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`.
RIOT-OS uses part of Espressif ESP8266 RTOS SDK to build support for
this CPU. The SDK includes some vendor-provided closed source
pre-compiled libraries that we need to modify to adapt to RIOT-OS
usage. This library modifications was done once and uploaded to a fork
of the vendor repository and was provided as an environment variable.
This patch changes two things:
1. It installs the SDK as a RIOT PKG from the new pkg/esp8266_sdk
directory instead of requiring the user to download it separately.
2. It performs the library modifications (symbol renames) on the pkg
Makefile removing the need to use a fork with the modifications applied
and simplifying the SDK update and future modifications.
This change sets the SDK package version (git SHA) to the same one that
our fork was using as a parent in the vendor repository, meaning that
the output libraries are exactly the same as before.
Tested with
```
ESP8266_RTOS_SDK_DIR=/dev/null USEMODULE=esp_log_startup make -C tests/shell BOARD=esp8266-esp-12x flash
```
and verified that the program works. The boot message now includes:
```
ESP8266-RTOS-SDK Version v3.1-51-g913a06a9
```
confirming the SDK version used.
`/dev/null` in the test is just to make sure that no evaluation of
`ESP8266_RTOS_SDK_DIR` in make is affected by the environment variable
value which would be set to the SDK for people who followed the set up
instructions before this change.
Tested the checkout size:
```bash
$ du -hs build/pkg/esp8266_sdk/
124M build/pkg/esp8266_sdk/
```
- Add `WORD_ALIGNED` attribute to potentially unaligned allocations
- Use intermediate cast to `uintptr_t` to silence false positives of
`-Wcast-align`
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'
In vendor startup code, initialization function were called as parameters of assert statement. With DEVELHELP, they are not called since the assert macro does nothing.
Usually, the access to the IROM (flash) memory requires 32-bit word aligned reads. Attempts to access data in the IROM (flash) memory less than 32 bits in size triggers a LoadStoreError exception. With the exception handler from esp-open-rtos it becomes possible to access data in IROM (flash) with a size of less than 32 bits and thus to place .rodata sections in the IROM (flash).
