Configurable option to use IRAM as byte accessible memory (in single core mode) using
load-store (non-word aligned and non-word size IRAM access specific) exception handlers.
This allows to use IRAM for use-cases where certain performance penalty
(upto 170 cpu cycles per load or store operation) is acceptable. Additional configuration
option has been provided to redirect mbedTLS specific in-out content length buffers to
IRAM (in single core mode), allows to save 20KB per TLS connection.
1. add brownout detector HAL for esp32 and esp32s2
2. enable brownout reset for esp32 rev. 1 and above
3. add approximate brownout detector levels for esp32s2
1. Clarify THREADPTR calculation in FreeRTOS code, explaining where
the constant 0x10 offset comes from.
2. On the ESP32-S2, .flash.rodata section had different default
alignment (8 bytes instead of 16), which resulted in different offset
of the TLS sections. Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to query
section alignment from C code, or to use a constant value to define
section alignment in the linker script. The linker scripts are
modified to force a fixed 16 byte alignment for .flash.rodata on the
ESP32 and ESP32-S2beta. Note that the base address of .flash.rodata
was already 16 byte aligned, so this has not changed the actual
memory layout of the application.
Full explanation of the calculation below.
Assume we have the TLS template section base address
(tls_section_vma), the address of a TLS variable in the template
(address), and the final relocation value (offset). The linker
calculates:
offset = address - tls_section_vma + align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment).
At run time, the TLS section gets copied from _thread_local_start
(in .rodata) to task_thread_local_start. Let’s assume that an address
of a variable in the runtime TLS section is runtime_address.
Access to this address will happen by calculating THREADPTR + offset.
So, by a series of substitutions:
THREADPTR + offset = runtime_address THREADPTR = runtime_address - offset
THREADPTR = runtime_address - (address - tls_section_vma + align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment)) THREADPTR = (runtime_address - address) + tls_section_vma - align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment)
The difference between runtime_address and address is same as the
difference between task_thread_local_start and _thread_local_start.
And tls_section_vma is the address of .rodata section, i.e.
_rodata_start. So we arrive to
THREADPTR = task_thread_local_start - _thread_local_start + _rodata_start - align_up(TCB_SIZE, alignment).
The idea with TCB_SIZE being added to the THREADPTR when computing
the relocation was to let the OS save TCB pointer in the TREADPTR
register. The location of the run-time TLS section was assumed to be
immediately after the TCB, aligned to whatever the section alignment
was. However in our case the problem is that the run-time TLS section
is stored not next to the TCB, but at the top of the stack. Plus,
even if it was stored next to the TCB, the size of a FreeRTOS TCB is
not equal to 8 bytes (TCB_SIZE hardcoded in the linker). So we have
to calculate THREADPTR in a slightly obscure way, to compensate for
these differences.

Even if frame->exccause != PANIC_RSN_CACHEERR, it is possible that
the cache error interrupt status is set. For example, this may happen
due to an invalid cache access in the panic handler itself.
Check cache error interrupt status instead of frame->exccause to
decide whether to do CPU reset or digital reset.
Also remove unnecessary esp_dport_access_int_pause from
esp_cache_err_get_cpuid, since the panic handler already calls
esp_dport_access_int_abort on entry.
arg1 = MAX(int64_t arg1, uint64_t arg2) gave the wrong result, if arg1 < 0, it was presented as a larger value.
And ALARM_REG = (uin32_t)arg1. This leads to an infinite loop.
Fixed: both args are int64_t.
Closes: WIFI-1511
Activated AES, RSA and SHA hardware acceleration for esp32s2 and enabled related unit tests.
Updated with changes made for ESP32 from 0a04034, 961f59f and caea288.
Added performance targets for esp32s2beta
Closes IDF-757
1. Fix WiFi scan leads to poor performance of Bluetooth.
2. Improve WiFi connect success ratio when coexist with Bluetooth.
3. Check if WiFi is still connected when CSA or beacon timeout happen.
4. add coex pre init
The test case may run after an RTC_WDT_RESET (if we are on rev. 0
ESP32), or software reset (when running test cases locally).
Also moving the test case next to the other timer group driver tests.
1. add hal and low-level layer for timer group
2. add callback functions to handle interrupt
3. add timer deinit function
4. add timer spinlock take function
