Re: esp32 pid controller and cache/mmu for external memory

i found a possible cause since then.

i guess the use of pid 1 was a workaround for this problem.

Re: esp32 pid controller and cache/mmu for external memory

thank you for the comment. but i don't think it explains.

(known erratas etc?) * is the cache tagged with virtual address? (vivt?) * when using pid controller, does the c...

ESP32 different mappings for PRO/APP cpus

hi, reading the ESP32 technical reference manual, it seems that the MMU for the external memory can be programmed to use different virt-to-phys mappings for CPUs. (26.3.2.2) am i reading it correctly? if so, is it expected to actually work? ie. is there any software using the feature? i'm wondering ...
