Some ESP32 idf issues

[Asanga-Viraj]

@mikee47 I am working on ESP32 using Sming framework. I saw few things (Win 10).

• Sming choco install -y sming.esp32 doesn't install idf-v4.3 from your repository. It installs idf-v4.1.
• Sming re-installation doesn't clean and reinstall ESP32 components.
• Saw many issues with current version such as System.restart, WiFi.Disconnect, etc.

Also just a suggestion, it is better if you can make Sming support with latest release idf (like idf-v4.4.1).

Thanks

@slaff I found a issues in ESP32. WifiStation.connect() is not working. I found esp_wifi_connect() is not calling on this method. My suggestions are below.

• https://github.com/SmingHub/Sming/blob/4.5.0/Sming/Components/Network/Arch/Esp32/Platform/StationImpl.cpp#L120 return esp_wifi_start() == ESP_OK;
• https://github.com/SmingHub/Sming/blob/4.5.0/Sming/Components/Network/Arch/Esp32/Platform/StationImpl.cpp#L125-L126 if(isConnected()) disconnect(); ESP_ERROR_CHECK(esp_wifi_connect()); return true;

Thanks

@Asanga-Viraj thank you for your remarks.

Sming choco install -y sming.esp32 doesn't install idf-v4.3 from your repository. It installs idf-v4.1.

This should be fixes today with this commit.

Sming re-installation doesn't clean and reinstall ESP32 components.

sming.esp32 should be the only package responsible for this.

it is better if you can make Sming support with latest release idf (like idf-v4.4.1).

We usually skip a minor version and jump to the next one. But if you have the time and desire you are free to submit a PR with the needed changes.

@Asanga-Viraj do you have some progress on System.restart() ?

On my ESP8266 board I have to disconnect from the wifi network before calling System.restart() in order not to trigger (some) WD timer. I have to try wifi-less app with Esp32 to verify this.
