Miscellaneous System APIs

[中文]

Software Reset

To perform software reset of the chip, the esp_restart() function is provided. When the function is called, execution of the program stops, the CPU is reset, the application is loaded by the bootloader and starts execution again.

Additionally, the esp_register_shutdown_handler() function can register a routine that will be automatically called before a restart (that is triggered by esp_restart()) occurs. This is similar to the functionality of atexit POSIX function.

Reset Reason

ESP-IDF applications can be started or restarted due to a variety of reasons. To get the last reset reason, call esp_reset_reason() function. See description of esp_reset_reason_t for the list of possible reset reasons.

Heap Memory

Two heap-memory-related functions are provided:

• esp_get_free_heap_size() returns the current size of free heap memory.

• esp_get_minimum_free_heap_size() returns the minimum size of free heap memory that has ever been available (i.e., the smallest size of free heap memory in the application's lifetime).

Note that ESP-IDF supports multiple heaps with different capabilities. The functions mentioned in this section return the size of heap memory that can be allocated using the malloc family of functions. For further information about heap memory, see Heap Memory Allocation.

MAC Address

These APIs allow querying and customizing MAC addresses for different supported network interfaces (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet).

To fetch the MAC address for a specific network interface (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Ethernet), call the function esp_read_mac().

In ESP-IDF, the MAC addresses for the various network interfaces are calculated from a single base MAC address. By default, the Espressif base MAC address is used. This base MAC address is pre-programmed into the ESP32-C2 eFuse in the factory during production.

Interface	MAC Address (4 universally administered, default)	MAC Address (2 universally administered)
Wi-Fi Station	base_mac	base_mac
Wi-Fi SoftAP	base_mac, +1 to the last octet	Local MAC (derived from Wi-Fi Station MAC)
Bluetooth	base_mac, +2 to the last octet	base_mac, +1 to the last octet
Ethernet	base_mac, +3 to the last octet	Local MAC (derived from Bluetooth MAC)

Note

The configuration configures the number of universally administered MAC addresses that are provided by Espressif.

Note

Although ESP32-C2 has no integrated Ethernet MAC, it is still possible to calculate an Ethernet MAC address. However, this MAC address can only be used with an external ethernet interface such as an SPI-Ethernet device. See Ethernet.

Custom Interface MAC

Sometimes you may need to define custom MAC addresses that are not generated from the base MAC address. To set a custom interface MAC address, use the esp_iface_mac_addr_set() function. This function allows you to overwrite the MAC addresses of interfaces set (or not yet set) by the base MAC address. Once a MAC address has been set for a particular interface, it will not be affected when the base MAC address is changed.

Custom Base MAC

The default base MAC is pre-programmed by Espressif in eFuse BLK1. To set a custom base MAC instead, call the function esp_iface_mac_addr_set() with the ESP_MAC_BASE argument (or esp_base_mac_addr_set()) before initializing any network interfaces or calling the esp_read_mac() function. The custom MAC address can be stored in any supported storage device (e.g., flash, NVS).

The custom base MAC addresses should be allocated such that derived MAC addresses will not overlap. Based on the table above, users can configure the option CONFIG_ESP32C2_UNIVERSAL_MAC_ADDRESSES to set the number of valid universal MAC addresses that can be derived from the custom base MAC.

Note

It is also possible to call the function esp_netif_set_mac() to set the specific MAC used by a network interface after network initialization. But it is recommended to use the base MAC approach documented here to avoid the possibility of the original MAC address briefly appearing on the network before being changed.

Custom MAC Address in eFuse

When reading custom MAC addresses from eFuse, ESP-IDF provides a helper function esp_efuse_mac_get_custom(). Users can also use esp_read_mac() with the ESP_MAC_EFUSE_CUSTOM argument. This loads the MAC address from eFuse BLK3. The esp_efuse_mac_get_custom() function assumes that the custom base MAC address is stored in the following format:

Field	# of bits	Range of bits
MAC address	48	200:248

Note

The eFuse BLK3 uses RS-coding during burning, which means that all eFuse fields in this block must be burnt at the same time.

Once custom eFuse MAC address has been obtained (using esp_efuse_mac_get_custom() or esp_read_mac()), you need to set it as the base MAC address. There are two ways to do it:

1. Use an old API: call esp_base_mac_addr_set().

2. Use a new API: call esp_iface_mac_addr_set() with the ESP_MAC_BASE argument.

Local Versus Universal MAC Addresses

ESP32-C2 comes pre-programmed with enough valid Espressif universally administered MAC addresses for all internal interfaces. The table above shows how to calculate and derive the MAC address for a specific interface according to the base MAC address.

When using a custom MAC address scheme, it is possible that not all interfaces can be assigned with a universally administered MAC address. In these cases, a locally administered MAC address is assigned. Note that these addresses are intended for use on a single local network only.

See this article for the definition of locally and universally administered MAC addresses.

Function esp_derive_local_mac() is called internally to derive a local MAC address from a universal MAC address. The process is as follows:

1. The U/L bit (bit value 0x2) is set in the first octet of the universal MAC address, creating a local MAC address.

2. If this bit is already set in the supplied universal MAC address (i.e., the supplied "universal" MAC address was in fact already a local MAC address), then the first octet of the local MAC address is XORed with 0x4.

Chip Version

esp_chip_info() function fills esp_chip_info_t structure with information about the chip. This includes the chip revision, number of CPU cores, and a bit mask of features enabled in the chip.

SDK Version

esp_get_idf_version() returns a string describing the ESP-IDF version which is used to compile the application. This is the same value as the one available through IDF_VER variable of the build system. The version string generally has the format of git describe output.

To get the version at build time, additional version macros are provided. They can be used to enable or disable parts of the program depending on the ESP-IDF version.

• ESP_IDF_VERSION_MAJOR, ESP_IDF_VERSION_MINOR, ESP_IDF_VERSION_PATCH are defined to integers representing major, minor, and patch version.

• ESP_IDF_VERSION_VAL and ESP_IDF_VERSION can be used when implementing version checks:

  #include "esp_idf_version.h"
  
  #if ESP_IDF_VERSION >= ESP_IDF_VERSION_VAL(4, 0, 0)
      // enable functionality present in ESP-IDF v4.0
  #endif
  

App Version

The application version is stored in esp_app_desc_t structure. It is located in DROM sector and has a fixed offset from the beginning of the binary file. The structure is located after esp_image_header_t and esp_image_segment_header_t structures. The type of the field version is string and it has a maximum length of 32 chars.

To set the version in your project manually, you need to set the PROJECT_VER variable in the CMakeLists.txt of your project. In application CMakeLists.txt, put set(PROJECT_VER "0.1.0.1") before including project.cmake.

If the CONFIG_APP_PROJECT_VER_FROM_CONFIG option is set, the value of CONFIG_APP_PROJECT_VER will be used. Otherwise, if the PROJECT_VER variable is not set in the project, it will be retrieved either from the $(PROJECT_PATH)/version.txt file (if present) or using git command git describe. If neither is available, PROJECT_VER will be set to "1". Application can make use of this by calling esp_app_get_description() or esp_ota_get_partition_description() functions.

Application Examples

• system/base_mac_address demonstrates how to retrieve, set, and derive the base MAC address for each network interface on ESP32-C2 from non-volatile memory, using either the eFuse blocks or external storage.

Set base MAC address with the MAC address which is stored in BLK3 of EFUSE or external storage e.g. flash and EEPROM.

Base MAC address is used to generate the MAC addresses used by network interfaces.

If using a custom base MAC address, call this API before initializing any network interfaces. Refer to the ESP-IDF Programming Guide for details about how the Base MAC is used.

Note

Base MAC must be a unicast MAC (least significant bit of first byte must be zero).

Note

If not using a valid OUI, set the "locally administered" bit (bit value 0x02 in the first byte) to avoid collisions.

Parameters

Parameters

• addr -- Address of atomic variable

• compare_value -- Value to compare the atomic variable to

• new_value -- New value to set the atomic variable to

Returns

Whether the atomic variable was set or not

Structures

struct esp_cpu_intr_desc_t

Public Members

int priority

Priority of the interrupt if it has a fixed priority, (-1) if the priority is configurable.

esp_cpu_intr_type_t type

Whether the interrupt is an edge or level type interrupt, ESP_CPU_INTR_TYPE_NA if the type is configurable.

uint32_t flags

Flags indicating extra details.

Macros

ESP_CPU_INTR_DESC_FLAG_SPECIAL

Interrupt descriptor flags of esp_cpu_intr_desc_t.

The interrupt is a special interrupt (e.g., a CPU timer interrupt)

Functions

const esp_app_desc_t *esp_app_get_description(void)

Return esp_app_desc structure. This structure includes app version.

Return description for running app.

Returns

Pointer to esp_app_desc structure.

int esp_app_get_elf_sha256(char *dst, size_t size)

Fill the provided buffer with SHA256 of the ELF file, formatted as hexadecimal, null-terminated. If the buffer size is not sufficient to fit the entire SHA256 in hex plus a null terminator, the largest possible number of bytes will be written followed by a null.

Parameters

• dst -- Destination buffer

• size -- Size of the buffer

Returns

Number of bytes written to dst (including null terminator)

char *esp_app_get_elf_sha256_str(void)

Return SHA256 of the ELF file which is already formatted as hexadecimal, null-terminated included. Can be used in panic handler or core dump during when cache is disabled. The length is defined by CONFIG_APP_RETRIEVE_LEN_ELF_SHA option.

Returns
