-
-<b>RIOT-Xtensa-ESP</b> is a bare metal implementation of <b>RIOT-OS</b> for <b>ESP32</b> SOCs which supports most features of RIOT-OS. The peripheral SPI and I2C interfaces allow to connect all external hardware modules supported by RIOT-OS, such as sensors and actuators. SPI interface can also be used to connect external IEEE802.15.4 modules to integrate ESP32 boards into a GNRC network.
-
-Although the port does not use the official <b>ESP-IDF</b> (Espresso IoT Development Framework) SDK, it must be installed for compilation. The reason is that the port uses most of the <b>ESP32 SOC definitions</b> provided by the ESP-IDF header files. In addition, it needs the hardware abstraction library (libhal), and the <b>ESP32 WiFi stack binary</b> libraries which are part of the ESP-IDF SDK.

-
-**Please note:** Even if used ESP32 SoC is a dual-core version, RIOT-OS uses only one core.
-
-Rather than using the ESP32 SoC directly, ESP32 boards use an [ESP32 module from Espressif](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/hardware/modules) which integrates additionally to the SoC some key components, like SPI flash memory, SPI RAM, or crystal oscillator. Some of these components are optional. A good overview about available modules can be found in the [Online documentation of ESP-IDF](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/hw-reference/modules-and-boards.html#wroom-solo-and-wrover-modules).
-
-Most common modules used by ESP32 boards are the [ESP32-WROOM-32](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/hw-reference/modules-and-boards.html#esp32-wroom-32) and [ESP32-WROVER](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/hw-reference/modules-and-boards.html#esp32-wrover).
-

-
-## <a name="esp32_limitations"> Limitations of the RIOT port </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-The implementation of RIOT-OS for ESP32 SOCs has the following limitations at the moment:
-
-- Only <b>one core</b> (the PRO CPU) is used because RIOT does not support running multiple threads simultaneously.
-- <b>AP-based WiFi</b> is experimental and not stable.
-- RIOT modules <b>crypto</b> and <b>hashes</b> cannot be used together with modules <b>esp_now</b> and <b>esp_wifi</b>
-- <b>Bluetooth</b> cannot be used at the moment.
-- <b>Flash encryption</b> is not yet supported.
-
-
-# <a name="esp32_toolchain"> Toolchain <a>
-
-Following software components are required for compilation:
-
-- <b>Xtensa GCC</b> compiler suite for ESP32
-- <b>ESP-IDF</b> SDK which includes all ESP32 SOC definitions, the hardware abstraction library <b>```libhal.a```</b>, and the flash programmer tool <b>```esptool.py```</b>
-
-There are two options to install the Toolchain:
-
-- <b>riotdocker</b> image, see section [RIOT Docker Toolchain (riotdocker)](#esp32_riot_docker_toolchain)
-- <b>manual installation</b>, see section [Manual Toolchain Installation](#esp32_manual_toolchain_installation)
-
-## <a name="esp32_riot_docker_toolchain"> RIOT Docker Toolchain (riotdocker) </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-The easiest way to use install the toolchain is the RIOT Docker image ```riotdocker```. The compilation process using Docker consists of two steps
-
-1. making the RIOT application in Docker with command ```make BOARD= ...```
-2. flashing the RIOT application on the host computer with command ```make flash-only BOARD=...```
-
-where step 2 requires that the flasher program ```esptool.py``` is installed.
-
-### <a name="esp32_preparing_the_environment"> Preparing the Environment </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Using RIOT Docker requires at least the following software:
-
-- <b>```Docker```</b> container virtualization software
-- RIOT Docker (<b>```riotdocker```</b>) image
-- flasher tool <b>```esptool.py```</b>
-
-For information about installing Docker on your host, refer to the appropriate manuals for your operating system. For example, the easiest way to install Docker on the Ubuntu/Debian system is:
-```
-sudo apt-get install docker.io
-```
-
-The ESP flasher program <b>```esptool.py```</b> is available at [GitHub](https://github.com/espressif/esptool). Don't use the the ```esptool``` package of your OS. ```esptool.py``` requires either Python 2.7 or Python 3.4 or later. The latest stable version of ```esptool.py``` can be installed with ```pip```:
-```
-pip install esptool
-```
-
-<b>```esptool.py```</b> depends on ```pySerial``` which can be installed either using ```pip```
-
-```
-pip install pyserial
-```
-or the package manager of your OS, for example on Debian/Ubuntu systems:
-```
-apt-get install pyserial
-```
-For more information on ```esptool.py```, please refer the [git repository](https://github.com/espressif/esptool)
-
-Please make sure that ```esptool.py``` is in your ```PATH``` variable.
-
-### <a name="esp32_generating_docker_image"> Generating a riotdocker Image </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-A ```riotdocker``` fork that only installs the ```RIOT-Xtensa-ESP32-toolchain``` is available at [GitHub](https://github.com/gschorcht/riotdocker-Xtensa-ESP.git). After cloning this git repository, you can use branch ```esp32_only``` to generate a Docker image with a size of "only" 990 MByte:
-
-```
-git clone https://github.com/gschorcht/riotdocker-Xtensa-ESP.git
-cd riotdocker-Xtensa-ESP
-git checkout esp32_only
-docker build -t riotbuild .
-```
-A ```riotdocker``` version that contains the toolchains for all different RIOT platforms can be found at [GitHub](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/riotdocker). However, the Docker image generated from the this Docker file has a size of about 1.5 GByte.
-
-Once a Docker image has been created, it can be started with the following commands while in the RIOT root directory:
-```
-cd /path/to/RIOT
-docker run -i -t --privileged -v /dev:/dev -u $UID -v $(pwd):/data/riotbuild riotbuild
-```
-**Please note:** RIOT's root directory ```/path/to/RIOT``` becomes visible as the home directory of the ```riotbuild``` user in the Docker image. That is, the output of compilations performed in RIOT Docker is also accessible on the host system.
-
-Please refer the [RIOT wiki](https://github.com/RIOT-OS/RIOT/wiki/Use-Docker-to-build-RIOT) on how to use the Docker image to compile RIOT OS.
-
-### <a name="esp32_using_existing_docker_image"> Using an Existing riotdocker Image </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Alternatively, an existing Docker image from Docker Hub can be used. You can either pull and start the [schorcht/riotbuild_esp32](https://hub.docker.com/r/schorcht/riotbuild_esp32) Docker image which only contains the ```RIOT-Xtensa-ESP32-toolchain``` using
-```
-cd /path/to/RIOT
-docker run -i -t --privileged -v /dev:/dev -u $UID -v $(pwd):/data/riotbuild schorcht/riotbuild_esp32
-```
-or the [riot/riotbuild](https://hub.docker.com/r/riot/riotbuild/) Docker image (size is about 1.5 GB) which contains the toolchains for all platforms using
-```
-cd /path/to/RIOT
-docker run -i -t --privileged -v /dev:/dev -u $UID -v $(pwd):/data/riotbuild riot/riotbuild
-```
-### <a name="esp32_flashing_using_docker"> Make Process with Docker Image </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Using Docker, the make process consists of the following two steps:
-
-1. **making** the RIOT binary **within a RIOT Docker image**
-2. **flashing** the RIOT binary using a flasher program **on the host system**
-
-Once the RIOT Docker image has been started from RIOT's root directory, a RIOT application can be compiled inside the Docker using the make command as usual, for example:
-
-```
-make BOARD=esp32-esp-12x -C tests/shell ...
-```
-This will generate a RIOT binary in ELF format.
-
-**Please note:** You can't use the ```flash``` target inside the Docker image.
-
-The RIOT binary has to be flash outside docker on the host system. Since the Docker image was stared while in RIOT's root directory, the output of the compilations is also accessible on the host system. On the host system, the ```flash-only``` target can then be used to flash the binary.
-```
-make flash-only BOARD=esp32-esp-12x -C tests/shell
-```
-
-
-
-## <a name="esp32_manual_toolchain_installation"> Manual Toolchain Installation </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-A more difficult way to install the toolchain is the manual installation of required components as described below.
-
-**Please note:** To use the precompiled toolchain the following packages (Debian/Ubuntu) have to be installed:<br> ```build-essential``` ```cppcheck``` ```coccinelle``` ```curl``` ```doxygen``` ```git``` ```graphviz``` ```make``` ```pcregrep``` ```python``` ```python-serial``` ```python3``` ```python3-flake8``` ```unzip``` ```wget```
-
-### <a name="esp32_installation_of_xtensa_gcc"> Installation of Xtensa GCC compiler suite </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Xtensa GCC compiler for ESP32 can be downloaded and installed as precompiled binary archive from GitHub.
-
-```
-mkdir -p $HOME/esp
-cd $HOME/esp
-git clone https://github.com/gschorcht/xtensa-esp32-elf.git
-```
-Once the compiler is installed you can add the binary directory to your ```PATH``` variable.
-```
-export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin
-```
-
-### <a name="esp32_installation_of_esp_idf"> Installation of ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-ESP-IDF, the official SDK from Espressif, can be downloaded and installed as GIT repository.
-
-```
-cd $HOME/esp
-git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
-cd esp-idf
-git checkout -q f198339ec09e90666150672884535802304d23ec
-cd components/esp32/lib
-git checkout -q 534a9b14101af90231d40a4f94924d67bc848d5f
-```
-
-**Please note:** Please take care to checkout correct branches which were used for the port. Newer versions might also work but were not tested.
-
-Since we only use a few header files, ESP-IDF does not need to be compiled in any way. To use the installed ESP-IDF, just set the variable ```ESP32_SDK_DIR``` accordingly.
-```
-export ESP32_SDK_DIR=$HOME/esp/esp-idf
-```
-
-
-# <a name="esp32_flashing_the_device"> Flashing the Device </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-## <a name="esp32_toolchain_usage"> Toolchain Usage </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Once you have installed all required components, you should have the following directories.
-
-```
-/path/to/esp/esp-idf
-/path/to/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf
-```
-
-To use the toolchain and optionally the SDK, please check that your environment variables are set correctly to
-
-```
-export ESP32_SDK_DIR=/path/to/esp/esp-idf
-export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin
-```
-
-To compile an application for an ESP32 board, change to RIOT's root directory and execute the make command, e.g.,
-```
-make flash BOARD=esp32-generic -C tests/shell [Compile Options]
-```
-where the ```BOARD``` variable specifies the generic ESP32 board definition and option ```-C``` the directory of application.
-
-## <a name="esp32_compile_options"> Compile Options </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-The compilation process can be controlled by a number of variables for the make command:
-
-<center>
-
-Option | Values | Default | Description
--------|--------|---------|------------
-CONFIGS | string | empty | Override default board and driver configurations, see section [Application-Specific Configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-FLASH_MODE | dout, dio, qout, qio | dout | Set the flash mode, see section [Flash Modes](#esp32_flash_modes)
-PORT | /dev/* | /dev/ttyUSB0 | Set the port for flashing the firmware.
-QEMU | 0, 1 | 0 | Generate an image for QEMU, see section [QEMU Mode and GDB](#esp32_qemu_mode_and_gdb).
-
-</center><br>
-
-Optional features of ESP32 can be enabled by ```USEMODULE``` definitions in the makefile of the application. These are:
-
-<center>
-
-Module | Description
--------|------------
-esp_now | Use the built-in WiFi module with the ESP-NOW protocol as ```netdev``` network device, see section [ESP-NOW Network Interface](#esp32_esp_now_network_interface).
-esp_eth | Use the Ethernet MAC (EMAC) interface as ```netdev``` network device, see section [Ethernet Network Interface](#esp32_ethernet_network_interface).
-esp_gdb | Enable the compilation with debug information for debugging with [QEMU and GDB](#esp32_qemu_mode_and_gdb) (```QEMU=1```) or via [JTAG interface with OpenOCD](#esp32_jtag_debugging).
-esp_i2c_hw | Use the hardware I2C implementation, see section [I2C Interfaces](#esp32_i2c_interfaces).
-esp_idf_heap | Use the ESP-IDF heap implementation, see section [ESP-IDF Heap Implementation](#esp32_esp_idf_heap_implementation).
-esp_spiffs | Enable the optional SPIFFS drive in on-board flash memory, see section [SPIFFS Device](#esp32_spiffs_device).
-esp_spi_ram | Enable the optional SPI RAM, see section [SPI RAM Modules](#esp32_spi_ram).
-esp_can | Enable the ESP32 CAN device, see section [CAN Interfaces](#esp32_can_interfaces).
-
-</center>
-
-For example, to activate the a SPIFFS drive in on-board flash memory, the makefile of application has simply to add the ```esp_spiffs``` module to ```USEMODULE``` make variable:
-```
-USEMODULE += esp_spiffs
-```
-
-Modules can be also be activated temporarily at the command line when calling the make command:
-```
-USEMODULE="esp_spiffs" make BOARD=...
-```
-
-[comment]: <> (\anchor esp32_flash_modes)
-## <a name="esp32_flash_modes"> Flash Modes </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-The ```FLASH_MODE``` make command variable determines the mode that is used for flash access in normal operation.
-
-The flash mode determines whether 2 data lines (```dio``` and ```dout```) or 4 data lines (```qio``` and ```qout```) for addressing and data access. For each data line, one GPIO is required. Therefore, using ```qio``` or ```qout``` increases the performance of SPI Flash data transfers, but uses two additional GPIOs (GPIO9 and GPIO10). That is, in this flash modes these GPIOs are not available for other purposes. If you can live with lower flash data transfer rates, you should always use ```dio``` or ```dout``` to keep GPIO9 and GPIO10 free for other purposes.
-
-For more information about these flash modes, refer the documentation of [esptool.py](https://github.com/espressif/esptool/wiki/SPI-Flash-Modes).

-
-## <a name="esp32_esp_idf_heap_implementation"> ESP-IDF Heap Implementation </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-ESP-IDF SDK provides a complex heap implementation that supports multiple heap segments in different memory areas such as DRAM, IRAM, and PSRAM. Whenever you want to use these memory areas as heap, you have to use the heap implementation from the ESP-IDF SDK. ESP-IDF heap is not used by default.

-
-**Please note:** GPIOs that can be used as ADC channels are also available as low power digital inputs/outputs in deep sleep mode.

-
-**Please note:** GPIO2 becomes the SPI MISO signal for boards that use the HSPI interface as SD-Card interface in 4-bit SD mode. On these boards all signals of the SD-Card interface are pulled up. Because of the bootstrapping functionality of GPIO2, it can become necessary to either press the **Boot** button, remove the SD card or remove the peripheral hardware to flash RIOT.

-[comment]: <> (\anchor esp32_adc_channels)
-## <a name="esp32_adc_channels"> ADC Channels </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-ESP32 integrates two 12-bit ADCs (ADC1 and ADC2) capable of measuring up to 18 analog signals in total. Most of these ADC channels are either connected to a number of integrated sensors like a Hall sensors, touch sensors and a temperature sensor or can be connected with certain GPIOs. Integrated sensors are disabled in RIOT's implementation and are not accessible. Thus, up to 18 GPIOs, can be used as ADC inputs:
-
-- ADC1 supports 8 channels: GPIOs 32-39
-- ADC2 supports 10 channels: GPIOs 0, 2, 4, 12-15, 25-27
-
-These GPIOs are realized by the RTC unit and are therefore also called RTC GPIOs or RTCIO GPIOs.
-
-**Please note:** GPIO37 and GPIO38 are usually not broken out on ESP32 boards and are therefore not usable.
-
-The GPIOs that can be used as ADC channels for a given board are defined by the <b>```ADC_GPIOS```</b> macro in the board-specific peripheral configuration. This configuration can be changed by [application-specific configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-
-Example:
-```
-#define ADC_GPIOS { GPIO0, GPIO2, GPIO4 }
-```
-
-The order of the listed GPIOs determines the mapping between the RIOT's ADC lines and the GPIOs. The maximum number of GPIOs in the list is ```ADC_NUMOF_MAX``` which is defined to be 16.
-
-<b>```ADC_NUMOF```</b> is determined automatically from ```ADC_GPIOS``` list and must not be changed.
-
-**Please note:**
-- ```ADC_GPIOS``` must be defined even if there are no GPIOs that could be used as ADC channels on the board. In this case, an empty list hast to be defined which just contains the curly braces.
-- As long as the GPIOs listed in ADC_GPIOS are not initialized as ADC channels with the ```adc_init``` function, they can be used for other purposes.
-
-For each ADC line, an attenuation of the input signal can be defined separately with the ```adc_set_attenuation```function.
-
-```
-extern int adc_set_attenuation(adc_t line, adc_attenuation_t atten);
-```
-
-This results in different full ranges of the measurable voltage at the input. The attenuation can be set to 0 dB, 3 dB, 6 dB and 11 dB, with 11 dB being the standard attenuation. Since an ADC input is measured against a reference voltage Vref of 1.1 V, approximately the following measurement ranges are given when using a corresponding attenuation:
-
-<center>
-
-Attenuation | Voltage Range | Symbol
-----------------|-------------------|----------------------
- 0 dB | 0 ... 1.1V (Vref) | ADC_ATTENUATION_0_DB
- 3 dB | 0 ... 1.5V | ADC_ATTENUATION_3_DB
- 6 dB | 0 ... 2.2V | ADC_ATTENUATION_6_DB
-11 dB (default) | 0 ... 3.3V | ADC_ATTENUATION_11_DB
-
-</center>
-
-**Please note:** The reference voltage Vref can vary from device to device in the range of 1.0V and 1.2V. The Vref of a device can be read with the ```adc_vref_to_gpio25``` function at GPIO 25.<br>
-```
-extern int adc_vref_to_gpio25 (void);
-```
-
-For that purpose GPIO25 is initialized automatically as ADC channel and is connected internally to Vref to measure the current voltage. Once the initialization is finished and the function returns with success, the current voltage can be read from GPIO25. The results of the ADC input can then be adjusted accordingly. The ```adc_vref_to_gpio25``` function can be used to determine the current voltage at ESP32.

-
-The ESP32 has two built-in I2C hardware interfaces that support I2C bus speed up to 400 kbps (```I2C_SPEED_FAST```).
-
-The board-specific configuration of the I2C interface <b>```I2C_DEV(n)```</b> requires the definition of
-
-- <b>```I2Cn_SPEED```</b>, the bus speed,
-- <b>```I2Cn_SCL```</b>, the GPIO used as SCL signal, and
-- <b>```I2Cn_SDA```</b>, the GPIO used as SDA signal,
-
-where ```n``` can be 0 or 1. If they are not defined, the I2C interface ```I2C_DEV(n)``` is not used.
-
-Example:
-```
-#define I2C0_SPEED I2C_SPEED_FAST
-#define I2C0_SCL GPIO22
-#define I2C0_SDA GPIO21
-
-#define I2C1_SPEED I2C_SPEED_NORMAL
-#define I2C1_SCL GPIO13
-#define I2C1_SDA GPIO16
-```
-
-**Please note:** The configuration of the I2C interfaces ```I2C_DEV(n)``` must be in continuous ascending order of n.
-
-<b>```I2C_NUMOF```</b> is determined automatically from board-specific peripheral definitions of ```I2Cn_SPEED```, ```I2Cn_SCK```, and ```I2Cn_SDA```.
-
-The following table shows the default configuration of I2C interfaces used for a large number of boards. It can be changed by [application-specific configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-

-
-Device |Signal|Pin |Symbol |Remarks

- I2C_DEV(0) | SDA | GPIO21 | ```I2C0_SDA``` |- |
-
-</center>
-
-**Please note:** The GPIOs listed in the configuration are only initialized as I2C signals when the ```periph_i2c``` module is used. Otherwise they are not allocated and can be used for other purposes.
-
-Beside the I2C hardware implementation, a I2C bit-banging protocol software implementation can be used. This implementation allows bus speeds up to 1 Mbps (```I2C_SPEED_FAST_PLUS```). It can be activated by adding
-```
-USEMODULE += esp_i2c_hw
-```
-to application's makefile. The Disadvantage of the software implementation is that it uses busy waiting.
-
-**Please note:** The hardware implementation seems to be very poor and faulty. I2C commands in the I2C command pipeline are sporadically not executed. A number of ACK errors and timeouts caused by protocol errors are the result. The hardware implementation is recommended only if they can be tolerated. Therefore, the software implementation is used by default.

-## <a name="esp32_pwm_channels"> PWM Channels </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-ESP supports two types of PWM generators
-
-- one LED PWM controller (LEDPWM) with 16 channels, and
-- two high-speed Motor Control PWM controllers (MCPWM) with 6 channels each.
-
-The PWM implementation uses the ESP32's high-speed MCPWM modules. Reason is that the LED PWM controller only supports resolutions of powers of two.
-
-ESP32 has 2 MCPWM modules, each with up to 6 channels (```PWM_CHANNEL_NUM_DEV_MAX```). Thus, the maximum number of PWM devices is 2 and the maximum total number of PWM channels is 12. These 2 MCPWM devices are used as RIOT PWM devices ```PWM_DEV(0)``` and ```PWM_DEV(1)```.
-
-The GPIOs that can be used as PWM channels of RIOT's PWM devices are defined by the <b>```PWM0_GPIOS```</b> and <b>```PWM1_GPIOS```</b> macros in the board-specific peripheral configuration. This configuration can be changed by [application specific configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-
-Example:
-```
-#define PWM0_GPIOS { GPIO9, GPIO10 }
-#define PWM1_GPIOS { }
-```
-
-The order of the listed GPIOs determines the mapping between RIOT's PWM channels and the GPIOs. Board definitions usually declare a number of GPIOs as PWM channels.
-
-**Please note:** The definition of ```PWM0_GPIOS``` and ```PWM1_GPIOS``` can be omitted or empty. In the latter case, they must at least contain the curly braces. The corresponding PWM device can not be used in this case.
-
-<b>```PWM_NUMOF```</b> is determined automatically from the PWM0_GPIOS and PWM1_GPIOS definitions and must not be changed.
-
-**Please note:** As long as the GPIOs listed in ```PWM0_GPIOS``` and ```PMW1_GPIOS``` are not initialized as PWM channels with the ```pwm_init``` function, they are not allocated and can be used other purposes.

-
-ESP32 integrates four SPI controllers:
-
-- controller SPI0 is reserved for caching the flash memory
-- controller SPI1 is reserved for interface <b>```FSPI```</b> to external memories like flash and PSRAM
-- controller SPI2 realizes interface <b>```HSPI```</b> that can be used for peripherals
-- controller SPI3 realizes interface <b>```VSPI```</b> that can be used for peripherals
-
-Thus, a maximum of two SPI controllers can be used as peripheral interfaces:
-
-- <b>```VSPI```</b>
-- <b>```HSPI```</b>
-
-All SPI interfaces could be used in quad SPI mode, but RIOT's low level device driver doesn't support it.
-
-The board-specific configuration of the SPI interface <b>```SPI_DEV(n)```</b> requires the definition of
-
-- <b>```SPIn_CTRL```</b>, the SPI controller which is used for ```SPI_DEV(n)```, can be ```VSPI``` or ```HSPI```,
-- <b>```SPIn_SCK```</b>, the GPIO used as clock signal for ```SPI_DEV(n)```,
-- <b>```SPIn_MISO```</b>, the GPIO used as MISO signal for ```SPI_DEV(n)```,
-- <b>```SPIn_MOSI```</b>, the GPIO used as MOSI signal for ```SPI_DEV(n)```, and
-- <b>```SPIn_CS0```</b>, the GPIO used as CS signal for ```SPI_DEV(n)``` when the cs parameter in spi_acquire is ```GPIO_UNDEF```,
-
-where ```n``` can be 0 or 1. If they are not defined, the SPI interface ```SPI_DEV(n)``` is not used.
-
-Example:
-```
-#define SPI0_CTRL VSPI
-#define SPI0_SCK GPIO18 /* SCK Periphery */
-#define SPI0_MISO GPIO19 /* MISO Periphery */
-#define SPI0_MOSI GPIO23 /* MOSI Periphery */

-#define SPI1_MISO GPIO12 /* MISO Camera */
-#define SPI1_MOSI GPIO13 /* MOSI Camera */
-#define SPI1_CS0 GPIO15 /* CS0 Camera */
-```
-
-The pin configuration of ```VSPI``` interface and the ```HSPI``` interface can be changed by [application specific configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-
-**Please note:**
-- The configuration of the SPI interfaces ```SPI_DEV(n)``` should be in continuous ascending order of ```n```.
-- The order in which the interfaces ```VSPI``` and ```HSPI``` are used doesn't matter. For example, while one board may only use the ```HSPI``` interface as ```SPI_DEV(0)```, another board may use the ```VSPI``` interface as ```SPI_DEV(0)``` and the ```HSPI``` interface as ```SPI_DEV(1)```.
-- The GPIOs listed in the configuration are first initialized as SPI signals when the corresponding SPI interface is used by calling either the ```spi_init_cs``` function or the ```spi_acquire``` function. That is, they are not allocated as SPI signals before and can be used for other purposes as long as the SPI interface is not used.
-- GPIO2 becomes the MISO signal in SPI mode on boards that use the HSPI as the SD card interface in 4-bit SD mode. Because of the bootstrapping functionality of the GPIO2, it can be necessary to either press the **Boot** button, remove the SD card or remove the peripheral hardware to flash RIOT.

-
-The ESP32 intregates a CAN controller which is compatible with the NXP SJA1000 CAN controller. Thus, it is CAN 2.0B specification compliant and supports two message formats:
-
-- Base Frame Format (11-bit ID)
-- Extended Frame Format (29-bit ID)
-
-**Please note:**
-- ESP32 CAN does not support CAN-FD and is not CAN-FD tolerant.
-- ESP32 CAN does not support SJA1000's sleep mode and wake-up functionality.
-
-As with the SJA1000, the ESP32 CAN controller provides only the data link layer and physical layer signaling sublayer. Therefore, depending on the physical layer requirements, an external transceiver module is required which converts the CAN-RX and CAN-TX signals of the ESP32 into CAN_H and CAN_L bus signals, e.g., the MCP2551 or SN65HVD23X transceiver for compatibility with ISO 11898-2.
-
-The ```esp_can``` module realizes a low-level CAN driver interface for the ESP32 CAN controller and provides a CAN DLL device that can be used with RIOT's CAN protocol stack. It uses the ESP32 CAN controller in SJA1000 PeliCAN mode. Please refer the [SJA1000 Datasheet](https://www.nxp.com/documents/data_sheet/SJA1000.pdf) for detailed information about the CAN controller and its programming.
-
-The pin configuration of the CAN interface is usually defined in board specific peripheral configuration by
-
-- <b>```CAN_TX```</b>, the GPIO used as TX tranceiver signal, and
-- <b>```CAN_RX```</b>, the GPIO used as RX tranceiver signal.
-
-If the pin configuration is not defined, the following default configuration is used which can be overridden by the application, see section [Application-Specific Configurations](#esp32_application_specific_configurations).
-
-Device |Signal|Pin |Symbol |Remarks
-:-----------|:-----|:-------|:--------------|:----------------
-CAN | TX | GPIO5 |```CAN_TX``` | optional, can be overridden
-CAN | RX | GPIO35 |```CAN_RX``` | optional, can be overridden
-
-Example:
-```
-#define CAN_TX GPIO10 /* CAN TX tranceiver signal */
-#define CAN_RX GPIO9 /* CAN RX tranceiver signal */
-```
-
-<b>```CAN_DLL_NUMOF```</b> is not defined by the ```esp_can``` module. It uses the default value of 1. If you have further CAN interfaces, make sure to define the correct value of ```CAN_DLL_NUMOF```.
-
-If the board has an external transceiver module connected to the ESP32 on board, the ```esp_can``` module should be enabled by default in board's ```Makefile.dep``` when module ```can``` is used.
-```
-ifneq (,$(filter can,$(USEMODULE)))

-The ESP32 can use external SPI RAM connected through the FSPI interface. For example, all boards that use the [ESP32-WROVER modules](https://www.espressif.com/en/products/hardware/modules) have already integrated such SPI RAM.
-
-However, the external SPI RAM requires 4 data lines and thus can only be used in QOUT (quad output) or QIO (quad input/output) flash mode, which makes GPIO9 and GPIO10 unavailable for other purposes. Therefore, if needed, the SPI RAM must be explicitly enabled in the makefile of the application.
-```
-USEMODULE += esp_spi_ram
-```
-
-**Please note:**
-- When the SPI RAM is enabled using the ```esp_spi_ram```, the ESP32 uses four data lines to access the external SPI RAM in QOUT (quad output) flash mode. Therefore, GPIO9 and GPIO10 are used as SPI data lines and are not available for other purposes.
-- Enabling SPI RAM for modules that don't have SPI RAM may lead to boot problems for some modules. For others is simply throws an error message.

-When SPIFFS is enabled, the MTD system drive is formatted with SPIFFS the first time the system is started. The start address of the MTD system drive in the SPI flash memory is defined by the board configuration:
-```

-With ESP-NOW, the ESP32 provides a connectionless communication technology, featuring short packet transmission. It applies the IEEE802.11 Action Vendor frame technology, along with the IE function developed by Espressif, and CCMP encryption technology, realizing a secure, connectionless communication solution.
-
-The RIOT port for ESP32 implements in module ```esp_now``` a ```netdev``` driver which uses ESP-NOW to provide a link layer interface to a meshed network of ESP32 nodes. In this network, each node can send short packets with up to 250 data bytes to all other nodes that are visible in its range.
-
-**Please note:** Due to symbol conflicts in the ```esp_idf_wpa_supplicant_crypto``` module used by the ```esp_now``` with RIOT's ```crypto``` and ```hashes``` modules, ESP-NOW cannot be used for application that use these modules. Therefore, the module ```esp_now``` is not enabled automatically if the ```netdev_default``` module is used. Instead, the application has to add the ```esp_now``` module in its makefile when needed.<br>
-```
-USEMODULE += esp_now
-```
-
-For ESP-NOW, ESP32 nodes are used in WiFi SoftAP + Station mode to advertise their SSID and become visible to other ESP32 nodes. The SSID of an ESP32 node is the concatenation of the prefix ```RIOT_ESP_``` with the MAC address of its SoftAP WiFi interface. The driver periodically scans all visible ESP32 nodes.
-
-The following parameters are defined for ESP-NOW nodes. These parameters can be overriden by [application-specific board configurations](#esp32_application_specific_board_configuration).

-# <a name="esp32_application_specific_configurations"> Application-Specific Configurations </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-The board-specific configuration files ```board.h``` and ```periph_conf.h``` as well well as the driver parameter configuration files ```<driver>_params.h``` define the default configurations for peripherals and device driver modules. These are, for example, the GPIOs used, bus interfaces used or available bus speeds. Because there are many possible configurations and many different application requirements, these default configurations are usually only a compromise between different requirements.
-
-Therefore, it is often necessary to change some of these default configurations for individual applications. For example, while many PWM channels are needed in one application, another application does not need PWM channels, but many ADC channels.
-
-There are two ways to give the application the ability to change some of these default configurations:
-
-- make variable ```CONFIGS```
-- application-specific board or driver configuration file
-
-
-## <a name="esp32_config_make_variable"> Make Variable ```CONFIGS``` </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-
-Using the ```CONFIGS``` make variable at the command line, board or driver parameter definitions can be overridden.
-
-Example:
-```
-CONFIGS='-DESP_LCD_PLUGGED_IN=1 -DLIS3DH_PARAM_INT2=GPIO4'
-```
-
-When a larger number of board definitions needs be overridden, this approach becomes impractical. In that case, an application-specific board configuration file located in application directory can be used, see sections below.
-
-## <a name="esp32_application_specific_board_configuration"> Application-Specific Board Configuration </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-To override default board configurations, simply create an application-specific board configuration file ```$APPDIR/board.h``` in the source directory ```$APPDIR``` of the application and add the definitions to be overridden. To force the preprocessor to include board's original ```board.h``` after that, add the ```include_next``` preprocessor directive as the <b>last</b> line.
-
-For example to override the default definition of the GPIOs that are used as PWM channels, the application-specific board configuration file ```$APPDIR/board.h``` could look like the following:
-```
-#ifdef CPU_ESP32
-#define PWM0_CHANNEL_GPIOS { GPIO12, GPIO13, GPIO14, GPIO15 }
-#endif
-
-#include_next "board.h"
-```
-
-It is important to ensure that the application-specific board configuration ```$APPDIR/board.h``` is included first. Insert the following line as the <b>first</b> line to the application makefile ```$APPDIR/Makefile```.
-```
-INCLUDES += -I$(APPDIR)
-```
-
-**Please note:** To make such application-specific board configurations dependent on the ESP32 MCU or a particular ESP32 board, you should always enclose these definitions in the following constructs
-```
-#ifdef CPU_ESP32
-...
-#endif
-
-#ifdef BOARD_ESP32_WROVER_KIT
-...
-#endif
-```
-
-## <a name="esp32_application_specific_driver_configuration"> Application-Specific Driver Configuration </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-Using the approach for overriding board configurations, the parameters of drivers that are typically defined in ```drivers/<device>/include/<device>_params.h``` can be overridden. For that purpose just create an application-specific driver parameter file ```$APPDIR/<device>_params.h``` in the source directory ```$APPDIR``` of the application and add the definitions to be overridden. To force the preprocessor to include driver's original ```<device>_params.h``` after that, add the ```include_next``` preprocessor directive as the <b>last</b> line.
-
-For example, to override a GPIO used for LIS3DH sensor, the application-specific driver parameter file ```$APPDIR/<device>_params.h``` could look like the following:
-```
-#ifdef CPU_ESP32
-#define LIS3DH_PARAM_INT2 (GPIO_PIN(0, 4))
-#endif
-
-#include_next "lis3dh_params.h"
-```
-
-It is important to ensure that the application-specific driver parameter file ```$APPDIR/<device>_params.h``` is included first. Insert the following line as the <b>first</b> line to the application makefile ```$APPDIR/Makefile```.
-```
-INCLUDES += -I$(APPDIR)
-```
-
-**Pleae note:** To make such application-specific board configurations dependent on the ESP32 MCU or a particular ESP32 board, you should always enclose these definitions in the following constructs:

-
-This JTAG interface can be used with OpenOCD and GDB to debug your software on instruction level. When you compile your software with debugging information (module ```esp_gdb```) you can also debug on source code level as well.
-
-**Please note:**
-When debugging, the GPIOs used for the JTAG interface must not be used for anything else.
-
-Detailed information on how to configure the JTAG interface of the ESP32 and to setup of OpenOCD and GDB can be found in section JTAG Debugging in the [ESP-IDF Programming Guide](https://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/api-guides/jtag-debugging/index.html).
-
-## <a name="esp32_qemu_mode_and_gdb"> QEMU Mode and GDB </a> [[TOC](#esp32_toc)]
-
-When you execute command ```make flash``` with QEMU mode enabled (```QEMU=1```), instead of loading the image to the target hardware, a binary image called ```esp32flash.bin``` is created in the target directory. Furthermore, two ROM binary files ```rom.bin``` and ```rom1.bin``` are copied to the target directory. This files file can then be used together with QEMU to debug the code in GDB.
-
-The binary image can be compiled with debugging information using module ```esp_gdb``` or optimized without debugging information (default). The latter one is the default. The version with debugging information can be debugged in source code while the optimized version can only be debugged in assembler mode.
-
-To use QEMU, you have to install QEMU for Xtensa with ESP32 machine implementation as following.
-
-```
-cd $HOME/src
-git clone git://github.com/Ebiroll/qemu_esp32
-cp qemu_esp32/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb $HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.qemu
-rm -rf qemu_esp32
-
-git clone git://github.com/Ebiroll/qemu-xtensa-esp32
-cd qemu-xtensa-esp32
-./configure --disable-werror --prefix=$HOME/esp/qemu-esp32 --target-list=xtensa-softmmu,xtensaeb-softmmu
-make install
-cd ..; rm -rf qemu-xtensa-esp32 # optional
-```
-
-Once the compilation has been finished, QEMU for Xtensa with ESP32 machine implementation should be available in ```$HOME/esp/qemu-esp32``` and you can change to your application target directory to start it in one terminal window , for example
-
-```
-cd $HOME/src/RIOT-Xtensa-ESP/tests/shell/bin/esp32-generic
-$HOME/esp/qemu-esp32/bin/qemu-system-xtensa -d guest_errors,unimp -cpu esp32 -M esp32 -m 4M -S -s > io.txt
-```
-where ```$HOME/src/RIOT-Xtensa-ESP``` is the root directory of RIOT and ```tests/shell``` is the application.
-
-**Please note:**
-QEMU starts always the files ```esp32flash.bin```, ```rom.bin``` and ```rom1.bin``` in local directory. Therefore, Please make sure that you are in the correct destination directory before starting QEMU.
-
-In the second terminal window, you can then start GDB and connect to the emulation for the example.
-```
-xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb.qemu $HOME/src/RIOT-Xtensa-ESP/tests/shell/bin/esp32-generic/tests_shell.elf
-```
-To start debugging, you have to connect to QEMU with command:
-```
-(gdb) target remote :1234
-```
-
-**Please note:**
-QEMU for Xtensa ESP32 does not support interrupts. That is, once your application uses interrupts, e.g., timers, the application cannot be debugged using QEMU together with GDB.

For ESP-NOW, ESP32 nodes are used in WiFi SoftAP + Station mode to advertise their SSID and become visible to other ESP32 nodes. The SSID of an ESP32 node is the concatenation of the prefix ```RIOT_ESP_``` with the MAC address of its SoftAP WiFi interface. The driver periodically scans all visible ESP32 nodes.
