 hangs sporadically in 'tests/bench*' if
interrupts where disabled too early by benchmark tests.
Since it hasn't been reproduced since and in #13196 O2 was causing
un-explained hardfaults, since the aforementioned issue could not
be reproduced we switch back to Os by removing O2, as Os will be
used by default.
The same tool 'gen_esp32part.py' is used for the generation of partition tables on ESP8266 as well as n ESP32. The tool is therefore added to 'dist/tools/esptool'
It is possible to use different timers as RTC timer for the periph_rtc module. Either the 48-bit RTC hardware timer is used directly or the PLL driven 64-bit system timer emulates a RTC timer. The latter one is much more accurate. Pseudomodule esp_rtc_timer controlls which timer is used. Only if esp_rtc_timer is enabled explicitly, the 48-bit RTC hardware timer is used. Otherwise the 64-bit sytstem timer is used to emulate the RTC timer.
To control the log level and the format of the log output of SDK libraries, a bunch of library-specific printf functions are realized which map the log output from SDK libraries to RIOT's log macros.
To avoid that murdock times out before tests/pkg_spiffs and tests/pkg_littlefs time out, the configured test timeouts for these tests is reduced to 200 seconds which should be enough. An ESP32 needs an average of 60 seconds for these tests, while an ESP8266 needs in average 100 seconds.
To reduce the information that are printed at the console during the startup, special bootloaders are required that suppress the outputs which are only informational. The according bootloader has to be selected during the make process.
If the user or the board definition doesn't enable `esp_wifi` or `esp_eth`, `esp_now` is defined as default netdev.
fixup! cpu/esp32: defines esp_now as default netdev
