Re: ESP32 CAM, I2S, DMA - questions

Is there anyone at Espressif that can answer my questions since I have been unable to find any Espressif documentation that addresses them?

ESP32 CAM, I2S, DMA - questions

I'm trying to fully understand the CAM demo by igrr - but it seems the demo code does not agree with ESP32 documentation - hence these questions. From The ESP32 Tech ref manual on DMA - descriptors: descriptor parameter EOF set to identify the end of the DMA link list (also NEXT = 0) descriptor para...

Questions - ESP32 Camera beyond JPEG

I have been studying your ESP32 Camera project on github to get an understanding on how I2S in camera mode and DMA works. I have several questions: More than three since there are multiple questions embedded in each below. #1. During the init process of DMA descr - fields EOF and OWNER are set or cl...

Re: ESP32 vs ESP8266 Radio

Thanks for the comments. I had not thought of the rf attenuation if located close to the ground. The commercial product has an ESP8266 attached to the product's PCB along with 5 other microprocessors. It's in close proximity(all enclosed in the same pvc weather protection box) to a 360 watt 12v swit...

ESP32 vs ESP8266 Radio

I currently have a ESP8266 - using the IDF (FreeRTOS V3.0) and am having less than desirable satisfaction with its performance (outside). I am using the ESP8266 WROOM2 with trace antenna. For 2019 I am looking to upgrade to a ESP32 if I can expect better wifi performance. Are the two radios the same...

Re: FreeRtos slow?

Look into using the ULP.

It was designed to do exactly what you are asking.

Don't try to speed up FreeRTOS - that's the wrong approach.

Re: How to implement a simple UART bootloader

The link regarding Kolban's response was about implementing a "custom Bootloader". To get an idea of where it started -- do a google search for "RBOOT" - or use the link below. https://richard.burtons.org/2015/05/ The ESP8266 had a fixed bootloader and no way of implementing an easy OTA. If I'm not ...

For example, when esp_wifi_start returns ESP_ERR_NO_MEM, the recoverable-error code vTaskDelay can be called, in order to get a...

Re: How to implement a simple UART bootloader

maldus: My first suggestion is to study much more on the topic. Your questions suggests you do not know enough to do this yourself and are looking for a solution already designed - which I can tell you is not to be found. As I understand, you have a board which contains an ESP32. It is connected to ...

Re: WiFI events in EMC radiations test

If a remote client connected with your AP -- you will get event - SYSTEM_EVENT_AP_STACONNECTED

If that remote client (STA) is disconnected from your AP - you will get event - SYSTEM_EVENT_AP_STADISCONNECTED

Hope that helps
