[Ovmsdev] ESP-IDF v4 / v5 - baby steps

Mon Feb 20 04:15:43 HKT 2023

Ludovic,

you're totally right being impatient, sorry for the delay. My spare time 
is currently rare, but I've at least now merged your bug & compatibility 
fixes so far.

Actually one of the next things I wanted to try/determine is why you 
want/need to use wolfSSL instead of mbedTLS, which we've been using 
since wolfSSL failed so miserably about the Let's encrypt root 
certificate transition. Is there an issue with mbedTLS in idf5?

We still need to decide on the integration way. Mark's suggestion was 
doing the idf5 transition in a separate branch that will later become 
the new "master". That would keep the idf3 build clean from any 
regressions, but need merging any work done on that branch into the idf5 
branch, which may become a lot of additional work, depending on the time 
needed to finish the transition. Adding IDF version switches to all code 
sections that need differentiation may introduce some additional points 
of failure, but also makes identifying the idf5 rework sections easy. I 
haven't come to a final opinion on this, but I tend to merging this into 
the master as you suggest, once we know it doesn't impact idf3 
compatibility.

The idf5 build branch does not yet build using idf3, currently failing 
with a wolfssl issue:
