When FreeRTOS semaphores, as required by ESP-IDF, are used together with `gnrc_netif`, RIOT may crash if `STATUS_RECEIVE_BLOCKED` is used as a blocking mechanism in the FreeRTOS adaptation layer. The reason for this is that `gnrc_netif` uses thread flags since PR #16748. If the `gnrc_netif` thread is blocked because of a FreeRTOS semaphore, and is thus in `STATUS_RECEIVE_BLOCKED` state, the `_msg_send` function will cause a crash because it then assumes that `target->wait_data` contains a pointer to a message of type `msg_t`, but by using thread flags it contains the flag mask. This situation can happen if the ESP hardware is used while another thread is sending something timer controlled to the `gnrc_netif` thread.
To solve this problem `STATUS_MUTEX_LOCKED` is used instead of `STATUS_RECEIVE_BLOCKED` and `STATUS_SEND_BLOCKED`
To reduce the required RAM in default configuration, the BLE interface is used as netdev_default instead of ESP-NOW. Further network interfaces can be enabled with the modules `esp_now`, `esp_wifi` or `esp_eth`.
A if `netdev_driver_t::confirm_send()` is provided, it provides the
new netdev API. However, detecting the API at runtime and handling
both API styles comes at a cost. This can be optimized in case only
new or only old style netdevs are in use.
To do so, this adds the pseudo modules `netdev_legacy_api` and
`netdev_new_api`. As right now no netdev actually implements the new
API, all netdevs pull in `netdev_legacy_api`. If `netdev_legacy_api` is
in used but `netdev_new_api` is not, we can safely assume at compile
time that only legacy netdevs are in use. Similar, if only
`netdev_new_api` is used, only support for the new API is needed. Only
when both are in use, run time checks are needed.
This provides two helper function to check for a netif if the
corresponding netdev implements the old or the new API. (With one
being the inverse of the other.) They are suitable for constant folding
when only new or only legacy devices are in use. Consequently, dead
branches should be eliminated by the optimizer.
The former FLASH_MODE_{DOUT,DIO,QOUT,QIO} defines are replaced by the corresponding CONFIG_FLASHMODE_{DOUT,DIO,QOUT,QIO} and CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHMODE_{DOUT,DIO,QOUT,QIO} as used by the ESP-IDF. This is also needed for the migration of defining flash mode in Kconfig.
ESP32x SoC use either Xtensa cores or RISC-V cores. The Xtensa vendor code has to be compiled only for ESP32x SoCs that are Xtensa-based. Therefore, MODULE_XTENSA has to depend on HAS_ARCH_ESP_XTENSA instead of HAS_ARCH_ESP
Fixed delay values are replaced by calculated delays measured in CPU cycles in I2C software implementation. The advantage is that for each ESP SoC only a clock calibration offset has to be specified. The delay measured in CPU cycles are then then derived from current CPU frequency for the given bus speed. The disadvantage is that the calculated delays are not as precise as the predefined fixed delays.
This commit changes periph/uart to use ESP-IDF API for ESP32x SoCs. Furthermore, the MCU_* conditionals are inverted so that they can be tested for ESP8266. In all other cases the MCU is any ESP32x SoC
To allow a platform independent implementation of exceptions for different ESP32x SoC variants, the platform specific code for Xtensa based ESP SoCs is moved to a separate platform file `exception_xtensa.c`.
To allow a platform independent implementation of irq_arch for different ESP32x SoC variants, the platform specific code for Xtensa based ESP SoCs is moved to a separate module `esp_xtensa`.
To allow a platform independent implementation of tread_arch for different ESP32x SoC variants, the platform specific code for Xtensa based ESP SoCs is moved to a separate module `esp_xtensa`.
Assertions for uninitialized locks must not be triggered as long as the scheduler is not running. Furthemore, the handling of the __malloc_static_object lock is only necessary for ESP8266.
The directory `dist/tools/esptool` already contains a couple of ESP tools and not only esptool.py. As the location for a couple of ESP related tools, it is more clear to call it `esptools` instead of `esptool`.
Module `esp_idf_nvs_flash` uses C++ code. Since `esp_idf_nvs_flash` module is always enabled on ESP8266, the permanent dependency on `cpp` is correct. But on ESP32, the `esp_idf_nvs_flash` module is only enabled if `esp_wifi_any` is used. Only in that case the compilation should depend on module `cpp`.
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.
Previously, a default value for ESP_WIFI_PASS was intentionally defined only if DOXYGEN was also defined, to allow ESP_WIFI_PASS to be left undefined for using APs without authentication. With PR #17415 the definition was changed to always define a default value for EPS_WIFI_PASS. This made it impossible to use APs without authentication. The commit reverts this change.
The semantics of defining an SSID prefix that overrides the already defined SSID exactly when and only when it is set, and then enabling dynamic SSID generation with that prefix, made handling the parameter definition unnecessarily difficult and hard to understand.
Defining a boolean option that enables dynamic SSID generation, which then simply reuses the defined SSID as a prefix, makes it much more understandable and easier to handle, especially with respect to Kconfig.
On the ESP32 it is often not possible with the I2C software implementation to communicate with an AIP31068 based LCD module. Therefore, the I2C hardware implementation is enabled when the AIP31068 driver is used, but it is more buggy than stable. The timing of the two implementations seems to be almost identical. The only difference is that the hardware implementation clears the bus before each access by sending 10 clock pulses on the SCL line while SDA is LOW. Using the same mechanism during I2C initialization for the software implementation solves the communication problem with the AIP31068.
The same software implementation works reliably with the AIP31068 on the ESP8266.
