Plenty of dependency adjustments, printf format specificier updates,
FreeRTOS type and macro name modernisation, not to mention API changes.
Still plenty of legacy/deprecated drivers in use which will need updating.
The following features have been removed due to no longer being available
from the IDF:
- ADC hall effect sensor reading
- Configuration of SD SPI host via sdmmc module (now must be done first
via the spimaster module)
- FAT partition selection on external SD cards; only the first FAT
partition is supported by the IDF now
On the other hand, the eth module now supports the following new chipsets:
- KSZ8001
- KSZ8021
- KSZ8031
- KSZ8051
- KSZ8061
- KSZ8091
- Possibly additional models in the LAN87xx series (the IDF docs aren't
clear on precisely which models are handled)
Further, the sdmmc module is now available on the ESP32-S3 as well.
By not relying on the internal details of the RMT registers. For example
on the esp32s2, the threshold event bits start at bit 12 not bit 24, and
on the esp32s3 the memory buffers are only 48 words not 64. Also the
esp-idf recommends against hooking the rmt ISR in the first place.
Instead, use the published rmt APIs (specifically rmt_write_sample and
rmt_translator_init) and the default rmt ISR, which should be much more
resilient against future esp32 SoC changes.
Slightly reworked embed_lfs.sh to better cope with attribute size changes
in future compiler versions, without needing to be updated again.
RMT register naming changed once again...
If this variable is not set in the config it may contain random data and set the clock source to the REF_CLK
resulting in timing errors, the DHTx, DS18B20 and ws2812 devices to not communicate.
The uzlib and parts of Lua had to be switched over to use the
C standard int types, as their custom typedefs conflicted with
RISC-V toolchain provided typedefs.
UART console driver updated to do less direct register meddling
and use the IDF uart driver interface for setup. Still using our
own ISR rather than the default driver ISR. Down the line we
might want to investigate whether the IDF ISR would be a better
fit.
Lua C modules have been split into common and ESP32/ESP32-S
specific ones. In the future there might also be ESP32-C3
specific modules, which would go into components/modules-esp32c3
at that point.
Our old automatic fixup of flash size has been discarded as it
interferes with the checksumming done by the ROM loader and
results in unbootable systems. The IDF has already taken on
this work via the ESPTOOL_FLASHSIZE_DETECT option, which handles
this situation properly.
