If the WiFi interface is enabled by module `esp_wifi_any`, binary SDK libraries use the RTT. Therefore, `ztimer` must not use `periph_rtt`as backend, if the WiFi interface is enabled by module `esp_wifi_any`.
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/
```
The modules `newlib, `newlib_syscalls_default` and `stdio_uart` are now used by default for output to the UART interface. This also reduces the dependency rules.
Some SDK interrupt service routines obviously use malloc/free in the interrupt context. Because the rmutex-based lock/unlock approach of the malloc/free function suite of the newlib does not work in the interrupt context, the SDK memory management functions MUST therefore be used. To use the same memory management functions in RIOT as in the SDK, the malloc/free function suite has to be replaced by wrapper functions.
Changes of ETS task handling require the context switch by software interrupt. The context switch based on interrupt is therefore enabled by default. Furthermore, the number of priority levels are increased due to the new additional thread.
