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.
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`.
This is an implementation of the ESP32 SoftAP mode using the
`esp_wifi_ap` pseudomodule.
