Re: Job Offer: ESP32 embedded C developer

Why just C instead of C++?

Re: FreeRTOS alternatives

This is absolutely fantastic, thank you so much for all that work and even linking to the headers and whatnot! I will do what I can to throw this information to nuttx and other RTOS's regarding implementation.

Re: FreeRTOS alternatives

Zephyr and NuttX both have some level of ESP32 support. There is work in progress internally to make the WiFi & Bluetooth libraries easier to integrate into different RTOSes, via an abstraction layer. We're keen to see third party RTOSes work well on ESP32. :) This is extremely exciting as it will ...

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

I guess what I myself would want by far the most is more pins (QFN is fine, but a 0.8 mm ball pitch BGA would be even better). I have a few designs which I would like to use the ESP32 in, but the low pin count is a pain for me. I would love to have an extra 10 I/O if not more, and am fine with payin...

Oh wow, that is amazing! Where did you hear this? I can't seem to find it.

Re: Any way to use a more up to date version of GCC?

Oh wow, that is great! Can you comment on which major version (8,7,6) and which minor version we talking when saying recent? For example GCC 8.x (8.1 would be breath taking), GCC 7.x (7.3 vs 7.2 vs etc), GCC 6.x, etc? Out of curiosity, why did Espressif go with GCC instead of LLVM + Clang? Is it bec...

Any way to use a more up to date version of GCC?

The IDF toolchain comes with GCC 5.2.0, and from what I understand even using Espressif's version of crosstool-NG will still use that old version of GCC. This is a GCC version all the way from mid 2015, bringing it to roughly 3 years old by now. https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG Is there any...

Re: missing libraries cstudio, iostream, string etc

Is your file name ending with a .c extension or .cpp?

Re: ESP32 licensing isues with GPLv2 libraries such as Libstdc++ and newlib?

Wow, thank you for the thorough reply. My worries have been diminished to almost nothing based on what you wrote. I will still go to a lawyer to confirm, but it's looking great so far for now. I did find your copyright page in the ESP32 documentation https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/COPYRIGH...

ESP32 licensing isues with GPLv2 libraries such as Libstdc++ and newlib?

From what I can gather, both libstdc++ and newlib are licensed under GPLv2 licenses, and are linked statically with user written software. Due to the viral properties of GPLv2, doesn't that mean any software written for the ESP32 based on the standard Espressif provided IDF toolchain require licensi...
