Nathaniel Wesley Filardo af426d0315 Networking rampage and accumulated fixes (#3060)
* espconn: remove unused espconn code, take 1

This is the easiest part of https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/3004 .
It removes a bunch of functions that were never called in our tree.

* espconn: De-orbit espconn_gethostbyname

Further work on https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/3004

While here, remove `mqtt`'s charming DNS-retry logic (which is neither
shared with nor duplicated in other modules) and update its :connect()
return value behavior and documentation.

* espconn: remove scary global pktinfo

A write-only global!  How about that.

* net: remove deprecated methods

All the TLS stuff moved over there a long time ago, and
net_createUDPSocket should just do what it says on the tin.

* espconn_secure: remove ESPCONN_SERVER support

We can barely function as a TLS client; being a TLS server seems like a
real stretch.  This code was never called from Lua anyway.

* espconn_secure: more code removal

* espconn_secure: simplify ssl options structure

There is nothing "ssl_packet" about this structure.  Get rid of the
terrifying "pbuffer" pointer.

Squash two structure types together and eliminate an unused field.

* espconn_secure: refactor mbedtls_msg_info_load

Split out espconn_mbedtls_parse, which we can use as part of our effort
towards addressing https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/3032

* espconn_secure: introduce TLS cert/key callbacks

The new feature part of https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware/issues/3032
Subsequent work will remove the old mechanism.

* tls: add deprecation warnings

* luacheck: net.ifinfo is a thing now

* tls: remove use of espconn->reverse

* mqtt: stop using espconn->reverse

Instead, just place the espconn structure itself at the top of the user
data.  This enlarges the structure somewhat but removes one more layer
of dynamic heap usage and NULL checks.

While here, simplify the code a bit.

* mqtt: remove redundant pointer to connect_info

Everywhere we have the mqtt_state_t we also have the lmqtt_userdata.

* mqtt: doc fixes

* mqtt: note bug

* tls: allow :on(...,nil) to unregister a callback

NodeMCU 3.0.0

Join the chat at https://gitter.im/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware Build Status Documentation Status License

A Lua based firmware for ESP8266 WiFi SOC

NodeMCU is an open source Lua based firmware for the ESP8266 WiFi SOC from Espressif and uses an on-module flash-based SPIFFS file system. NodeMCU is implemented in C and is layered on the Espressif NON-OS SDK.

The firmware was initially developed as is a companion project to the popular ESP8266-based NodeMCU development modules, but the project is now community-supported, and the firmware can now be run on any ESP module.

Summary

  • Easy to program wireless node and/or access point
  • Based on Lua 5.1.4 but without debug, io, os and (most of the) math modules
  • Asynchronous event-driven programming model
  • more than 65 built-in modules
  • Firmware available with or without floating point support (integer-only uses less memory)
  • Up-to-date documentation at https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io

LFS support

In July 2018 support for a Lua Flash Store (LFS) was introduced. LFS allows Lua code and its associated constant data to be executed directly out of flash-memory; just as the firmware itself is executed. This now enables NodeMCU developers to create Lua applications with up to 256Kb Lua code and read-only constants executing out of flash. All of the RAM is available for read-write data!

Programming Model

The NodeMCU programming model is similar to that of Node.js, only in Lua. It is asynchronous and event-driven. Many functions, therefore, have parameters for callback functions. To give you an idea what a NodeMCU program looks like study the short snippets below. For more extensive examples have a look at the /lua_examples folder in the repository on GitHub.

-- a simple HTTP server
srv = net.createServer(net.TCP)
srv:listen(80, function(conn)
	conn:on("receive", function(sck, payload)
		print(payload)
		sck:send("HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\n\r\n<h1> Hello, NodeMCU.</h1>")
	end)
	conn:on("sent", function(sck) sck:close() end)
end)
-- connect to WiFi access point
wifi.setmode(wifi.STATION)
wifi.sta.config{ssid="SSID", pwd="password"}

Documentation

The entire NodeMCU documentation is maintained right in this repository at /docs. The fact that the API documentation is maintained in the same repository as the code that provides the API ensures consistency between the two. With every commit the documentation is rebuilt by Read the Docs and thus transformed from terse Markdown into a nicely browsable HTML site at https://nodemcu.readthedocs.io.

Releases

Due to the ever-growing number of modules available within NodeMCU, pre-built binaries are no longer made available. Use the automated custom firmware build service to get the specific firmware configuration you need, or consult the documentation for other options to build your own firmware.

This project uses two main branches, master and dev. dev is actively worked on and it's also where PRs should be created against. master thus can be considered "stable" even though there are no automated regression tests. The goal is to merge back to master roughly every 2 months. Depending on the current "heat" (issues, PRs) we accept changes to dev for 5-6 weeks and then hold back for 2-3 weeks before the next snap is completed.

A new tag is created every time dev is merged back to master. They are listed in the releases section here on GitHub. Tag names follow the <SDK-version>-master_yyyymmdd pattern.
