Version of IDF currently installed and how to update to latest

I have not found a clear answer in my searches... How do I tell what version of the idf I have installed? And, I have the following directory that I think is the idf, as added to platformio: /home/mac/.platformio/packages/framework-espidf/ This directory appears to have the git files. Can I cd to fr...

Re: HardwareSerial break detect then read bytes

No. But it turned out to be more complex than this post captures. The UART driver can detect the break. And it will then return received data, but only data streams that fall on 120 byte boundaries. It has been logged as an issue in github, where I describe in gory detail what I think is going on: H...

Re: UART driver low level detals and false break detect

The best I can tell the following is going on. after the break detect, it reads 120 bytes for each UART_DATA event. (i.e. the event is triggered when the fifo gets to 120 chars.) because after 480, it only sees 32 bytes. these bytes are never read, because the 120 threshold is never hit; event not t...

UART driver low level detals and false break detect

Is there anyone here who has detailed knowledge of the inner workings of the uart driver? Any guru's about? ;) I am having problems receiving a 512 byte broadcast. It returns a break detect status after 480 bytes (it is receiving them 120 at a time). It does receive the first 360 bytes, but at that ...

UART receive break detect

I have looked at the .h for the uart. It has a typedef for uart event types. One type is UART_BREAK. The .h file goes on to declare the write function with break, but no mention of reading. I have code that reads based on the break. (I didn't write it...) The data stream is 513 bytes after the break...

Re: ESP-IDF and FreeRTOS

Note that you may get the same effect (code run before FreeRTOS starts) by defining your function as a constructor: void __attribute__((constructor)) my_function(void) { ... } Make sure that the C file where you put this function in has something (another function or a variable or symbol) that gets...

Re: Unable to find include files in freertos folder

The confusion is all my fault. :oops: I stumbled on the relative directory "fix" (i.e. "freertos/FreeRTOSConfig.h") when looking for the file for an issue totally unrelated to the original post of this thread. The unrelated issue (the use of the startup hook) was mixed into this thread, by me, attem...

Re: Unable to find include files in freertos folder

#confussed Adding "freertos/" in front does work and is apparent in many examples. So what's up? But, my confusion stems from yesterday. I swear I looked for that file because I wanted to use to set configUSE_DAEMON_USE_TASK_STARTUP_HOOK And I couldn't find the file FreeRTOSConfig.h. But, today it'...
