[Ovmsdev] PSRAM fix in esp-idf release v3.3

Thu Jul 16 19:48:09 HKT 2020

OK. I’ve done this on the api.openvehicles.com <http://api.openvehicles.com/> build system (Linux based). My edge build gives:

3.2.013-298-g025f838/ota_0/edge (build idf v3.3.2-879-g0137aef Jul 16 2020 19:25:08)

But, the Mac osx download link gives:

curl https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-osx-1.22.0-96-g2852398-5.2.0.tar.gz
<html>
<head><title>404 Not Found</title></head>
<body bgcolor="white">

<hr><center>nginx/1.14.0 (Ubuntu)</center>
</body>
</html>

Oh, good grief. I’ll try to take it up with espressif…

Regards, Mark.

Update your toolchain to release 1.22.0-96-g2852398-5.2.0: download the toolchain for your OS from https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/release-v3.3/get-started/index.html#setup-toolchain <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/release-v3.3/get-started/index.html#setup-toolchain>, simply replace your existing toolchain installation by unpacking the archive. Test your toolchain installation by checking xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc --version.

My bench unit is showing rev=ESP32/1. I checked a bunch of recent cars connected to api.openvehicles.com <http://api.openvehicles.com/>, but all showed the same. So not sure if the v3 silicon is not reported in that chip.revision, if we are just using existing stocks, or an IDF update is required to pickup the new silicon version number. The v3 seems fairly recent (March 2020?) and I don’t see a v2 listed. Anyway, I’ve just yesterday received a new batch of modules so will check those to see if it shows up.

Presumably I turn off auto-build of the firmware on api.openvehicles.com <http://api.openvehicles.com/>, you merge your SPIRAM branch to master, we tell everyone to download the new toolchain, then we switch both our edge builds back to master branch with new toolchain?
