Support for latest Espressif ESP8266 frameworks: NONOS-SDK 3.0.4 and RTOS-SDK 3.4

[freedib]

This Pull Request implements support for the latest Espressif ESP8266 frameworks

Changes are explained in each commit of the Pull Request

Support for the Espressif NONOS-SDK requires two additional packages

• The latest Espressif NONOS-SDK @ 3.0.5 framework with additional platformio's package.json GIT: https://github.com/freedib/framework-esp8266-nonos-sdk.git
• a new tool called genbin.py in replacement of esptool which can create the two legacy OTA bin files in one call GIT: https://github.com/freedib/tool-genbin.git The builder appends -DSPI_FLASH_SIZE_MAP=n to CCFLAGS for the compiler. main.c should handle this value accordingly to Espressif documentation. OTA is activated the same way than ESP-IDF thru a build.partition in board definition. If used, two bin files are generated, and the first one uploaded. Then, the two bin files can be uploaded to a web server for FOTA update.

Support for the Espressif RTOS-SDK @ 3.4 is very similar to the latest ESP-IDF platform with ESP8266 in mind. Support for old RTOS-SDK @ 1.5 have been removed. It requires one additional package:

• The latest Espressif RTOS-SDK @ 3.4 framework with additional platformio's package.json GIT: https://github.com/freedib/framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk.git All other tools (Cmake and Ninja) are already packaged for platformio. No change are required to boards definition.

Embed_files support have been included in esp8266-nonos-sdk and Arduino builders. It should replace the one proposed in Pull Request #267 to support the new esp8266-rtos-sdk builder

[freedib]

RTOS-SDK @ 3.4 requires a new toolchain-xtensa @ 8.4.0. I packaged it locally for my Linux system, but I could prepare a version suitable for the Registry

[freedib]

tool-genbin have been renamed to tool-genbin-esp8266. GIT: https://github.com/freedib/tool-genbin-esp8266.git

[qnxsgwy]

Thank you for your contribution, hope to support RTOS-SDK 3.4 as soon as possible, the current version is too old

[omar-mohamed-khallaf]

When will it be merged?

[YashxD]

I am sure a lot of folks are eagerly awaiting this PR to be merged. Is there any particular reason it's being held back? Can I contribute in any way?

Any chance to fix it?

[freedib]

Because this pull request have not been merged, tool-genbin-esp8266 have not been added to platformio registry. From your log, it seems also that "pio run" downloads the current espressif8266 framework (version 4.2.0) and not the one of the pull request (version 4.0.1) You have to modify your platformio.ini file to specify where to get components.

If developing for NONOS SDK: [env] platform = https://github.com/freedib/platform-espressif8266.git framework = esp8266-nonos-sdk platform_packages = framework-esp8266-nonos-sdk @ https://github.com/freedib/[email protected] tool-genbin-esp8266 @ https://github.com/freedib/[email protected]

If developing for RTOS SDK on Linux 64: [env] platform = https://github.com/freedib/platform-espressif8266.git framework = esp8266-rtos-sdk platform_packages = framework-esp8266-rtos-sdk @ https://github.com/freedib/[email protected] toolchain-xtensa @ https://github.com/freedib/[email protected] tool-genbin-esp8266 @ https://github.com/freedib/[email protected]

@freedib Thanks it all works except mdns from components.

VScode finds mdns.h library fine, but when i run compilation i see this error.

[freedib]

@h1aji Right. I didn't test mDNS :-( mDNS is not enabled by default. You have to execute "pio run -t menuconfig" to enable it in sdkconfig. In menuconfig, it is in "Component Config" / "mDNS" / "Enable mDNS". When mDNS is activated, the side effect is that IPv6 is automatically enabled ("Component Config" / "LWIP" / "Enable IPv6")

Hallo,

i was searching for a long time and now found this. But i get an error while installing the packages.

Im working on windows.

Thanks.

@Bastian0302 what python version are you using?

[Bastian0302]

I installed 3.10.11 with the check box „add to path“ but still not working.

Update: I uninstalled Paython, deleted .platformio,and isntalled all new. But still same error.

[remuslazar]

@ivankravets it will be really awesome if this PR could get merged! ESP8266 is still an awesome and cheap device to use. 🙏

[jeecrypt]

I would like to return to PlatformIO, but the old version of RTOS SDK does not allow me to do this. I'm really looking forward to the update. I want stability.

[milo1000]

Apparently this project is dead, year passed and nobody cares to merge most important PR.

[cziter15]

@ivankravets is there any chance to get this merged? It might be not so trivial as it links two external dependencies (RTOS sdk repo and tool-genbin), but please at least give it a try.

I'm porting https://github.com/cziter15/ksIotFrameworkLib to espidf, but it would be nice to support esp8266 too.

[tbb98]

@ivankravets @valeros Is it possible to merge this? Even into an another branch, if You can't really test it?
