Project Configuration

[中文]

Introduction

The esp-idf-kconfig package that ESP-IDF uses is based on kconfiglib, which is a Python extension to the Kconfig system. Kconfig provides a compile-time project configuration mechanism and offers configuration options of several types (e.g., integers, strings, and boolens). Kconfig files specify dependencies between options, default values of options, the way options are grouped together, etc.

For the full list of available features, please see Kconfig and kconfiglib extentions.

Project Configuration Menu

Application developers can open a terminal-based project configuration menu with the idf.py menuconfig build target.

After being updated, this configuration is saved in the sdkconfig file under the project root directory. Based on sdkconfig, application build targets will generate the sdkconfig.h file under the build directory, and will make the sdkconfig options available to the project build system and source files.

Using sdkconfig.defaults

In some cases, for example, when the sdkconfig file is under revision control, it may be inconvenient for the build system to change the sdkconfig file. The build system offers a solution to prevent it from happening, which is to create the sdkconfig.defaults file. This file is never touched by the build system, and can be created manually or automatically. It contains all the options which matter to the given application and are different from the default ones. The format is the same as that of the sdkconfig file. sdkconfig.defaults can be created manually when one remembers all the changed configuration, or it can be generated automatically by running the idf.py save-defconfig command.

Once sdkconfig.defaults is created, sdkconfig can be deleted or added to the ignore list of the revision control system (e.g., the .gitignore file for git). Project build targets will automatically create the sdkconfig file, populate it with the settings from the sdkconfig.defaults file, and configure the rest of the settings to their default values. Note that during the build process, settings from sdkconfig.defaults will not override those already in sdkconfig. For more information, see Custom Sdkconfig Defaults.

Kconfig Format Rules

Format rules for Kconfig files are as follows:

  • Option names in any menus should have consistent prefixes. The prefix currently should have at least 3 characters.

  • The unit of indentation should be 4 spaces. All sub-items belonging to a parent item are indented by one level deeper. For example, menu is indented by 0 spaces, config menu by 4 spaces, help in config by 8 spaces, and the text under help by 12 spaces.

  • No trailing spaces are allowed at the end of the lines.

  • The maximum length of options is 40 characters.

  • The maximum length of lines is 120 characters.

Note

The help section of each config in the menu is treated as reStructuredText to generate the reference documentation for each option.

Format Checker

tools/ci/check_kconfigs.py is provided for checking Kconfig files against the above format rules. The checker checks all Kconfig and Kconfig.projbuild files in the ESP-IDF directory, and generates a new file with suffix .new with some suggestions about how to fix issues (if there are any). Please note that the checker cannot correct all format issues and the responsibility of the developer is to final check and make corrections in order to pass the tests. For example, indentations will be corrected if there isn’t any misleading formatting, but it cannot come up with a common prefix for options inside a menu.

Backward Compatibility of Kconfig Options

The standard Kconfig tools ignore unknown options in sdkconfig. So if a developer has custom settings for options which are renamed in newer ESP-IDF releases, then the given setting for the option would be silently ignored. Therefore, several features have been adopted to avoid this:

  1. kconfgen is used by the tool chain to pre-process sdkconfig files before anything else. For example, menuconfig would read them, so the settings for old options will be kept and not ignored.

  2. kconfgen recursively finds all sdkconfig.rename files in ESP-IDF directory which contain old and new Kconfig option names. Old options are replaced by new ones in the sdkconfig file. Renames that should only appear for a single target can be placed in a target-specific rename file sdkconfig.rename.TARGET, where TARGET is the target name, e.g. sdkconfig.rename.esp32s2.

  3. kconfgen post-processes sdkconfig files and generates all build outputs (sdkconfig.h, sdkconfig.cmake, and auto.conf) by adding a list of compatibility statements, i.e., the values of old options are set for new options after modification. If users still use old options in their code, this will prevent it from breaking.

  4. Deprecated options and their replacements are automatically generated by kconfgen.

Configuration Options Reference

Subsequent sections contain the list of available ESP-IDF options automatically generated from Kconfig files. Note that due to dependencies between options, some options listed here may not be visible by default in menuconfig.

By convention, all option names are upper-case letters with underscores. When Kconfig generates sdkconfig and sdkconfig.h files, option names are prefixed with CONFIG_. So if an option ENABLE_FOO is defined in a Kconfig file and selected in menuconfig, then the sdkconfig and sdkconfig.h files will have CONFIG_ENABLE_FOO defined. In the following sections, option names are also prefixed with CONFIG_, same as in the source code.

Build type

Contains:

CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE

Application build type

Found in: Build type

Select the way the application is built.

By default, the application is built as a binary file in a format compatible with the ESP-IDF bootloader. In addition to this application, 2nd stage bootloader is also built. Application and bootloader binaries can be written into flash and loaded/executed from there.

Another option, useful for only very small and limited applications, is to only link the .elf file of the application, such that it can be loaded directly into RAM over JTAG or UART. Note that since IRAM and DRAM sizes are very limited, it is not possible to build any complex application this way. However for some kinds of testing and debugging, this option may provide faster iterations, since the application does not need to be written into flash.

Note: when APP_BUILD_TYPE_RAM is selected and loaded with JTAG, ESP-IDF does not contain all the startup code required to initialize the CPUs and ROM memory (data/bss). Therefore it is necessary to execute a bit of ROM code prior to executing the application. A gdbinit file may look as follows (for ESP32):

# Connect to a running instance of OpenOCD target remote :3333 # Reset and halt the target mon reset halt # Run to a specific point in ROM code, # where most of initialization is complete. thb *0x40007d54 c # Load the application into RAM load # Run till app_main tb app_main c

Execute this gdbinit file as follows:

xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb build/app-name.elf -x gdbinit

Example gdbinit files for other targets can be found in tools/test_apps/system/gdb_loadable_elf/

When loading the BIN with UART, the ROM will jump to ram and run the app after finishing the ROM startup code, so there’s no additional startup initialization required. You can use the load_ram in esptool.py to load the generated .bin file into ram and execute.

Example:

esptool.py –chip {chip} -p {port} -b {baud} –no-stub load_ram {app.bin}

Recommended sdkconfig.defaults for building loadable ELF files is as follows. CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE_RAM is required, other options help reduce application memory footprint.

CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE_RAM=y CONFIG_VFS_SUPPORT_TERMIOS= CONFIG_NEWLIB_NANO_FORMAT=y CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_PRINT_HALT=y CONFIG_ESP_DEBUG_STUBS_ENABLE= CONFIG_ESP_ERR_TO_NAME_LOOKUP=

Available options:

  • Default (binary application + 2nd stage bootloader) (CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE_APP_2NDBOOT)

  • Build app runs entirely in RAM (EXPERIMENTAL) (CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE_RAM)

CONFIG_APP_BUILD_TYPE_PURE_RAM_APP

Build app without SPI_FLASH/PSRAM support (saves ram)

Found in: Build type

If this option is enabled, external memory and related peripherals, such as Cache, MMU, Flash and PSRAM, won’t be initialized. Corresponding drivers won’t be introduced either. Components that depend on the spi_flash component will also be unavailable, such as app_update, etc. When this option is enabled, about 26KB of RAM space can be saved.

CONFIG_APP_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD

Enable reproducible build

Found in: Build type

If enabled, all date, time, and path information would be eliminated. A .gdbinit file would be create automatically. (or will be append if you have one already)

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_NO_BLOBS

No Binary Blobs

Found in: Build type

If enabled, this disables the linking of binary libraries in the application build. Note that after enabling this Wi-Fi/Bluetooth will not work.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_COMPATIBLE_PRE_V2_1_BOOTLOADERS

App compatible with bootloaders before ESP-IDF v2.1

Found in: Build type

Bootloaders before ESP-IDF v2.1 did less initialisation of the system clock. This setting needs to be enabled to build an app which can be booted by these older bootloaders.

If this setting is enabled, the app can be booted by any bootloader from IDF v1.0 up to the current version.

If this setting is disabled, the app can only be booted by bootloaders from IDF v2.1 or newer.

Enabling this setting adds approximately 1KB to the app’s IRAM usage.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_COMPATIBLE_PRE_V3_1_BOOTLOADERS

App compatible with bootloader and partition table before ESP-IDF v3.1

Found in: Build type

Partition tables before ESP-IDF V3.1 do not contain an MD5 checksum field, and the bootloader before ESP-IDF v3.1 cannot read a partition table that contains an MD5 checksum field.

Enable this option only if your app needs to boot on a bootloader and/or partition table that was generated from a version *before* ESP-IDF v3.1.

If this option and Flash Encryption are enabled at the same time, and any data partitions in the partition table are marked Encrypted, then the partition encrypted flag should be manually verified in the app before accessing the partition (see CVE-2021-27926).

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

Bootloader config

Contains:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION

Bootloader optimization Level

Found in: Bootloader config

This option sets compiler optimization level (gcc -O argument) for the bootloader.

  • The default “Size” setting will add the -0s flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “Debug” setting will add the -Og flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “Performance” setting will add the -O2 flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “None” setting will add the -O0 flag to CFLAGS.

Note that custom optimization levels may be unsupported.

Available options:

  • Size (-Os) (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_SIZE)

  • Debug (-Og) (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_DEBUG)

  • Optimize for performance (-O2) (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_PERF)

  • Debug without optimization (-O0) (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_NONE)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL

Bootloader log verbosity

Found in: Bootloader config

Specify how much output to see in bootloader logs.

Available options:

  • No output (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_NONE)

  • Error (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_ERROR)

  • Warning (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_WARN)

  • Info (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_INFO)

  • Debug (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_DEBUG)

  • Verbose (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SPI_CUSTOM_WP_PIN

Use custom SPI Flash WP Pin when flash pins set in eFuse (read help)

Found in: Bootloader config

This setting is only used if the SPI flash pins have been overridden by setting the eFuses SPI_PAD_CONFIG_xxx, and the SPI flash mode is QIO or QOUT.

When this is the case, the eFuse config only defines 3 of the 4 Quad I/O data pins. The WP pin (aka ESP32 pin “SD_DATA_3” or SPI flash pin “IO2”) is not specified in eFuse. The same pin is also used for external SPIRAM if it is enabled.

If this config item is set to N (default), the correct WP pin will be automatically used for any Espressif chip or module with integrated flash. If a custom setting is needed, set this config item to Y and specify the GPIO number connected to the WP.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SPI_WP_PIN

Custom SPI Flash WP Pin

Found in: Bootloader config

The option “Use custom SPI Flash WP Pin” must be set or this value is ignored

If burning a customized set of SPI flash pins in eFuse and using QIO or QOUT mode for flash, set this value to the GPIO number of the SPI flash WP pin.

Range:
Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_VDDSDIO_BOOST

VDDSDIO LDO voltage

Found in: Bootloader config

If this option is enabled, and VDDSDIO LDO is set to 1.8V (using eFuse or MTDI bootstrapping pin), bootloader will change LDO settings to output 1.9V instead. This helps prevent flash chip from browning out during flash programming operations.

This option has no effect if VDDSDIO is set to 3.3V, or if the internal VDDSDIO regulator is disabled via eFuse.

Available options:

  • 1.8V (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_VDDSDIO_BOOST_1_8V)

  • 1.9V (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_VDDSDIO_BOOST_1_9V)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET

GPIO triggers factory reset

Found in: Bootloader config

Allows to reset the device to factory settings: - clear one or more data partitions; - boot from “factory” partition. The factory reset will occur if there is a GPIO input held at the configured level while device starts up. See settings below.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_NUM_PIN_FACTORY_RESET

Number of the GPIO input for factory reset

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET

The selected GPIO will be configured as an input with internal pull-up enabled (note that on some SoCs. not all pins have an internal pull-up, consult the hardware datasheet for details.) To trigger a factory reset, this GPIO must be held high or low (as configured) on startup.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET_PIN_LEVEL

Factory reset GPIO level

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET

Pin level for factory reset, can be triggered on low or high.

Available options:

  • Reset on GPIO low (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET_PIN_LOW)

  • Reset on GPIO high (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET_PIN_HIGH)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_OTA_DATA_ERASE

Clear OTA data on factory reset (select factory partition)

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET

The device will boot from “factory” partition (or OTA slot 0 if no factory partition is present) after a factory reset.

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_DATA_FACTORY_RESET

Comma-separated names of partitions to clear on factory reset

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FACTORY_RESET

Allows customers to select which data partitions will be erased while factory reset.

Specify the names of partitions as a comma-delimited with optional spaces for readability. (Like this: “nvs, phy_init, …”) Make sure that the name specified in the partition table and here are the same. Partitions of type “app” cannot be specified here.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST

GPIO triggers boot from test app partition

Found in: Bootloader config

Allows to run the test app from “TEST” partition. A boot from “test” partition will occur if there is a GPIO input pulled low while device starts up. See settings below.

Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_NUM_PIN_APP_TEST

Number of the GPIO input to boot TEST partition

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST

The selected GPIO will be configured as an input with internal pull-up enabled. To trigger a test app, this GPIO must be pulled low on reset. After the GPIO input is deactivated and the device reboots, the old application will boot. (factory or OTA[x]). Note that GPIO34-39 do not have an internal pullup and an external one must be provided.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST_PIN_LEVEL

App test GPIO level

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST

Pin level for app test, can be triggered on low or high.

Available options:

  • Enter test app on GPIO low (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST_PIN_LOW)

  • Enter test app on GPIO high (CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_TEST_PIN_HIGH)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_HOLD_TIME_GPIO

Hold time of GPIO for reset/test mode (seconds)

Found in: Bootloader config

The GPIO must be held low continuously for this period of time after reset before a factory reset or test partition boot (as applicable) is performed.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_REGION_PROTECTION_ENABLE

Enable protection for unmapped memory regions

Found in: Bootloader config

Protects the unmapped memory regions of the entire address space from unintended accesses. This will ensure that an exception will be triggered whenever the CPU performs a memory operation on unmapped regions of the address space.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_WDT_ENABLE

Use RTC watchdog in start code

Found in: Bootloader config

Tracks the execution time of startup code. If the execution time is exceeded, the RTC_WDT will restart system. It is also useful to prevent a lock up in start code caused by an unstable power source. NOTE: Tracks the execution time starts from the bootloader code - re-set timeout, while selecting the source for slow_clk - and ends calling app_main. Re-set timeout is needed due to WDT uses a SLOW_CLK clock source. After changing a frequency slow_clk a time of WDT needs to re-set for new frequency. slow_clk depends on RTC_CLK_SRC (INTERNAL_RC or EXTERNAL_CRYSTAL).

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_WDT_DISABLE_IN_USER_CODE

Allows RTC watchdog disable in user code

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_WDT_ENABLE

If this option is set, the ESP-IDF app must explicitly reset, feed, or disable the rtc_wdt in the app’s own code. If this option is not set (default), then rtc_wdt will be disabled by ESP-IDF before calling the app_main() function.

Use function rtc_wdt_feed() for resetting counter of rtc_wdt. Use function rtc_wdt_disable() for disabling rtc_wdt.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_WDT_TIME_MS

Timeout for RTC watchdog (ms)

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_WDT_ENABLE

Verify that this parameter is correct and more then the execution time. Pay attention to options such as reset to factory, trigger test partition and encryption on boot - these options can increase the execution time. Note: RTC_WDT will reset while encryption operations will be performed.

Range:

  • from 0 to 120000

Default value:

  • 9000

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE

Enable app rollback support

Found in: Bootloader config

After updating the app, the bootloader runs a new app with the “ESP_OTA_IMG_PENDING_VERIFY” state set. This state prevents the re-run of this app. After the first boot of the new app in the user code, the function should be called to confirm the operability of the app or vice versa about its non-operability. If the app is working, then it is marked as valid. Otherwise, it is marked as not valid and rolls back to the previous working app. A reboot is performed, and the app is booted before the software update. Note: If during the first boot a new app the power goes out or the WDT works, then roll back will happen. Rollback is possible only between the apps with the same security versions.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ANTI_ROLLBACK

Enable app anti-rollback support

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE

This option prevents rollback to previous firmware/application image with lower security version.

Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_SECURE_VERSION

eFuse secure version of app

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ANTI_ROLLBACK

The secure version is the sequence number stored in the header of each firmware. The security version is set in the bootloader, version is recorded in the eFuse field as the number of set ones. The allocated number of bits in the efuse field for storing the security version is limited (see BOOTLOADER_APP_SEC_VER_SIZE_EFUSE_FIELD option).

Bootloader: When bootloader selects an app to boot, an app is selected that has a security version greater or equal that recorded in eFuse field. The app is booted with a higher (or equal) secure version.

The security version is worth increasing if in previous versions there is a significant vulnerability and their use is not acceptable.

Your partition table should has a scheme with ota_0 + ota_1 (without factory).

Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_SEC_VER_SIZE_EFUSE_FIELD

Size of the efuse secure version field

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ANTI_ROLLBACK

The size of the efuse secure version field. Its length is limited to 32 bits for ESP32 and 16 bits for ESP32-S2. This determines how many times the security version can be increased.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_EFUSE_SECURE_VERSION_EMULATE

Emulate operations with efuse secure version(only test)

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ROLLBACK_ENABLE > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_APP_ANTI_ROLLBACK

This option allows to emulate read/write operations with all eFuses and efuse secure version. It allows to test anti-rollback implemention without permanent write eFuse bits. There should be an entry in partition table with following details: emul_efuse, data, efuse, , 0x2000.

This option enables: EFUSE_VIRTUAL and EFUSE_VIRTUAL_KEEP_IN_FLASH.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SKIP_VALIDATE_IN_DEEP_SLEEP

Skip image validation when exiting deep sleep

Found in: Bootloader config

This option disables the normal validation of an image coming out of deep sleep (checksums, SHA256, and signature). This is a trade-off between wakeup performance from deep sleep, and image integrity checks.

Only enable this if you know what you are doing. It should not be used in conjunction with using deep_sleep() entry and changing the active OTA partition as this would skip the validation upon first load of the new OTA partition.

It is possible to enable this option with Secure Boot if “allow insecure options” is enabled, however it’s strongly recommended to NOT enable it as it may allow a Secure Boot bypass.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SKIP_VALIDATE_ON_POWER_ON

Skip image validation from power on reset (READ HELP FIRST)

Found in: Bootloader config

Some applications need to boot very quickly from power on. By default, the entire app binary is read from flash and verified which takes up a significant portion of the boot time.

Enabling this option will skip validation of the app when the SoC boots from power on. Note that in this case it’s not possible for the bootloader to detect if an app image is corrupted in the flash, therefore it’s not possible to safely fall back to a different app partition. Flash corruption of this kind is unlikely but can happen if there is a serious firmware bug or physical damage.

Following other reset types, the bootloader will still validate the app image. This increases the chances that flash corruption resulting in a crash can be detected following soft reset, and the bootloader will fall back to a valid app image. To increase the chances of successfully recovering from a flash corruption event, keep the option BOOTLOADER_WDT_ENABLE enabled and consider also enabling BOOTLOADER_WDT_DISABLE_IN_USER_CODE - then manually disable the RTC Watchdog once the app is running. In addition, enable both the Task and Interrupt watchdog timers with reset options set.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_SKIP_VALIDATE_ALWAYS

Skip image validation always (READ HELP FIRST)

Found in: Bootloader config

Selecting this option prevents the bootloader from ever validating the app image before booting it. Any flash corruption of the selected app partition will make the entire SoC unbootable.

Although flash corruption is a very rare case, it is not recommended to select this option. Consider selecting “Skip image validation from power on reset” instead. However, if boot time is the only important factor then it can be enabled.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_CUSTOM_RESERVE_RTC

Reserve RTC FAST memory for custom purposes

Found in: Bootloader config

This option allows the customer to place data in the RTC FAST memory, this area remains valid when rebooted, except for power loss. This memory is located at a fixed address and is available for both the bootloader and the application. (The application and bootoloader must be compiled with the same option). The RTC FAST memory has access only through PRO_CPU.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_CUSTOM_RESERVE_RTC_SIZE

Size in bytes for custom purposes

Found in: Bootloader config > CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_CUSTOM_RESERVE_RTC

This option reserves in RTC FAST memory the area for custom purposes. If you want to create your own bootloader and save more information in this area of memory, you can increase it. It must be a multiple of 4 bytes. This area (rtc_retain_mem_t) is reserved and has access from the bootloader and an application.

Default value:

CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_FLASH_XMC_SUPPORT

Enable the support for flash chips of XMC (READ HELP FIRST)

Found in: Bootloader config

Perform the startup flow recommended by XMC. Please consult XMC for the details of this flow. XMC chips will be forbidden to be used, when this option is disabled.

DON’T DISABLE THIS UNLESS YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

Security features

Contains:

CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_NO_SECURE_BOOT

Require signed app images

Found in: Security features

Require apps to be signed to verify their integrity.

This option uses the same app signature scheme as hardware secure boot, but unlike hardware secure boot it does not prevent the bootloader from being physically updated. This means that the device can be secured against remote network access, but not physical access. Compared to using hardware Secure Boot this option is much simpler to implement.

CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_SCHEME

App Signing Scheme

Found in: Security features

Select the Secure App signing scheme. Depends on the Chip Revision. There are two secure boot versions:

  1. Secure boot V1

    • Legacy custom secure boot scheme. Supported in ESP32 SoC.

  2. Secure boot V2

    • RSA based secure boot scheme. Supported in ESP32-ECO3 (ESP32 Chip Revision 3 onwards), ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3, ESP32-S3 SoCs.

    • ECDSA based secure boot scheme. Supported in ESP32-C2 SoC.

Available options:

  • ECDSA (CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_ECDSA_SCHEME)

    Embeds the ECDSA public key in the bootloader and signs the application with an ECDSA key. Refer to the documentation before enabling.

  • RSA (CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_RSA_SCHEME)

    Appends the RSA-3072 based Signature block to the application. Refer to <Secure Boot Version 2 documentation link> before enabling.

  • ECDSA (V2) (CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_APPS_ECDSA_V2_SCHEME)

    For Secure boot V2 (e.g., ESP32-C2 SoC), appends ECDSA based signature block to the application. Refer to documentation before enabling.

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ECDSA_KEY_LEN_SIZE

ECDSA key size

Found in: Security features

Select the ECDSA key size. Two key sizes are supported

  • 192 bit key using NISTP192 curve

  • 256 bit key using NISTP256 curve (Recommended)

The advantage of using 256 bit key is the extra randomness which makes it difficult to be bruteforced compared to 192 bit key. At present, both key sizes are practically implausible to bruteforce.

Available options:

  • Using ECC curve NISTP192 (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ECDSA_KEY_LEN_192_BITS)

  • Using ECC curve NISTP256 (Recommended) (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ECDSA_KEY_LEN_256_BITS)

CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_ON_BOOT_NO_SECURE_BOOT

Bootloader verifies app signatures

Found in: Security features

If this option is set, the bootloader will be compiled with code to verify that an app is signed before booting it.

If hardware secure boot is enabled, this option is always enabled and cannot be disabled. If hardware secure boot is not enabled, this option doesn’t add significant security by itself so most users will want to leave it disabled.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_SIGNED_ON_UPDATE_NO_SECURE_BOOT

Verify app signature on update

Found in: Security features

If this option is set, any OTA updated apps will have the signature verified before being considered valid.

When enabled, the signature is automatically checked whenever the esp_ota_ops.h APIs are used for OTA updates, or esp_image_format.h APIs are used to verify apps.

If hardware secure boot is enabled, this option is always enabled and cannot be disabled. If hardware secure boot is not enabled, this option still adds significant security against network-based attackers by preventing spoofing of OTA updates.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT

Enable hardware Secure Boot in bootloader (READ DOCS FIRST)

Found in: Security features

Build a bootloader which enables Secure Boot on first boot.

Once enabled, Secure Boot will not boot a modified bootloader. The bootloader will only load a partition table or boot an app if the data has a verified digital signature. There are implications for reflashing updated apps once secure boot is enabled.

When enabling secure boot, JTAG and ROM BASIC Interpreter are permanently disabled by default.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_VERSION

Select secure boot version

Found in: Security features > CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT

Select the Secure Boot Version. Depends on the Chip Revision. Secure Boot V2 is the new RSA / ECDSA based secure boot scheme.

  • RSA based scheme is supported in ESP32 (Revision 3 onwards), ESP32-S2, ESP32-C3 (ECO3), ESP32-S3.

  • ECDSA based scheme is supported in ESP32-C2 SoC.

Please note that, RSA or ECDSA secure boot is property of specific SoC based on its HW design, supported crypto accelerators, die-size, cost and similar parameters. Please note that RSA scheme has requirement for bigger key sizes but at the same time it is comparatively faster than ECDSA verification.

Secure Boot V1 is the AES based (custom) secure boot scheme supported in ESP32 SoC.

Available options:

  • Enable Secure Boot version 1 (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V1_ENABLED)

    Build a bootloader which enables secure boot version 1 on first boot. Refer to the Secure Boot section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for this version before enabling.

  • Enable Secure Boot version 2 (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ENABLED)

    Build a bootloader which enables Secure Boot version 2 on first boot. Refer to Secure Boot V2 section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for this version before enabling.

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_MODE

Secure bootloader mode

Found in: Security features

Available options:

  • One-time flash (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_ONE_TIME_FLASH)

    On first boot, the bootloader will generate a key which is not readable externally or by software. A digest is generated from the bootloader image itself. This digest will be verified on each subsequent boot.

    Enabling this option means that the bootloader cannot be changed after the first time it is booted.

  • Reflashable (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_REFLASHABLE)

    Generate a reusable secure bootloader key, derived (via SHA-256) from the secure boot signing key.

    This allows the secure bootloader to be re-flashed by anyone with access to the secure boot signing key.

    This option is less secure than one-time flash, because a leak of the digest key from one device allows reflashing of any device that uses it.

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES

Sign binaries during build

Found in: Security features

Once secure boot or signed app requirement is enabled, app images are required to be signed.

If enabled (default), these binary files are signed as part of the build process. The file named in “Secure boot private signing key” will be used to sign the image.

If disabled, unsigned app/partition data will be built. They must be signed manually using espsecure.py. Version 1 to enable ECDSA Based Secure Boot and Version 2 to enable RSA based Secure Boot. (for example, on a remote signing server.)

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_SIGNING_KEY

Secure boot private signing key

Found in: Security features > CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_BUILD_SIGNED_BINARIES

Path to the key file used to sign app images.

Key file is an ECDSA private key (NIST256p curve) in PEM format for Secure Boot V1. Key file is an RSA private key in PEM format for Secure Boot V2.

Path is evaluated relative to the project directory.

You can generate a new signing key by running the following command: espsecure.py generate_signing_key secure_boot_signing_key.pem

See the Secure Boot section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for this version for details.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_VERIFICATION_KEY

Secure boot public signature verification key

Found in: Security features

Path to a public key file used to verify signed images. Secure Boot V1: This ECDSA public key is compiled into the bootloader and/or app, to verify app images.

Key file is in raw binary format, and can be extracted from a PEM formatted private key using the espsecure.py extract_public_key command.

Refer to the Secure Boot section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for this version before enabling.

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE_AGGRESSIVE_KEY_REVOKE

Enable Aggressive key revoke strategy

Found in: Security features

If this option is set, ROM bootloader will revoke the public key digest burned in efuse block if it fails to verify the signature of software bootloader with it. Revocation of keys does not happen when enabling secure boot. Once secure boot is enabled, key revocation checks will be done on subsequent boot-up, while verifying the software bootloader

This feature provides a strong resistance against physical attacks on the device.

NOTE: Once a digest slot is revoked, it can never be used again to verify an image This can lead to permanent bricking of the device, in case all keys are revoked because of signature verification failure.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING

Hardware Key Encoding

Found in: Security features

In reflashable secure bootloader mode, a hardware key is derived from the signing key (with SHA-256) and can be written to eFuse with espefuse.py.

Normally this is a 256-bit key, but if 3/4 Coding Scheme is used on the device then the eFuse key is truncated to 192 bits.

This configuration item doesn’t change any firmware code, it only changes the size of key binary which is generated at build time.

Available options:

  • No encoding (256 bit key) (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING_256BIT)

  • 3/4 encoding (192 bit key) (CONFIG_SECURE_BOOTLOADER_KEY_ENCODING_192BIT)

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_INSECURE

Allow potentially insecure options

Found in: Security features

You can disable some of the default protections offered by secure boot, in order to enable testing or a custom combination of security features.

Only enable these options if you are very sure.

Refer to the Secure Boot section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for this version before enabling.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED

Enable flash encryption on boot (READ DOCS FIRST)

Found in: Security features

If this option is set, flash contents will be encrypted by the bootloader on first boot.

Note: After first boot, the system will be permanently encrypted. Re-flashing an encrypted system is complicated and not always possible.

Read Flash Encryption before enabling.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_KEYSIZE

Size of generated AES-XTS key

Found in: Security features > CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED

Size of generated AES-XTS key.

  • AES-128 uses a 256-bit key (32 bytes) derived from 128 bits (16 bytes) burned in half Efuse key block. Internally, it calculates SHA256(128 bits)

  • AES-128 uses a 256-bit key (32 bytes) which occupies one Efuse key block.

  • AES-256 uses a 512-bit key (64 bytes) which occupies two Efuse key blocks.

This setting is ignored if either type of key is already burned to Efuse before the first boot. In this case, the pre-burned key is used and no new key is generated.

Available options:

  • AES-128 key derived from 128 bits (SHA256(128 bits)) (CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES128_DERIVED)

  • AES-128 (256-bit key) (CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES128)

  • AES-256 (512-bit key) (CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_AES256)

CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE

Enable usage mode

Found in: Security features > CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENC_ENABLED

By default Development mode is enabled which allows ROM download mode to perform flash encryption operations (plaintext is sent to the device, and it encrypts it internally and writes ciphertext to flash.) This mode is not secure, it’s possible for an attacker to write their own chosen plaintext to flash.

Release mode should always be selected for production or manufacturing. Once enabled it’s no longer possible for the device in ROM Download Mode to use the flash encryption hardware.

When EFUSE_VIRTUAL is enabled, SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_RELEASE is not available. For CI tests we use IDF_CI_BUILD to bypass it (“export IDF_CI_BUILD=1”). We do not recommend bypassing it for other purposes.

Refer to the Flash Encryption section of the ESP-IDF Programmer’s Guide for details.

Available options:

  • Development (NOT SECURE) (CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_DEVELOPMENT)

  • Release (CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_MODE_RELEASE)

Potentially insecure options

Contains:

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_ROM_BASIC

Leave ROM BASIC Interpreter available on reset

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

By default, the BASIC ROM Console starts on reset if no valid bootloader is read from the flash.

When either flash encryption or secure boot are enabled, the default is to disable this BASIC fallback mode permanently via eFuse.

If this option is set, this eFuse is not burned and the BASIC ROM Console may remain accessible. Only set this option in testing environments.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_JTAG

Allow JTAG Debugging

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable JTAG (across entire chip) on first boot when either secure boot or flash encryption is enabled.

Setting this option leaves JTAG on for debugging, which negates all protections of flash encryption and some of the protections of secure boot.

Only set this option in testing environments.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_SHORT_APP_PARTITION

Allow app partition length not 64KB aligned

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), app partition size must be a multiple of 64KB. App images are padded to 64KB length, and the bootloader checks any trailing bytes after the signature (before the next 64KB boundary) have not been written. This is because flash cache maps entire 64KB pages into the address space. This prevents an attacker from appending unverified data after the app image in the flash, causing it to be mapped into the address space.

Setting this option allows the app partition length to be unaligned, and disables padding of the app image to this length. It is generally not recommended to set this option, unless you have a legacy partitioning scheme which doesn’t support 64KB aligned partition lengths.

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_V2_ALLOW_EFUSE_RD_DIS

Allow additional read protecting of efuses

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default, recommended), on first boot the bootloader will burn the WR_DIS_RD_DIS efuse when Secure Boot is enabled. This prevents any more efuses from being read protected.

If this option is set, it will remain possible to write the EFUSE_RD_DIS efuse field after Secure Boot is enabled. This may allow an attacker to read-protect the BLK2 efuse (for ESP32) and BLOCK4-BLOCK10 (i.e. BLOCK_KEY0-BLOCK_KEY5)(for other chips) holding the public key digest, causing an immediate denial of service and possibly allowing an additional fault injection attack to bypass the signature protection.

NOTE: Once a BLOCK is read-protected, the application will read all zeros from that block

NOTE: If “UART ROM download mode (Permanently disabled (recommended))” or “UART ROM download mode (Permanently switch to Secure mode (recommended))” is set, then it is __NOT__ possible to read/write efuses using espefuse.py utility. However, efuse can be read/written from the application

CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_UNUSED_DIGEST_SLOTS

Leave unused digest slots available (not revoke)

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), during startup in the app all unused digest slots will be revoked. To revoke unused slot will be called esp_efuse_set_digest_revoke(num_digest) for each digest. Revoking unused digest slots makes ensures that no trusted keys can be added later by an attacker. If set, it means that you have a plan to use unused digests slots later.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_ENC

Leave UART bootloader encryption enabled

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader encryption access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access hardware encryption.

It is recommended to only set this option in testing environments.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_DEC

Leave UART bootloader decryption enabled

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader decryption access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access hardware decryption.

Only set this option in testing environments. Setting this option allows complete bypass of flash encryption.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_CACHE

Leave UART bootloader flash cache enabled

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), the bootloader will permanently disable UART bootloader flash cache access on first boot. If set, the UART bootloader will still be able to access the flash cache.

Only set this option in testing environments.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_REQUIRE_ALREADY_ENABLED

Require flash encryption to be already enabled

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default), and flash encryption is not yet enabled in eFuses, the 2nd stage bootloader will enable flash encryption: generate the flash encryption key and program eFuses. If this option is set, and flash encryption is not yet enabled, the bootloader will error out and reboot. If flash encryption is enabled in eFuses, this option does not change the bootloader behavior.

Only use this option in testing environments, to avoid accidentally enabling flash encryption on the wrong device. The device needs to have flash encryption already enabled using espefuse.py.

Default value:
CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_SKIP_WRITE_PROTECTION_CACHE

Skip write-protection of DIS_CACHE (DIS_ICACHE, DIS_DCACHE)

Found in: Security features > Potentially insecure options

If not set (default, recommended), on the first boot the bootloader will burn the write-protection of DIS_CACHE(for ESP32) or DIS_ICACHE/DIS_DCACHE(for other chips) eFuse when Flash Encryption is enabled. Write protection for cache disable efuse prevents the chip from being blocked if it is set by accident. App and bootloader use cache so disabling it makes the chip useless for IDF. Due to other eFuses are linked with the same write protection bit (see the list below) then write-protection will not be done if these SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_ENC, SECURE_BOOT_ALLOW_JTAG or SECURE_FLASH_UART_BOOTLOADER_ALLOW_CACHE options are selected to give a chance to turn on the chip into the release mode later.

List of eFuses with the same write protection bit: ESP32: MAC, MAC_CRC, DISABLE_APP_CPU, DISABLE_BT, DIS_CACHE, VOL_LEVEL_HP_INV.

ESP32-C3: DIS_ICACHE, DIS_USB_JTAG, DIS_DOWNLOAD_ICACHE, DIS_USB_SERIAL_JTAG, DIS_FORCE_DOWNLOAD, DIS_TWAI, JTAG_SEL_ENABLE, DIS_PAD_JTAG, DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT.

ESP32-C6: SWAP_UART_SDIO_EN, DIS_ICACHE, DIS_USB_JTAG, DIS_DOWNLOAD_ICACHE, DIS_USB_SERIAL_JTAG, DIS_FORCE_DOWNLOAD, DIS_TWAI, JTAG_SEL_ENABLE, DIS_PAD_JTAG, DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT.

ESP32-S3: DIS_ICACHE, DIS_DCACHE, DIS_DOWNLOAD_ICACHE, DIS_DOWNLOAD_DCACHE, DIS_FORCE_DOWNLOAD, DIS_USB_OTG, DIS_TWAI, DIS_APP_CPU, DIS_PAD_JTAG, DIS_DOWNLOAD_MANUAL_ENCRYPT, DIS_USB_JTAG, DIS_USB_SERIAL_JTAG, STRAP_JTAG_SEL, USB_PHY_SEL.

CONFIG_SECURE_FLASH_CHECK_ENC_EN_IN_APP

Check Flash Encryption enabled on app startup

Found in: Security features

If set (default), in an app during startup code, there is a check of the flash encryption eFuse bit is on (as the bootloader should already have set it). The app requires this bit is on to continue work otherwise abort.

If not set, the app does not care if the flash encryption eFuse bit is set or not.

Default value:

CONFIG_SECURE_UART_ROM_DL_MODE

UART ROM download mode

Found in: Security features

Available options:

  • UART ROM download mode (Permanently disabled (recommended)) (CONFIG_SECURE_DISABLE_ROM_DL_MODE)

    If set, during startup the app will burn an eFuse bit to permanently disable the UART ROM Download Mode. This prevents any future use of esptool.py, espefuse.py and similar tools.

    Once disabled, if the SoC is booted with strapping pins set for ROM Download Mode then an error is printed instead.

    It is recommended to enable this option in any production application where Flash Encryption and/or Secure Boot is enabled and access to Download Mode is not required.

    It is also possible to permanently disable Download Mode by calling esp_efuse_disable_rom_download_mode() at runtime.

  • UART ROM download mode (Permanently switch to Secure mode (recommended)) (CONFIG_SECURE_ENABLE_SECURE_ROM_DL_MODE)

    If set, during startup the app will burn an eFuse bit to permanently switch the UART ROM Download Mode into a separate Secure Download mode. This option can only work if Download Mode is not already disabled by eFuse.

    Secure Download mode limits the use of Download Mode functions to update SPI config, changing baud rate, basic flash write and a command to return a summary of currently enabled security features (get_security_info).

    Secure Download mode is not compatible with the esptool.py flasher stub feature, espefuse.py, read/writing memory or registers, encrypted download, or any other features that interact with unsupported Download Mode commands.

    Secure Download mode should be enabled in any application where Flash Encryption and/or Secure Boot is enabled. Disabling this option does not immediately cancel the benefits of the security features, but it increases the potential “attack surface” for an attacker to try and bypass them with a successful physical attack.

    It is also possible to enable secure download mode at runtime by calling esp_efuse_enable_rom_secure_download_mode()

    Note: Secure Download mode is not available for ESP32 (includes revisions till ECO3).

  • UART ROM download mode (Enabled (not recommended)) (CONFIG_SECURE_INSECURE_ALLOW_DL_MODE)

    This is a potentially insecure option. Enabling this option will allow the full UART download mode to stay enabled. This option SHOULD NOT BE ENABLED for production use cases.

Application manager

Contains:

CONFIG_APP_COMPILE_TIME_DATE

Use time/date stamp for app

Found in: Application manager

If set, then the app will be built with the current time/date stamp. It is stored in the app description structure. If not set, time/date stamp will be excluded from app image. This can be useful for getting the same binary image files made from the same source, but at different times.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_APP_EXCLUDE_PROJECT_VER_VAR

Exclude PROJECT_VER from firmware image

Found in: Application manager

The PROJECT_VER variable from the build system will not affect the firmware image. This value will not be contained in the esp_app_desc structure.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_EXCLUDE_PROJECT_NAME_VAR

Exclude PROJECT_NAME from firmware image

Found in: Application manager

The PROJECT_NAME variable from the build system will not affect the firmware image. This value will not be contained in the esp_app_desc structure.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_PROJECT_VER_FROM_CONFIG

Get the project version from Kconfig

Found in: Application manager

If this is enabled, then config item APP_PROJECT_VER will be used for the variable PROJECT_VER. Other ways to set PROJECT_VER will be ignored.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_APP_PROJECT_VER

Project version

Found in: Application manager > CONFIG_APP_PROJECT_VER_FROM_CONFIG

Project version

Default value:

CONFIG_APP_RETRIEVE_LEN_ELF_SHA

The length of APP ELF SHA is stored in RAM(chars)

Found in: Application manager

At startup, the app will read this many hex characters from the embedded APP ELF SHA-256 hash value and store it in static RAM. This ensures the app ELF SHA-256 value is always available if it needs to be printed by the panic handler code. Changing this value will change the size of a static buffer, in bytes.

Range:

  • from 8 to 64

Default value:

  • 16

Serial flasher config

Contains:

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_NO_STUB

Disable download stub

Found in: Serial flasher config

The flasher tool sends a precompiled download stub first by default. That stub allows things like compressed downloads and more. Usually you should not need to disable that feature

Default value:

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHMODE

Flash SPI mode

Found in: Serial flasher config

Mode the flash chip is flashed in, as well as the default mode for the binary to run in.

Available options:

  • QIO (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHMODE_QIO)

  • 128 MB (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE_128MB)

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_HEADER_FLASHSIZE_UPDATE

Detect flash size when flashing bootloader

Found in: Serial flasher config

If this option is set, flashing the project will automatically detect the flash size of the target chip and update the bootloader image before it is flashed.

Enabling this option turns off the image protection against corruption by a SHA256 digest. Updating the bootloader image before flashing would invalidate the digest.

Default value:

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_BEFORE

Before flashing

Found in: Serial flasher config

Configure whether esptool.py should reset the ESP32 before flashing.

Automatic resetting depends on the RTS & DTR signals being wired from the serial port to the ESP32. Most USB development boards do this internally.

Available options:

  • Reset to bootloader (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_BEFORE_RESET)

  • No reset (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_BEFORE_NORESET)

CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_AFTER

After flashing

Found in: Serial flasher config

Configure whether esptool.py should reset the ESP32 after flashing.

Automatic resetting depends on the RTS & DTR signals being wired from the serial port to the ESP32. Most USB development boards do this internally.

Available options:

  • Reset after flashing (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_AFTER_RESET)

  • Stay in bootloader (CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_AFTER_NORESET)

Partition Table

Contains:

CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_TYPE

Partition Table

Found in: Partition Table

The partition table to flash to the ESP32. The partition table determines where apps, data and other resources are expected to be found.

The predefined partition table CSV descriptions can be found in the components/partition_table directory. These are mostly intended for example and development use, it’s expect that for production use you will copy one of these CSV files and create a custom partition CSV for your application.

Available options:

  • Single factory app, no OTA (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_SINGLE_APP)

    This is the default partition table, designed to fit into a 2MB or larger flash with a single 1MB app partition.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_singleapp.csv

    This partition table is not suitable for an app that needs OTA (over the air update) capability.

  • Single factory app (large), no OTA (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_SINGLE_APP_LARGE)

    This is a variation of the default partition table, that expands the 1MB app partition size to 1.5MB to fit more code.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_singleapp_large.csv

    This partition table is not suitable for an app that needs OTA (over the air update) capability.

  • Factory app, two OTA definitions (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_TWO_OTA)

    This is a basic OTA-enabled partition table with a factory app partition plus two OTA app partitions. All are 1MB, so this partition table requires 4MB or larger flash size.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_two_ota.csv

  • Custom partition table CSV (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_CUSTOM)

    Specify the path to the partition table CSV to use for your project.

    Consult the Partition Table section in the ESP-IDF Programmers Guide for more information.

  • Single factory app, no OTA, encrypted NVS (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_SINGLE_APP_ENCRYPTED_NVS)

    This is a variation of the default “Single factory app, no OTA” partition table that supports encrypted NVS when using flash encryption. See the Flash Encryption section in the ESP-IDF Programmers Guide for more information.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_singleapp_encr_nvs.csv

  • Single factory app (large), no OTA, encrypted NVS (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_SINGLE_APP_LARGE_ENC_NVS)

    This is a variation of the “Single factory app (large), no OTA” partition table that supports encrypted NVS when using flash encryption. See the Flash Encryption section in the ESP-IDF Programmers Guide for more information.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_singleapp_large_encr_nvs.csv

  • Factory app, two OTA definitions, encrypted NVS (CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_TWO_OTA_ENCRYPTED_NVS)

    This is a variation of the “Factory app, two OTA definitions” partition table that supports encrypted NVS when using flash encryption. See the Flash Encryption section in the ESP-IDF Programmers Guide for more information.

    The corresponding CSV file in the IDF directory is components/partition_table/partitions_two_ota_encr_nvs.csv

CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_CUSTOM_FILENAME

Custom partition CSV file

Found in: Partition Table

Name of the custom partition CSV filename. This path is evaluated relative to the project root directory.

Default value:

  • “partitions.csv”

CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET

Offset of partition table

Found in: Partition Table

The address of partition table (by default 0x8000). Allows you to move the partition table, it gives more space for the bootloader. Note that the bootloader and app will both need to be compiled with the same PARTITION_TABLE_OFFSET value.

This number should be a multiple of 0x1000.

Note that partition offsets in the partition table CSV file may need to be changed if this value is set to a higher value. To have each partition offset adapt to the configured partition table offset, leave all partition offsets blank in the CSV file.

Default value:

  • “0x8000”

CONFIG_PARTITION_TABLE_MD5

Generate an MD5 checksum for the partition table

Found in: Partition Table

Generate an MD5 checksum for the partition table for protecting the integrity of the table. The generation should be turned off for legacy bootloaders which cannot recognize the MD5 checksum in the partition table.

Default value:

Compiler options

Contains:

CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION

Optimization Level

Found in: Compiler options

This option sets compiler optimization level (gcc -O argument) for the app.

  • The “Default” setting will add the -0g flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “Size” setting will add the -0s flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “Performance” setting will add the -O2 flag to CFLAGS.

  • The “None” setting will add the -O0 flag to CFLAGS.

The “Size” setting cause the compiled code to be smaller and faster, but may lead to difficulties of correlating code addresses to source file lines when debugging.

The “Performance” setting causes the compiled code to be larger and faster, but will be easier to correlated code addresses to source file lines.

“None” with -O0 produces compiled code without optimization.

Note that custom optimization levels may be unsupported.

Compiler optimization for the IDF bootloader is set separately, see the BOOTLOADER_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION setting.

Available options:

  • Debug (-Og) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_DEFAULT)

  • Optimize for size (-Os) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_SIZE)

  • Optimize for performance (-O2) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_PERF)

  • Debug without optimization (-O0) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_NONE)

CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_ASSERTION_LEVEL

Assertion level

Found in: Compiler options

Assertions can be:

  • Enabled. Failure will print verbose assertion details. This is the default.

  • Set to “silent” to save code size (failed assertions will abort() but user needs to use the aborting address to find the line number with the failed assertion.)

  • Disabled entirely (not recommended for most configurations.) -DNDEBUG is added to CPPFLAGS in this case.

Available options:

  • Enabled (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_ASSERTIONS_ENABLE)

    Enable assertions. Assertion content and line number will be printed on failure.

  • Silent (saves code size) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_ASSERTIONS_SILENT)

    Enable silent assertions. Failed assertions will abort(), user needs to use the aborting address to find the line number with the failed assertion.

  • Disabled (sets -DNDEBUG) (CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_ASSERTIONS_DISABLE)

    If assertions are disabled, -DNDEBUG is added to CPPFLAGS.

CONFIG_COMPILER_FLOAT_LIB_FROM

Compiler float lib source

Found in: Compiler options

In the soft-fp part of libgcc, riscv version is written in C, and handles all edge cases in IEEE754, which makes it larger and performance is slow.

RVfplib is an optimized RISC-V library for FP arithmetic on 32-bit integer processors, for single and double-precision FP. RVfplib is “fast”, but it has a few exceptions from IEEE 754 compliance.

Available options:

  • libgcc (CONFIG_COMPILER_FLOAT_LIB_FROM_GCCLIB)

  • librvfp (CONFIG_COMPILER_FLOAT_LIB_FROM_RVFPLIB)

CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION_CHECKS_SILENT

Disable messages in ESP_RETURN_ON_* and ESP_EXIT_ON_* macros

Found in: Compiler options

If enabled, the error messages will be discarded in following check macros: - ESP_RETURN_ON_ERROR - ESP_EXIT_ON_ERROR - ESP_RETURN_ON_FALSE - ESP_EXIT_ON_FALSE

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_COMPILER_HIDE_PATHS_MACROS

Replace ESP-IDF and project paths in binaries

Found in: Compiler options

When expanding the __FILE__ and __BASE_FILE__ macros, replace paths inside ESP-IDF with paths relative to the placeholder string “IDF”, and convert paths inside the project directory to relative paths.

This allows building the project with assertions or other code that embeds file paths, without the binary containing the exact path to the IDF or project directories.

This option passes -fmacro-prefix-map options to the GCC command line. To replace additional paths in your binaries, modify the project CMakeLists.txt file to pass custom -fmacro-prefix-map or -ffile-prefix-map arguments.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS

Enable C++ exceptions

Found in: Compiler options

Enabling this option compiles all IDF C++ files with exception support enabled.

Disabling this option disables C++ exception support in all compiled files, and any libstdc++ code which throws an exception will abort instead.

Enabling this option currently adds an additional ~500 bytes of heap overhead when an exception is thrown in user code for the first time.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

Contains:

CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS_EMG_POOL_SIZE

Emergency Pool Size

Found in: Compiler options > CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_EXCEPTIONS

Default value:

CONFIG_COMPILER_CXX_RTTI

Enable C++ run-time type info (RTTI)

Found in: Compiler options

Enabling this option compiles all C++ files with RTTI support enabled. This increases binary size (typically by tens of kB) but allows using dynamic_cast conversion and typeid operator.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_COMPILER_STACK_CHECK_MODE

Stack smashing protection mode

Found in: Compiler options

Stack smashing protection mode. Emit extra code to check for buffer overflows, such as stack smashing attacks. This is done by adding a guard variable to functions with vulnerable objects. The guards are initialized when a function is entered and then checked when the function exits. If a guard check fails, program is halted. Protection has the following modes:

  • In NORMAL mode (GCC flag: -fstack-protector) only functions that call alloca, and functions with buffers larger than 8 bytes are protected.

  • STRONG mode (GCC flag: -fstack-protector-strong) is like NORMAL, but includes additional functions to be protected – those that have local array definitions, or have references to local frame addresses.

  • In OVERALL mode (GCC flag: -fstack-protector-all) all functions are protected.

Modes have the following impact on code performance and coverage:

  • performance: NORMAL > STRONG > OVERALL

  • coverage: NORMAL < STRONG < OVERALL

The performance impact includes increasing the amount of stack memory required for each task.

Available options:

  • None (CONFIG_COMPILER_STACK_CHECK_MODE_NONE)

  • Normal (CONFIG_COMPILER_STACK_CHECK_MODE_NORM)

  • Strong (CONFIG_COMPILER_STACK_CHECK_MODE_STRONG)

  • Overall (CONFIG_COMPILER_STACK_CHECK_MODE_ALL)

CONFIG_COMPILER_WARN_WRITE_STRINGS

Enable -Wwrite-strings warning flag

Found in: Compiler options

Adds -Wwrite-strings flag for the C/C++ compilers.

For C++, this warns about the deprecated conversion from string literals to char \*.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_COMPILER_DISABLE_GCC12_WARNINGS

CONFIG_BTDM_BLE_SLEEP_CLOCK_ACCURACY

BLE Sleep Clock Accuracy

Found in: Component config > Bluetooth > Controller Options

BLE Sleep Clock Accuracy(SCA) for the local device is used to estimate window widening in BLE connection events. With a lower level of clock accuracy(e.g. 500ppm over 250ppm), the slave needs a larger RX window to synchronize with master in each anchor point, thus resulting in an increase of power consumption but a higher level of robustness in keeping connected. According to the requirements of Bluetooth Core specification 4.2, the worst-case accuracy of Classic Bluetooth low power oscialltor(LPO) is +/-250ppm in STANDBY and in low power modes such as sniff. For BLE the worst-case SCA is +/-500ppm.

If the device is a BLE Mesh node, when this option is enabled, the configuration of the device will be stored persistently, including unicast address, NetKey, AppKey, etc. And if the device is a BLE Mesh Provisioner, the information of the device will be stored persistently, including the information of provisioned nodes, NetKey, AppKey, etc.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_STORE_TIMEOUT

Delay (in seconds) before storing anything persistently

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

This value defines in seconds how soon any pending changes are actually written into persistent storage (flash) after a change occurs. The option allows nodes to delay a certain period of time to save proper information to flash. The default value is 0, which means information will be stored immediately once there are updates.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SEQ_STORE_RATE

How often the sequence number gets updated in storage

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

This value defines how often the local sequence number gets updated in persistent storage (i.e. flash). e.g. a value of 100 means that the sequence number will be stored to flash on every 100th increment. If the node sends messages very frequently a higher value makes more sense, whereas if the node sends infrequently a value as low as 0 (update storage for every increment) can make sense. When the stack gets initialized it will add sequence number to the last stored one, so that it starts off with a value that’s guaranteed to be larger than the last one used before power off.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_RPL_STORE_TIMEOUT

Minimum frequency that the RPL gets updated in storage

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

This value defines in seconds how soon the RPL (Replay Protection List) gets written to persistent storage after a change occurs. If the node receives messages frequently, then a large value is recommended. If the node receives messages rarely, then the value can be as low as 0 (which means the RPL is written into the storage immediately). Note that if the node operates in a security-sensitive case, and there is a risk of sudden power-off, then a value of 0 is strongly recommended. Otherwise, a power loss before RPL being written into the storage may introduce message replay attacks and system security will be in a vulnerable state.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS_BACKWARD_COMPATIBILITY

A specific option for settings backward compatibility

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

This option is created to solve the issue of failure in recovering node information after mesh stack updates. In the old version mesh stack, there is no key of “mesh/role” in nvs. In the new version mesh stack, key of “mesh/role” is added in nvs, recovering node information needs to check “mesh/role” key in nvs and implements selective recovery of mesh node information. Therefore, there may be failure in recovering node information during node restarting after OTA.

The new version mesh stack adds the option of “mesh/role” because we have added the support of storing Provisioner information, while the old version only supports storing node information.

If users are updating their nodes from old version to new version, we recommend enabling this option, so that system could set the flag in advance before recovering node information and make sure the node information recovering could work as expected.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SPECIFIC_PARTITION

Use a specific NVS partition for BLE Mesh

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

When selected, the mesh stack will use a specified NVS partition instead of default NVS partition. Note that the specified partition must be registered with NVS using nvs_flash_init_partition() API, and the partition must exists in the csv file. When Provisioner needs to store a large amount of nodes’ information in the flash (e.g. more than 20), this option is recommended to be enabled.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_PARTITION_NAME

Name of the NVS partition for BLE Mesh

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SPECIFIC_PARTITION

This value defines the name of the specified NVS partition used by the mesh stack.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_USE_MULTIPLE_NAMESPACE

Support using multiple NVS namespaces by Provisioner

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS

When selected, Provisioner can use different NVS namespaces to store different instances of mesh information. For example, if in the first room, Provisioner uses NetKey A, AppKey A and provisions three devices, these information will be treated as mesh information instance A. When the Provisioner moves to the second room, it uses NetKey B, AppKey B and provisions two devices, then the information will be treated as mesh information instance B. Here instance A and instance B will be stored in different namespaces. With this option enabled, Provisioner needs to use specific functions to open the corresponding NVS namespace, restore the mesh information, release the mesh information or erase the mesh information.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_MAX_NVS_NAMESPACE

Maximum number of NVS namespaces

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SETTINGS > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_USE_MULTIPLE_NAMESPACE

This option specifies the maximum NVS namespaces supported by Provisioner.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_SUBNET_COUNT

Maximum number of mesh subnets per network

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies how many subnets a Mesh network can have at the same time. Indeed, this value decides the number of the network keys which can be owned by a node.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_APP_KEY_COUNT

Maximum number of application keys per network

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies how many application keys the device can store per network. Indeed, this value decides the number of the application keys which can be owned by a node.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_MODEL_KEY_COUNT

Maximum number of application keys per model

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies the maximum number of application keys to which each model can be bound.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_MODEL_GROUP_COUNT

Maximum number of group address subscriptions per model

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies the maximum number of addresses to which each model can be subscribed.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LABEL_COUNT

Maximum number of Label UUIDs used for Virtual Addresses

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies how many Label UUIDs can be stored. Indeed, this value decides the number of the Virtual Addresses can be supported by a node.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_CRPL

Maximum capacity of the replay protection list

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

This option specifies the maximum capacity of the replay protection list. It is similar to Network message cache size, but has a different purpose. The replay protection list is used to prevent a node from replay attack, which will store the source address and sequence number of the received mesh messages. For Provisioner, the replay protection list size should not be smaller than the maximum number of nodes whose information can be stored. And the element number of each node should also be taken into consideration. For example, if Provisioner can provision up to 20 nodes and each node contains two elements, then the replay protection list size of Provisioner should be at least 40.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_MSG_CACHE_SIZE

Network message cache size

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Number of messages that are cached for the network. This helps prevent unnecessary decryption operations and unnecessary relays. This option is similar to Replay protection list, but has a different purpose. A node is not required to cache the entire Network PDU and may cache only part of it for tracking, such as values for SRC/SEQ or others.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_ADV_BUF_COUNT

Number of advertising buffers

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Number of advertising buffers available. The transport layer reserves ADV_BUF_COUNT - 3 buffers for outgoing segments. The maximum outgoing SDU size is 12 times this value (out of which 4 or 8 bytes are used for the Transport Layer MIC). For example, 5 segments means the maximum SDU size is 60 bytes, which leaves 56 bytes for application layer data using a 4-byte MIC, or 52 bytes using an 8-byte MIC.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_IVU_DIVIDER

Divider for IV Update state refresh timer

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

When the IV Update state enters Normal operation or IV Update in Progress, we need to keep track of how many hours has passed in the state, since the specification requires us to remain in the state at least for 96 hours (Update in Progress has an additional upper limit of 144 hours).

In order to fulfill the above requirement, even if the node might be powered off once in a while, we need to store persistently how many hours the node has been in the state. This doesn’t necessarily need to happen every hour (thanks to the flexible duration range). The exact cadence will depend a lot on the ways that the node will be used and what kind of power source it has.

Since there is no single optimal answer, this configuration option allows specifying a divider, i.e. how many intervals the 96 hour minimum gets split into. After each interval the duration that the node has been in the current state gets stored to flash. E.g. the default value of 4 means that the state is saved every 24 hours (96 / 4).

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_IVU_RECOVERY_IVI

Recovery the IV index when the latest whole IV update procedure is missed

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

According to Section 3.10.5 of Mesh Specification v1.0.1. If a node in Normal Operation receives a Secure Network beacon with an IV index equal to the last known IV index+1 and the IV Update Flag set to 0, the node may update its IV without going to the IV Update in Progress state, or it may initiate an IV Index Recovery procedure (Section 3.10.6), or it may ignore the Secure Network beacon. The node makes the choice depending on the time since last IV update and the likelihood that the node has missed the Secure Network beacons with the IV update Flag. When the above situation is encountered, this option can be used to decide whether to perform the IV index recovery procedure.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_TX_SEG_MSG_COUNT

Maximum number of simultaneous outgoing segmented messages

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Maximum number of simultaneous outgoing multi-segment and/or reliable messages. The default value is 1, which means the device can only send one segmented message at a time. And if another segmented message is going to be sent, it should wait for the completion of the previous one. If users are going to send multiple segmented messages at the same time, this value should be configured properly.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_RX_SEG_MSG_COUNT

Maximum number of simultaneous incoming segmented messages

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Maximum number of simultaneous incoming multi-segment and/or reliable messages. The default value is 1, which means the device can only receive one segmented message at a time. And if another segmented message is going to be received, it should wait for the completion of the previous one. If users are going to receive multiple segmented messages at the same time, this value should be configured properly.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_RX_SDU_MAX

Maximum incoming Upper Transport Access PDU length

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Maximum incoming Upper Transport Access PDU length. Leave this to the default value, unless you really need to optimize memory usage.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_TX_SEG_MAX

Maximum number of segments in outgoing messages

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Maximum number of segments supported for outgoing messages. This value should typically be fine-tuned based on what models the local node supports, i.e. what’s the largest message payload that the node needs to be able to send. This value affects memory and call stack consumption, which is why the default is lower than the maximum that the specification would allow (32 segments).

The maximum outgoing SDU size is 12 times this number (out of which 4 or 8 bytes is used for the Transport Layer MIC). For example, 5 segments means the maximum SDU size is 60 bytes, which leaves 56 bytes for application layer data using a 4-byte MIC and 52 bytes using an 8-byte MIC.

Be sure to specify a sufficient number of advertising buffers when setting this option to a higher value. There must be at least three more advertising buffers (BLE_MESH_ADV_BUF_COUNT) as there are outgoing segments.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_RELAY

Relay support

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH

Support for acting as a Mesh Relay Node. Enabling this option will allow a node to support the Relay feature, and the Relay feature can still be enabled or disabled by proper configuration messages. Disabling this option will let a node not support the Relay feature.

CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LPN_ESTABLISHMENT

Perform Friendship establishment using low power

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

Perform the Friendship establishment using low power with the help of a reduced scan duty cycle. The downside of this is that the node may miss out on messages intended for it until it has successfully set up Friendship with a Friend node. When this option is enabled, the node will stop scanning for a period of time after a Friend Request or Friend Poll is sent, so as to reduce more power consumption.

Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LPN_AUTO

Automatically start looking for Friend nodes once provisioned

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

Once provisioned, automatically enable LPN functionality and start looking for Friend nodes. If this option is disabled LPN mode needs to be manually enabled by calling bt_mesh_lpn_set(true). When an unprovisioned device is provisioned successfully and becomes a node, enabling this option will trigger the node starts to send Friend Request at a certain period until it finds a proper Friend node.

Default value:

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

The MinQueueSizeLog field is defined as log_2(N), where N is the minimum number of maximum size Lower Transport PDUs that the Friend node can store in its Friend Queue. As an example, MinQueueSizeLog value 1 gives N = 2, and value 7 gives N = 128.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LPN_RECV_DELAY

Receive delay requested by the local node

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LPN_POLL_TIMEOUT

The value of the PollTimeout timer

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

PollTimeout timer is used to measure time between two consecutive requests sent by a Low Power node. If no requests are received the Friend node before the PollTimeout timer expires, then the friendship is considered terminated. The value is in units of 100 milliseconds, so e.g. a value of 300 means 30 seconds. The smaller the value, the faster the Low Power node tries to get messages from corresponding Friend node and vice versa.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LPN_INIT_POLL_TIMEOUT

The starting value of the PollTimeout timer

Found in: Component config > CONFIG_BLE_MESH > CONFIG_BLE_MESH_LOW_POWER

The initial value of the PollTimeout timer when Friendship is to be established for the first time. After this, the timeout gradually grows toward the actual PollTimeout, doubling in value for each iteration. The value is in units of 100 milliseconds, so e.g. a value of 300 means 30 seconds.

Driver Configurations

Contains:

Legacy ADC Configuration

Contains:

CONFIG_ADC_DISABLE_DAC

Disable DAC when ADC2 is used on GPIO 25 and 26

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > Legacy ADC Configuration

If this is set, the ADC2 driver will disable the output of the DAC corresponding to the specified channel. This is the default value.

For testing, disable this option so that we can measure the output of DAC by internal ADC.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_ADC_CALI_SUPPRESS_DEPRECATE_WARN

Suppress legacy driver deprecated warning

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > Legacy ADC Configuration > Legacy ADC Calibration Configuration

Wether to suppress the deprecation warnings when using legacy adc calibration driver (esp_adc_cal.h). If you want to continue using the legacy driver, and don’t want to see related deprecation warnings, you can enable this option.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

SPI Configuration

Contains:

CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_IN_IRAM

Place transmitting functions of SPI master into IRAM

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > SPI Configuration

Normally only the ISR of SPI master is placed in the IRAM, so that it can work without the flash when interrupt is triggered. For other functions, there’s some possibility that the flash cache miss when running inside and out of SPI functions, which may increase the interval of SPI transactions. Enable this to put queue\_trans, get\_trans\_result and transmit functions into the IRAM to avoid possible cache miss.

This configuration won’t be available if CONFIG_FREERTOS_PLACE_FUNCTIONS_INTO_FLASH is enabled.

During unit test, this is enabled to measure the ideal case of api.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM

Place SPI master ISR function into IRAM

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > SPI Configuration

Place the SPI master ISR in to IRAM to avoid possible cache miss.

Enabling this configuration is possible only when HEAP_PLACE_FUNCTION_INTO_FLASH is disabled since the spi master uses can allocate transactions buffers into DMA memory section using the heap component API that ipso facto has to be placed in IRAM.

Also you can forbid the ISR being disabled during flash writing access, by add ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM when initializing the driver.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_SLAVE_IN_IRAM

Place transmitting functions of SPI slave into IRAM

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > SPI Configuration

Normally only the ISR of SPI slave is placed in the IRAM, so that it can work without the flash when interrupt is triggered. For other functions, there’s some possibility that the flash cache miss when running inside and out of SPI functions, which may increase the interval of SPI transactions. Enable this to put queue\_trans, get\_trans\_result and transmit functions into the IRAM to avoid possible cache miss.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_SPI_SLAVE_ISR_IN_IRAM

Place SPI slave ISR function into IRAM

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > SPI Configuration

TWAI Configuration

Contains:

CONFIG_TWAI_ISR_IN_IRAM

Place TWAI ISR function into IRAM

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

Place the TWAI ISR in to IRAM. This will allow the ISR to avoid cache misses, and also be able to run whilst the cache is disabled (such as when writing to SPI Flash). Note that if this option is enabled: - Users should also set the ESP_INTR_FLAG_IRAM in the driver configuration structure when installing the driver (see docs for specifics). - Alert logging (i.e., setting of the TWAI_ALERT_AND_LOG flag) will have no effect.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_TWAI_ERRATA_FIX_BUS_OFF_REC

Add SW workaround for REC change during bus-off

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

When the bus-off condition is reached, the REC should be reset to 0 and frozen (via LOM) by the driver’s ISR. However on the ESP32, there is an edge case where the REC will increase before the driver’s ISR can respond in time (e.g., due to the rapid occurrence of bus errors), thus causing the REC to be non-zero after bus-off. A non-zero REC can prevent bus-off recovery as the bus-off recovery condition is that both TEC and REC become 0. Enabling this option will add a workaround in the driver to forcibly reset REC to zero on reaching bus-off.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_TWAI_ERRATA_FIX_TX_INTR_LOST

Add SW workaround for TX interrupt lost errata

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

On the ESP32, when a transmit interrupt occurs, and interrupt register is read on the same APB clock cycle, the transmit interrupt could be lost. Enabling this option will add a workaround that checks the transmit buffer status bit to recover any lost transmit interrupt.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_TWAI_ERRATA_FIX_RX_FRAME_INVALID

Add SW workaround for invalid RX frame errata

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

On the ESP32, when receiving a data or remote frame, if a bus error occurs in the data or CRC field, the data of the next received frame could be invalid. Enabling this option will add a workaround that will reset the peripheral on detection of this errata condition. Note that if a frame is transmitted on the bus whilst the reset is ongoing, the message will not be receive by the peripheral sent on the bus during the reset, the message will be lost.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_TWAI_ERRATA_FIX_RX_FIFO_CORRUPT

Add SW workaround for RX FIFO corruption errata

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

On the ESP32, when the RX FIFO overruns and the RX message counter maxes out at 64 messages, the entire RX FIFO is no longer recoverable. Enabling this option will add a workaround that resets the peripheral on detection of this errata condition. Note that if a frame is being sent on the bus during the reset bus during the reset, the message will be lost.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_TWAI_ERRATA_FIX_LISTEN_ONLY_DOM

Add SW workaround for listen only transmits dominant bit errata

Found in: Component config > Driver Configurations > TWAI Configuration

When in the listen only mode, the TWAI controller must not influence the TWAI bus (i.e., must not send any dominant bits). However, while in listen only mode on the ESP32/ESP32-S2/ESP32-S3/ESP32-C3, the TWAI controller will still transmit dominant bits when it detects an error (i.e., as part of an active error frame). Enabling this option will add a workaround that forces the TWAI controller into an error passive state on initialization, thus preventing any dominant bits from being sent.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

Chip revision

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN

Minimum Supported ESP32 Revision

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Chip revision

Required minimum chip revision. ESP-IDF will check for it and reject to boot if the chip revision fails the check. This ensures the chip used will have some modifications (features, or bugfixes).

The complied binary will only support chips above this revision, this will also help to reduce binary size.

Available options:

  • Rev v0.0 (ECO0) (CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN_0)

  • Rev v1.0 (ECO1) (CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN_1)

  • Rev v1.1 (ECO1.1) (CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN_1_1)

MAC Config

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP32_UNIVERSAL_MAC_ADDRESSES

Number of universally administered (by IEEE) MAC address

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > MAC Config

Configure the number of universally administered (by IEEE) MAC addresses. During initialization, MAC addresses for each network interface are generated or derived from a single base MAC address. If the number of universal MAC addresses is four, all four interfaces (WiFi station, WiFi softap, Bluetooth and Ethernet) receive a universally administered MAC address. These are generated sequentially by adding 0, 1, 2 and 3 (respectively) to the final octet of the base MAC address. If the number of universal MAC addresses is two, only two interfaces (WiFi station and Bluetooth) receive a universally administered MAC address. These are generated sequentially by adding 0 and 1 (respectively) to the base MAC address. The remaining two interfaces (WiFi softap and Ethernet) receive local MAC addresses. These are derived from the universal WiFi station and Bluetooth MAC addresses, respectively. When using the default (Espressif-assigned) base MAC address, either setting can be used. When using a custom universal MAC address range, the correct setting will depend on the allocation of MAC addresses in this range (either 2 or 4 per device.)

Available options:

  • Two (CONFIG_ESP32_UNIVERSAL_MAC_ADDRESSES_TWO)

  • Four (CONFIG_ESP32_UNIVERSAL_MAC_ADDRESSES_FOUR)

CONFIG_ESP_MAC_IGNORE_MAC_CRC_ERROR

Sleep Config

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_POWER_DOWN_FLASH

Power down flash in light sleep when there is no SPIRAM

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

If enabled, chip will try to power down flash as part of esp_light_sleep_start(), which costs more time when chip wakes up. Can only be enabled if there is no SPIRAM configured.

This option will power down flash under a strict but relatively safe condition. Also, it is possible to power down flash under a relaxed condition by using esp_sleep_pd_config() to set ESP_PD_DOMAIN_VDDSDIO to ESP_PD_OPTION_OFF. It should be noted that there is a risk in powering down flash, you can refer ESP-IDF Programming Guide/API Reference/System API/Sleep Modes/Power-down of Flash for more details.

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_FLASH_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND

Pull-up Flash CS pin in light sleep

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

All IOs will be set to isolate(floating) state by default during sleep. Since the power supply of SPI Flash is not lost during lightsleep, if its CS pin is recognized as low level(selected state) in the floating state, there will be a large current leakage, and the data in Flash may be corrupted by random signals on other SPI pins. Select this option will set the CS pin of Flash to PULL-UP state during sleep, but this will increase the sleep current about 10 uA. If you are developing with esp32xx modules, you must select this option, but if you are developing with chips, you can also pull up the CS pin of SPI Flash in the external circuit to save power consumption caused by internal pull-up during sleep. (!!! Don’t deselect this option if you don’t have external SPI Flash CS pin pullups.)

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_PSRAM_LEAKAGE_WORKAROUND

Pull-up PSRAM CS pin in light sleep

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

All IOs will be set to isolate(floating) state by default during sleep. Since the power supply of PSRAM is not lost during lightsleep, if its CS pin is recognized as low level(selected state) in the floating state, there will be a large current leakage, and the data in PSRAM may be corrupted by random signals on other SPI pins. Select this option will set the CS pin of PSRAM to PULL-UP state during sleep, but this will increase the sleep current about 10 uA. If you are developing with esp32xx modules, you must select this option, but if you are developing with chips, you can also pull up the CS pin of PSRAM in the external circuit to save power consumption caused by internal pull-up during sleep. (!!! Don’t deselect this option if you don’t have external PSRAM CS pin pullups.)

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_MSPI_NEED_ALL_IO_PU

Pull-up all SPI pins in light sleep

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

To reduce leakage current, some types of SPI Flash/RAM only need to pull up the CS pin during light sleep. But there are also some kinds of SPI Flash/RAM that need to pull up all pins. It depends on the SPI Flash/RAM chip used.

CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_GPIO_RESET_WORKAROUND

light sleep GPIO reset workaround

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

esp32c2, esp32c3, esp32s3, esp32c6 and esp32h2 will reset at wake-up if GPIO is received a small electrostatic pulse during light sleep, with specific condition

  • GPIO needs to be configured as input-mode only

  • The pin receives a small electrostatic pulse, and reset occurs when the pulse voltage is higher than 6 V

For GPIO set to input mode only, it is not a good practice to leave it open/floating, The hardware design needs to controlled it with determined supply or ground voltage is necessary.

This option provides a software workaround for this issue. Configure to isolate all GPIO pins in sleep state.

CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_DEEP_SLEEP_WAKEUP_DELAY

Extra delay in deep sleep wake stub (in us)

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > Sleep Config

When the chip exits deep sleep, the CPU and the flash chip are powered on at the same time. CPU will run deep sleep stub first, and then proceed to load code from flash. Some flash chips need sufficient time to pass between power on and first read operation. By default, without any extra delay, this time is approximately 900us, although some flash chip types need more than that.

By default extra delay is set to 2000us. When optimizing startup time for applications which require it, this value may be reduced.

If you are seeing “flash read err, 1000” message printed to the console after deep sleep reset, try increasing this value.

Range:

  • from 0 to 5000

Default value:

  • 2000

CONFIG_ESP_SLEEP_GPIO_ENABLE_INTERNAL_RESISTORS

Allow to enable internal pull-up/downs for the Deep-Sleep wakeup IOs

ESP_SLEEP_WORKAROUND
RTC Clock Config

Contains:

CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC

RTC clock source

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > RTC Clock Config

Choose which clock is used as RTC clock source.

  • “Internal 150kHz oscillator” option provides lowest deep sleep current

    consumption, and does not require extra external components. However frequency stability with respect to temperature is poor, so time may drift in deep/light sleep modes.

  • “External 32kHz crystal” provides better frequency stability, at the

    expense of slightly higher (1uA) deep sleep current consumption.

  • “External 32kHz oscillator” allows using 32kHz clock generated by an

    external circuit. In this case, external clock signal must be connected to 32K_XN pin. Amplitude should be <1.2V in case of sine wave signal, and <1V in case of square wave signal. Common mode voltage should be 0.1 < Vcm < 0.5Vamp, where Vamp is the signal amplitude. Additionally, 1nF capacitor must be connected between 32K_XP pin and ground. 32K_XP pin can not be used as a GPIO in this case.

  • “Internal 8.5MHz oscillator divided by 256” option results in higher

    deep sleep current (by 5uA) but has better frequency stability than the internal 150kHz oscillator. It does not require external components.

Available options:

  • Internal 150kHz RC oscillator (CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_INT_RC)

  • External 32kHz crystal (CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_EXT_CRYS)

  • External 32kHz oscillator at 32K_XN pin (CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_EXT_OSC)

  • Internal 8.5MHz oscillator, divided by 256 (~33kHz) (CONFIG_RTC_CLK_SRC_INT_8MD256)

CONFIG_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT_METHOD

Additional current for external 32kHz crystal

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > RTC Clock Config

With some 32kHz crystal configurations, the X32N and X32P pins may not have enough drive strength to keep the crystal oscillating. Choose the method to provide additional current from touchpad 9 to the external 32kHz crystal. Note that the deep sleep current is slightly high (4-5uA) and the touchpad and the wakeup sources of both touchpad and ULP are not available in method 1 and method 2.

This problem is fixed in ESP32 ECO 3, so this workaround is not needed. Setting the project configuration to minimum revision ECO3 will disable this option, , allow all wakeup sources, and save some code size.

  • “None” option will not provide additional current to external crystal

  • “Method 1” option can’t ensure 100% to solve the external 32k crystal start failed

    issue, but the touchpad can work in this method.

  • “Method 2” option can solve the external 32k issue, but the touchpad can’t work

    in this method.

Available options:

  • None (CONFIG_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT_NONE)

  • Method 1 (CONFIG_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT)

  • Method 2 (CONFIG_RTC_EXT_CRYST_ADDIT_CURRENT_V2)

CONFIG_RTC_CLK_CAL_CYCLES

Number of cycles for RTC_SLOW_CLK calibration

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > RTC Clock Config

When the startup code initializes RTC_SLOW_CLK, it can perform calibration by comparing the RTC_SLOW_CLK frequency with main XTAL frequency. This option sets the number of RTC_SLOW_CLK cycles measured by the calibration routine. Higher numbers increase calibration precision, which may be important for applications which spend a lot of time in deep sleep. Lower numbers reduce startup time.

When this option is set to 0, clock calibration will not be performed at startup, and approximate clock frequencies will be assumed:

  • 150000 Hz if internal RC oscillator is used as clock source. For this use value 1024.

  • 32768 Hz if the 32k crystal oscillator is used. For this use value 3000 or more.

    In case more value will help improve the definition of the launch of the crystal. If the crystal could not start, it will be switched to internal RC.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_RTC_XTAL_CAL_RETRY

Number of attempts to repeat 32k XTAL calibration

Found in: Component config > Hardware Settings > RTC Clock Config

Number of attempts to repeat 32k XTAL calibration before giving up and switching to the internal RC. Increase this option if the 32k crystal oscillator does not start and switches to internal RC.

Found in: Component config > PHY

When using USB Serial/JTAG/OTG/CDC, PHY should enable USB, otherwise USB module can not work properly. Notice: Enabling this configuration option will slightly impact wifi performance.

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_PHY_CALIBRATION_MODE

Calibration mode

Found in: Component config > PHY

Select PHY calibration mode. During RF initialization, the partial calibration method is used by default for RF calibration. Full calibration takes about 100ms more than partial calibration. If boot duration is not critical, it is suggested to use the full calibration method. No calibration method is only used when the device wakes up from deep sleep.

Available options:

Found in: Component config > PHY

This is a workaround to improve Wi-Fi receive 11b pkts for some modules using AC-DC power supply with high interference, enable this option will sacrifice Wi-Fi OFDM receive performance. But to guarantee 11b receive performance serves as a bottom line in this case.

Default value:

  • No (disabled) if SOC_PHY_IMPROVE_RX_11B

Power Management

Contains:

CONFIG_PM_ENABLE

Support for power management

Found in: Component config > Power Management

If enabled, application is compiled with support for power management. This option has run-time overhead (increased interrupt latency, longer time to enter idle state), and it also reduces accuracy of RTOS ticks and timers used for timekeeping. Enable this option if application uses power management APIs.

Default value:
CONFIG_PM_DFS_INIT_AUTO

Enable dynamic frequency scaling (DFS) at startup

Found in: Component config > Power Management > CONFIG_PM_ENABLE

If enabled, startup code configures dynamic frequency scaling. Max CPU frequency is set to DEFAULT_CPU_FREQ_MHZ setting, min frequency is set to XTAL frequency. If disabled, DFS will not be active until the application configures it using esp_pm_configure function.

Default value:
CONFIG_PM_PROFILING

Enable profiling counters for PM locks

Found in: Component config > Power Management > CONFIG_PM_ENABLE

If enabled, esp_pm_* functions will keep track of the amount of time each of the power management locks has been held, and esp_pm_dump_locks function will print this information. This feature can be used to analyze which locks are preventing the chip from going into a lower power state, and see what time the chip spends in each power saving mode. This feature does incur some run-time overhead, so should typically be disabled in production builds.

Default value:
CONFIG_PM_TRACE

Enable debug tracing of PM using GPIOs

Found in: Component config > Power Management > CONFIG_PM_ENABLE

If enabled, some GPIOs will be used to signal events such as RTOS ticks, frequency switching, entry/exit from idle state. Refer to pm_trace.c file for the list of GPIOs. This feature is intended to be used when analyzing/debugging behavior of power management implementation, and should be kept disabled in applications.

Default value:
CONFIG_PM_SLP_IRAM_OPT

Put lightsleep related codes in internal RAM

Found in: Component config > Power Management

If enabled, about 1.8KB of lightsleep related source code would be in IRAM and chip would sleep longer for 760us at most each time. This feature is intended to be used when lower power consumption is needed while there is enough place in IRAM to place source code.

CONFIG_PM_RTOS_IDLE_OPT

Put RTOS IDLE related codes in internal RAM

Found in: Component config > Power Management

If enabled, about 260B of RTOS_IDLE related source code would be in IRAM and chip would sleep longer for 40us at most each time. This feature is intended to be used when lower power consumption is needed while there is enough place in IRAM to place source code.

CONFIG_PM_SLP_DISABLE_GPIO

Disable all GPIO when chip at sleep

Found in: Component config > Power Management

This feature is intended to disable all GPIO pins at automantic sleep to get a lower power mode. If enabled, chips will disable all GPIO pins at automantic sleep to reduce about 200~300 uA current. If you want to specifically use some pins normally as chip wakes when chip sleeps, you can call ‘gpio_sleep_sel_dis’ to disable this feature on those pins. You can also keep this feature on and call ‘gpio_sleep_set_direction’ and ‘gpio_sleep_set_pull_mode’ to have a different GPIO configuration at sleep. Waring: If you want to enable this option on ESP32, you should enable GPIO_ESP32_SUPPORT_SWITCH_SLP_PULL at first, otherwise you will not be able to switch pullup/pulldown mode.

CONFIG_PM_POWER_DOWN_CPU_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP

Power down CPU in light sleep

Found in: Component config > Power Management

If enabled, the CPU will be powered down in light sleep. On esp32c3 soc, enabling this option will consume 1.68 KB of internal RAM and will reduce sleep current consumption by about 100 uA. On esp32s3 soc, enabling this option will consume 8.58 KB of internal RAM and will reduce sleep current consumption by about 650 uA.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled) if SOC_PM_SUPPORT_CPU_PD

CONFIG_PM_POWER_DOWN_PERIPHERAL_IN_LIGHT_SLEEP

Power down Digital Peripheral in light sleep (EXPERIMENTAL)

Found in: Component config > Power Management

If enabled, digital peripherals will be powered down in light sleep, it will reduce sleep current consumption by about 100 uA. Chip will save/restore register context at sleep/wake time to keep the system running. Enabling this option will increase static RAM and heap usage, the actual cost depends on the peripherals you have initialized. In order to save/restore the context of the necessary hardware for FreeRTOS to run, it will need at least 4.55 KB free heap at sleep time. Otherwise sleep will not power down the peripherals.

Note1: Please use this option with caution, the current IDF does not support the retention of all peripherals. When the digital peripherals are powered off and a sleep and wake-up is completed, the peripherals that have not saved the running context are equivalent to performing a reset. !!! Please confirm the peripherals used in your application and their sleep retention support status before enabling this option, peripherals sleep retention driver support status is tracked in power_management.rst

Note2: When this option is enabled simultaneously with FREERTOS_USE_TICKLESS_IDLE, since the UART will be powered down, the uart FIFO will be flushed before sleep to avoid data loss, however, this has the potential to block the sleep process and cause the wakeup time to be skipped, which will cause the tick of freertos to not be compensated correctly when returning from sleep and cause the system to crash. To avoid this, you can increase FREERTOS_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP threshold in menuconfig.

Default value:

  • No (disabled) if SOC_PAU_SUPPORTED

ESP PSRAM

Contains:

CONFIG_SPIRAM

Support for external, SPI-connected RAM

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM

This enables support for an external SPI RAM chip, connected in parallel with the main SPI flash chip.

  • ESP-PSRAM32 (CONFIG_SPIRAM_TYPE_ESPPSRAM32)

  • ESP-PSRAM64 or LY68L6400 (CONFIG_SPIRAM_TYPE_ESPPSRAM64)

CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPEED

Set RAM clock speed

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Select the speed for the SPI RAM chip. If SPI RAM is enabled, we only support three combinations of SPI speed mode we supported now:

  1. Flash SPI running at 40Mhz and RAM SPI running at 40Mhz

  2. Flash SPI running at 80Mhz and RAM SPI running at 40Mhz

  3. Flash SPI running at 80Mhz and RAM SPI running at 80Mhz

Note: If the third mode(80Mhz+80Mhz) is enabled for SPI RAM of type 32MBit, one of the HSPI/VSPI host will be occupied by the system. Which SPI host to use can be selected by the config item SPIRAM_OCCUPY_SPI_HOST. Application code should never touch HSPI/VSPI hardware in this case. The option to select 80MHz will only be visible if the flash SPI speed is also 80MHz. (ESPTOOLPY_FLASHFREQ_80M is true)

Available options:

  • 40MHz clock speed (CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPEED_40M)

  • 80MHz clock speed (CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPEED_80M)

CONFIG_SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT

Initialize SPI RAM during startup

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

If this is enabled, the SPI RAM will be enabled during initial boot. Unless you have specific requirements, you’ll want to leave this enabled so memory allocated during boot-up can also be placed in SPI RAM.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_IGNORE_NOTFOUND

Ignore PSRAM when not found

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config > CONFIG_SPIRAM_BOOT_INIT

Normally, if psram initialization is enabled during compile time but not found at runtime, it is seen as an error making the CPU panic. If this is enabled, booting will complete but no PSRAM will be available.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE

SPI RAM access method

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

The SPI RAM can be accessed in multiple methods: by just having it available as an unmanaged memory region in the CPU’s memory map, by integrating it in the heap as ‘special’ memory needing heap_caps_malloc to allocate, or by fully integrating it making malloc() also able to return SPI RAM pointers.

Available options:

  • Integrate RAM into memory map (CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MEMMAP)

  • Make RAM allocatable using heap_caps_malloc(…, MALLOC_CAP_SPIRAM) (CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC)

  • Make RAM allocatable using malloc() as well (CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MALLOC)

CONFIG_SPIRAM_MEMTEST

Run memory test on SPI RAM initialization

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Runs a rudimentary memory test on initialization. Aborts when memory test fails. Disable this for slightly faster startup.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_MALLOC_ALWAYSINTERNAL

Maximum malloc() size, in bytes, to always put in internal memory

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

If malloc() is capable of also allocating SPI-connected ram, its allocation strategy will prefer to allocate chunks less than this size in internal memory, while allocations larger than this will be done from external RAM. If allocation from the preferred region fails, an attempt is made to allocate from the non-preferred region instead, so malloc() will not suddenly fail when either internal or external memory is full.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_TRY_ALLOCATE_WIFI_LWIP

Try to allocate memories of WiFi and LWIP in SPIRAM firstly. If failed, allocate internal memory

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Try to allocate memories of WiFi and LWIP in SPIRAM firstly. If failed, try to allocate internal memory then.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_MALLOC_RESERVE_INTERNAL

Reserve this amount of bytes for data that specifically needs to be in DMA or internal memory

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Because the external/internal RAM allocation strategy is not always perfect, it sometimes may happen that the internal memory is entirely filled up. This causes allocations that are specifically done in internal memory, for example the stack for new tasks or memory to service DMA or have memory that’s also available when SPI cache is down, to fail. This option reserves a pool specifically for requests like that; the memory in this pool is not given out when a normal malloc() is called.

Set this to 0 to disable this feature.

Note that because FreeRTOS stacks are forced to internal memory, they will also use this memory pool; be sure to keep this in mind when adjusting this value.

Note also that the DMA reserved pool may not be one single contiguous memory region, depending on the configured size and the static memory usage of the app.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_ALLOW_BSS_SEG_EXTERNAL_MEMORY

Allow .bss segment placed in external memory

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

If enabled, variables with EXT_RAM_BSS_ATTR attribute will be placed in SPIRAM instead of internal DRAM. BSS section of lwip, net80211, pp, bt libraries will be automatically placed in SPIRAM. BSS sections from other object files and libraries can also be placed in SPIRAM through linker fragment scheme extram_bss.

Note that the variables placed in SPIRAM using EXT_RAM_BSS_ATTR will be zero initialized.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_ALLOW_NOINIT_SEG_EXTERNAL_MEMORY

Allow .noinit segment placed in external memory

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

If enabled, noinit variables can be placed in PSRAM using EXT_RAM_NOINIT_ATTR.

Note the values placed into this section will not be initialized at startup and should keep its value after software restart.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND

Enable workaround for bug in SPI RAM cache for Rev1 ESP32s

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Revision 1 of the ESP32 has a bug that can cause a write to PSRAM not to take place in some situations when the cache line needs to be fetched from external RAM and an interrupt occurs. This enables a fix in the compiler (-mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue) that makes sure the specific code that is vulnerable to this will not be emitted.

This will also not use any bits of newlib that are located in ROM, opting for a version that is compiled with the workaround and located in flash instead.

The workaround is not required for ESP32 revision 3 and above.

Default value:
SPIRAM cache workaround debugging

Contains:

CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND_STRATEGY

Workaround strategy

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config > SPIRAM cache workaround debugging

Select the workaround strategy. Note that the strategy for precompiled libraries (libgcc, newlib, bt, wifi) is not affected by this selection.

Unless you know you need a different strategy, it’s suggested you stay with the default MEMW strategy. Note that DUPLDST can interfere with hardware encryption and this will be automatically disabled if this workaround is selected. ‘Insert nops’ is the workaround that was used in older esp-idf versions. This workaround still can cause faulty data transfers from/to SPI RAM in some situation.

Available options:

  • Insert memw after vulnerable instructions (default) (CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND_STRATEGY_MEMW)

  • Duplicate LD/ST for 32-bit, memw for 8/16 bit (CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND_STRATEGY_DUPLDST)

  • Insert nops between vulnerable loads/stores (old strategy, obsolete) (CONFIG_SPIRAM_CACHE_WORKAROUND_STRATEGY_NOPS)

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_BANKSWITCH_ENABLE

Enable bank switching for >4MiB external RAM

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

The ESP32 only supports 4MiB of external RAM in its address space. The hardware does support larger memories, but these have to be bank-switched in and out of this address space. Enabling this allows you to reserve some MMU pages for this, which allows the use of the esp_himem api to manage these banks.

#Note that this is limited to 62 banks, as esp_psram_extram_writeback_cache needs some kind of mapping of #some banks below that mark to work. We cannot at this moment guarantee this to exist when himem is #enabled.

If spiram 2T mode is enabled, the size of 64Mbit psram will be changed as 32Mbit, so himem will be unusable.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_BANKSWITCH_RESERVE

Amount of 32K pages to reserve for bank switching

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config > CONFIG_SPIRAM_BANKSWITCH_ENABLE

Select the amount of banks reserved for bank switching. Note that the amount of RAM allocatable with malloc/esp_heap_alloc_caps will decrease by 32K for each page reserved here.

Note that this reservation is only actually done if your program actually uses the himem API. Without any himem calls, the reservation is not done and the original amount of memory will be available to malloc/esp_heap_alloc_caps.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_ALLOW_STACK_EXTERNAL_MEMORY

Allow external memory as an argument to xTaskCreateStatic

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Because some bits of the ESP32 code environment cannot be recompiled with the cache workaround, normally tasks cannot be safely run with their stack residing in external memory; for this reason xTaskCreate (and related task creaton functions) always allocate stack in internal memory and xTaskCreateStatic will check if the memory passed to it is in internal memory. If you have a task that needs a large amount of stack and does not call on ROM code in any way (no direct calls, but also no Bluetooth/WiFi), you can try enable this to cause xTaskCreateStatic to allow tasks stack in external memory.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_OCCUPY_SPI_HOST

SPI host to use for 32MBit PSRAM

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

Available options:

  • HSPI host (SPI2) (CONFIG_SPIRAM_OCCUPY_HSPI_HOST)

  • VSPI host (SPI3) (CONFIG_SPIRAM_OCCUPY_VSPI_HOST)

  • Will not try to use any host, will abort if not able to use the PSRAM (CONFIG_SPIRAM_OCCUPY_NO_HOST)

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config > PSRAM clock and cs IO for ESP32-PICO-D4

The PSRAM CS IO can be any unused GPIO, user can config it based on hardware design.

For ESP32-PICO chip, the psram share clock with flash, so user do not need to configure the clock IO. For the reference hardware design, please refer to https://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp32-pico-d4_datasheet_en.pdf

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_CUSTOM_SPIWP_SD3_PIN

Use custom SPI PSRAM WP(SD3) Pin when flash pins set in eFuse (read help)

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

This setting is only used if the SPI flash pins have been overridden by setting the eFuses SPI_PAD_CONFIG_xxx, and the SPI flash mode is DIO or DOUT.

When this is the case, the eFuse config only defines 3 of the 4 Quad I/O data pins. The WP pin (aka ESP32 pin “SD_DATA_3” or SPI flash pin “IO2”) is not specified in eFuse. The psram only has QPI mode, so a WP pin setting is necessary.

If this config item is set to N (default), the correct WP pin will be automatically used for any Espressif chip or module with integrated flash. If a custom setting is needed, set this config item to Y and specify the GPIO number connected to the WP pin.

When flash mode is set to QIO or QOUT, the PSRAM WP pin will be set the same as the SPI Flash WP pin configured in the bootloader.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPIRAM_SPIWP_SD3_PIN

Custom SPI PSRAM WP(SD3) Pin

Found in: Component config > ESP PSRAM > CONFIG_SPIRAM > SPI RAM config

The option “Use custom SPI PSRAM WP(SD3) pin” must be set or this value is ignored

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Memory

This option allows to place .rtc_data and .rtc_rodata sections into RTC fast memory segment to free the slow memory region for ULP programs. This option depends on the CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE option because RTC fast memory can be accessed only by PRO_CPU core.

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP32_USE_FIXED_STATIC_RAM_SIZE

Use fixed static RAM size

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Memory

If this option is disabled, the DRAM part of the heap starts right after the .bss section, within the dram0_0 region. As a result, adding or removing some static variables will change the available heap size.

If this option is enabled, the DRAM part of the heap starts right after the dram0_0 region, where its length is set with ESP32_FIXED_STATIC_RAM_SIZE

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_ESP32_FIXED_STATIC_RAM_SIZE

Enable IRAM as 8 bit accessible memory

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Memory

If enabled, application can use IRAM as byte accessible region for storing data (Note: IRAM region cannot be used as task stack)

This is possible due to handling of exceptions LoadStoreError (3) and LoadStoreAlignmentError (9) Each unaligned read/write access will incur a penalty of maximum of 167 CPU cycles.

Non-backward compatible options

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_ESP32_SRAM1_REGION_AS_IRAM

Reserve parts of SRAM1 for app IRAM (WARNING, read help before enabling)

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Memory > Non-backward compatible options

Reserve parts of SRAM1 for app IRAM which was previously reserved for bootloader DRAM. If booting an app on an older bootloader from before this option was introduced, the app will fail to boot due to not recognizing the new IRAM memory area.

If this is the case please test carefully before pushing out any OTA updates.

Trace memory

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP32_TRAX

Use TRAX tracing feature

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Trace memory

The ESP32 contains a feature which allows you to trace the execution path the processor has taken through the program. This is stored in a chunk of 32K (16K for single-processor) of memory that can’t be used for general purposes anymore. Disable this if you do not know what this is.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

If FreeRTOS detects unexpected behaviour or an unhandled exception, the panic handler is invoked. Configure the panic handler’s action here.

Available options:

  • Print registers and halt (CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_PRINT_HALT)

    Outputs the relevant registers over the serial port and halt the processor. Needs a manual reset to restart.

  • Print registers and reboot (CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_PRINT_REBOOT)

    Outputs the relevant registers over the serial port and immediately reset the processor.

  • Silent reboot (CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_SILENT_REBOOT)

    Just resets the processor without outputting anything

  • GDBStub on panic (CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_GDBSTUB)

    Invoke gdbstub on the serial port, allowing for gdb to attach to it to do a postmortem of the crash.

  • GDBStub at runtime (CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_GDBSTUB_RUNTIME)

    Invoke gdbstub on the serial port, allowing for gdb to attach to it and to do a debug on runtime.

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PANIC_REBOOT_DELAY_SECONDS

Panic reboot delay (Seconds)

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

After the panic handler executes, you can specify a number of seconds to wait before the device reboots.

  • from 0 to 99

Default value:

  • 0

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_RTC_EXT_XTAL_BOOTSTRAP_CYCLES

Bootstrap cycles for external 32kHz crystal

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

To reduce the startup time of an external RTC crystal, we bootstrap it with a 32kHz square wave for a fixed number of cycles. Setting 0 will disable bootstrapping (if disabled, the crystal may take longer to start up or fail to oscillate under some conditions).

If this value is too high, a faulty crystal may initially start and then fail. If this value is too low, an otherwise good crystal may not start.

To accurately determine if the crystal has started, set a larger “Number of cycles for RTC_SLOW_CLK calibration” (about 3000).

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_ALLOW_RTC_FAST_MEM_AS_HEAP

Enable RTC fast memory for dynamic allocations

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

This config option allows to add RTC fast memory region to system heap with capability similar to that of DRAM region but without DMA. This memory will be consumed first per heap initialization order by early startup services and scheduler related code. Speed wise RTC fast memory operates on APB clock and hence does not have much performance impact.

Memory protection

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_PMP_IDRAM_SPLIT

Enable IRAM/DRAM split protection

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > Memory protection

If enabled, the CPU watches all the memory access and raises an exception in case of any memory violation. This feature automatically splits the SRAM memory, using PMP, into data and instruction segments and sets Read/Execute permissions for the instruction part (below given splitting address) and Read/Write permissions for the data part (above the splitting address). The memory protection is effective on all access through the IRAM0 and DRAM0 buses.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled) if SOC_CPU_IDRAM_SPLIT_USING_PMP

CONFIG_ESP_SYSTEM_MEMPROT_FEATURE

CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART

Channel for console output

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

Select where to send console output (through stdout and stderr).

  • Default is to use UART0 on pre-defined GPIOs.

  • If “Custom” is selected, UART0 or UART1 can be chosen, and any pins can be selected.

  • If “None” is selected, there will be no console output on any UART, except for initial output from ROM bootloader. This ROM output can be suppressed by GPIO strapping or EFUSE, refer to chip datasheet for details.

  • On chips with USB OTG peripheral, “USB CDC” option redirects output to the CDC port. This option uses the CDC driver in the chip ROM. This option is incompatible with TinyUSB stack.

  • On chips with an USB serial/JTAG debug controller, selecting the option for that redirects output to the CDC/ACM (serial port emulation) component of that device.

Available options:

  • Default: UART0 (CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_DEFAULT)

  • USB CDC (CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_USB_CDC)

If the configuration is different in the Bootloader binary compared to the app binary, UART is reconfigured after the bootloader exits and the app starts.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_CONSOLE_UART_BAUDRATE

UART console baud rate

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

This baud rate is used by both the ESP-IDF Bootloader and the app (including boot log output and default standard input/output/error of the app).

The app’s maximum baud rate depends on the UART clock source. If Power Management is disabled, the UART clock source is the APB clock and all baud rates in the available range will be sufficiently accurate. If Power Management is enabled, REF_TICK clock source is used so the baud rate is divided from 1MHz. Baud rates above 1Mbps are not possible and values between 500Kbps and 1Mbps may not be accurate.

If the configuration is different in the Bootloader binary compared to the app binary, UART is reconfigured after the bootloader exits and the app starts.

Range:
Default value:

  • 115200

CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT

Interrupt watchdog

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

This watchdog timer can detect if the FreeRTOS tick interrupt has not been called for a certain time, either because a task turned off interrupts and did not turn them on for a long time, or because an interrupt handler did not return. It will try to invoke the panic handler first and failing that reset the SoC.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT_TIMEOUT_MS

Interrupt watchdog timeout (ms)

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > CONFIG_ESP_INT_WDT

The timeout of the watchdog, in miliseconds. Make this higher than the FreeRTOS tick rate.

Watch CPU0 Idle Task

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_EN > CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_INIT

If this option is enabled, the Task Watchdog Timer will watch the CPU0 Idle Task. Having the Task Watchdog watch the Idle Task allows for detection of CPU starvation as the Idle Task not being called is usually a symptom of CPU starvation. Starvation of the Idle Task is detrimental as FreeRTOS household tasks depend on the Idle Task getting some runtime every now and then.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_CHECK_IDLE_TASK_CPU1

Watch CPU1 Idle Task

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings > CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_EN > CONFIG_ESP_TASK_WDT_INIT

If this option is enabled, the Task Watchdog Timer will wach the CPU1 Idle Task.

Default value:
CONFIG_ESP_PANIC_HANDLER_IRAM

Place panic handler code in IRAM

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

If this option is disabled (default), the panic handler code is placed in flash not IRAM. This means that if ESP-IDF crashes while flash cache is disabled, the panic handler will automatically re-enable flash cache before running GDB Stub or Core Dump. This adds some minor risk, if the flash cache status is also corrupted during the crash.

If this option is enabled, the panic handler code (including required UART functions) is placed in IRAM. This may be necessary to debug some complex issues with crashes while flash cache is disabled (for example, when writing to SPI flash) or when flash cache is corrupted when an exception is triggered.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_ESP_DEBUG_STUBS_ENABLE

OpenOCD debug stubs

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

Debug stubs are used by OpenOCD to execute pre-compiled onboard code which does some useful debugging stuff, e.g. GCOV data dump.

  • 2.80V +/- 0.05 (CONFIG_ESP_BROWNOUT_DET_LVL_SEL_7)

CONFIG_ESP32_DISABLE_BASIC_ROM_CONSOLE

Permanently disable BASIC ROM Console

Found in: Component config > ESP System Settings

If set, the first time the app boots it will disable the BASIC ROM Console permanently (by burning an eFuse).

Otherwise, the BASIC ROM Console starts on reset if no valid bootloader is read from the flash.

(Enabling secure boot also disables the BASIC ROM Console by default.)

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

IPC (Inter-Processor Call)

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP_IPC_TASK_STACK_SIZE

Inter-Processor Call (IPC) task stack size

Found in: Component config > IPC (Inter-Processor Call)

Configure the IPC tasks stack size. An IPC task runs on each core (in dual core mode), and allows for cross-core function calls. See IPC documentation for more details. The default IPC stack size should be enough for most common simple use cases. However, users can increase/decrease the stack size to their needs.

Range:

  • from 512 to 65536

Default value:

  • 1024

CONFIG_ESP_IPC_USES_CALLERS_PRIORITY

IPC runs at caller’s priority

Found in: Component config > IPC (Inter-Processor Call)

If this option is not enabled then the IPC task will keep behavior same as prior to that of ESP-IDF v4.0, hence IPC task will run at (configMAX_PRIORITIES - 1) priority.

Default value:

High resolution timer (esp_timer)

Contains:

CONFIG_ESP_TIMER_PROFILING

Enable esp_timer profiling features

Found in: Component config > High resolution timer (esp_timer)

If enabled, esp_timer_dump will dump information such as number of times the timer was started, number of times the timer has triggered, and the total time it took for the callback to run. This option has some effect on timer performance and the amount of memory used for timer storage, and should only be used for debugging/testing purposes.

CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_SOFTAP_BEACON_MAX_LEN

Max length of WiFi SoftAP Beacon

Found in: Component config > Wi-Fi

ESP-MESH utilizes beacon frames to detect and resolve root node conflicts (see documentation). However the default length of a beacon frame can simultaneously hold only five root node identifier structures, meaning that a root node conflict of up to five nodes can be detected at one time. In the occurence of more root nodes conflict involving more than five root nodes, the conflict resolution process will detect five of the root nodes, resolve the conflict, and re-detect more root nodes. This process will repeat until all root node conflicts are resolved. However this process can generally take a very long time.

To counter this situation, the beacon frame length can be increased such that more root nodes can be detected simultaneously. Each additional root node will require 36 bytes and should be added ontop of the default beacon frame length of 752 bytes. For example, if you want to detect 10 root nodes simultaneously, you need to set the beacon frame length as 932 (752+36*5).

Setting a longer beacon length also assists with debugging as the conflicting root nodes can be identified more quickly.

Range:

Max long filename length

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

Maximum long filename length. Can be reduced to save RAM.

Range:

  • from 12 to 255

Default value:

  • 255

CONFIG_FATFS_API_ENCODING

API character encoding

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

Choose encoding for character and string arguments/returns when using FATFS APIs. The encoding of arguments will usually depend on text editor settings.

Available options:

  • API uses ANSI/OEM encoding (CONFIG_FATFS_API_ENCODING_ANSI_OEM)

  • API uses UTF-8 encoding (CONFIG_FATFS_API_ENCODING_UTF_8)

CONFIG_FATFS_FS_LOCK

Number of simultaneously open files protected by lock function

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

This option sets the FATFS configuration value _FS_LOCK. The option _FS_LOCK switches file lock function to control duplicated file open and illegal operation to open objects.

* 0: Disable file lock function. To avoid volume corruption, application should avoid illegal open, remove and rename to the open objects.

* >0: Enable file lock function. The value defines how many files/sub-directories can be opened simultaneously under file lock control.

Note that the file lock control is independent of re-entrancy.

Range:

  • from 0 to 65535

Default value:

  • 0

CONFIG_FATFS_TIMEOUT_MS

Timeout for acquiring a file lock, ms

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

This option sets FATFS configuration value _FS_TIMEOUT, scaled to milliseconds. Sets the number of milliseconds FATFS will wait to acquire a mutex when operating on an open file. For example, if one task is performing a lenghty operation, another task will wait for the first task to release the lock, and time out after amount of time set by this option.

Default value:

  • 10000

CONFIG_FATFS_PER_FILE_CACHE

Use separate cache for each file

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

This option affects FATFS configuration value _FS_TINY.

If this option is set, _FS_TINY is 0, and each open file has its own cache, size of the cache is equal to the _MAX_SS variable (512 or 4096 bytes). This option uses more RAM if more than 1 file is open, but needs less reads and writes to the storage for some operations.

If this option is not set, _FS_TINY is 1, and single cache is used for all open files, size is also equal to _MAX_SS variable. This reduces the amount of heap used when multiple files are open, but increases the number of read and write operations which FATFS needs to make.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_FATFS_ALLOC_PREFER_EXTRAM

Perfer external RAM when allocating FATFS buffers

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

When the option is enabled, internal buffers used by FATFS will be allocated from external RAM. If the allocation from external RAM fails, the buffer will be allocated from the internal RAM. Disable this option if optimizing for performance. Enable this option if optimizing for internal memory size.

Default value:
CONFIG_FATFS_USE_FASTSEEK

Enable fast seek algorithm when using lseek function through VFS FAT

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

The fast seek feature enables fast backward/long seek operations without FAT access by using an in-memory CLMT (cluster link map table). Please note, fast-seek is only allowed for read-mode files, if a file is opened in write-mode, the seek mechanism will automatically fallback to the default implementation.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FATFS_FAST_SEEK_BUFFER_SIZE

Fast seek CLMT buffer size

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support > CONFIG_FATFS_USE_FASTSEEK

If fast seek algorithm is enabled, this defines the size of CLMT buffer used by this algorithm in 32-bit word units. This value should be chosen based on prior knowledge of maximum elements of each file entry would store.

Default value:
CONFIG_FATFS_VFS_FSTAT_BLKSIZE

Default block size

Found in: Component config > FAT Filesystem support

If set to 0, the ‘newlib’ library’s default size (BLKSIZ) is used (128 B). If set to a non-zero value, the value is used as the block size. Default file buffer size is set to this value and the buffer is allocated when first attempt of reading/writing to a file is made. Increasing this value improves fread() speed, however the heap usage is increased as well.

NOTE: The block size value is shared by all the filesystem functions accessing target media for given file descriptor! See ‘Improving I/O performance’ section of ‘Maximizing Execution Speed’ documentation page for more details.

Default value:

  • 0

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Amazon has released an SMP version of the FreeRTOS Kernel which can be found via the following link: https://github.com/FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-Kernel/tree/smp

IDF has added an experimental port of this SMP kernel located in components/freertos/FreeRTOS-Kernel-SMP. Enabling this option will cause IDF to use the Amazon SMP kernel. Note that THIS FEATURE IS UNDER ACTIVE DEVELOPMENT, users use this at their own risk.

Leaving this option disabled will mean the IDF FreeRTOS kernel is used instead, which is located in: components/freertos/FreeRTOS-Kernel. Both kernel versions are SMP capable, but differ in their implementation and features.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_UNICORE

Run FreeRTOS only on first core

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Enables FreeRTOS to check for stack overflows (see configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW documentation for more details).

Note: If users do not provide their own vApplicationStackOverflowHook() function, a default function will be provided by ESP-IDF.

Available options:

  • No checking (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_STACKOVERFLOW_NONE)

    Do not check for stack overflows (configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW = 0)

  • Check by stack pointer value (Method 1) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_STACKOVERFLOW_PTRVAL)

    Check for stack overflows on each context switch by checking if the stack pointer is in a valid range. Quick but does not detect stack overflows that happened between context switches (configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW = 1)

  • Check using canary bytes (Method 2) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_STACKOVERFLOW_CANARY)

    Places some magic bytes at the end of the stack area and on each context switch, check if these bytes are still intact. More thorough than just checking the pointer, but also slightly slower. (configCHECK_FOR_STACK_OVERFLOW = 2)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS

configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Set the number of thread local storage pointers in each task (see configNUM_THREAD_LOCAL_STORAGE_POINTERS documentation for more details).

Note: In ESP-IDF, this value must be at least 1. Index 0 is reserved for use by the pthreads API thread-local-storage. Other indexes can be used for any desired purpose.

Default value:

  • 1

CONFIG_FREERTOS_IDLE_TASK_STACKSIZE

configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE (Idle task stack size)

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Sets the idle task stack size in bytes (see configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE documentation for more details).

Note:

  • ESP-IDF specifies stack sizes in bytes instead of words.

  • The default size is enough for most use cases.

  • The stack size may need to be increased above the default if the app installs idle or thread local storage cleanup hooks that use a lot of stack memory.

  • Conversely, the stack size can be reduced to the minimum if non of the idle features are used.

Range:

  • from 768 to 32768

Default value:

  • 1536

CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_IDLE_HOOK

configUSE_IDLE_HOOK

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Enables the idle task application hook (see configUSE_IDLE_HOOK documentation for more details).

Note:

  • The application must provide the hook function void vApplicationIdleHook( void );

  • vApplicationIdleHook() is called from FreeRTOS idle task(s)

  • The FreeRTOS idle hook is NOT the same as the ESP-IDF Idle Hook, but both can be enabled simultaneously.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_MINIMAL_IDLE_HOOK

Use FreeRTOS minimal idle hook

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Enables the minimal idle task application hook (see configUSE_IDLE_HOOK documentation for more details).

Note:

Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TICK_HOOK

configUSE_TICK_HOOK

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Enables the tick hook (see configUSE_TICK_HOOK documentation for more details).

Note:

  • The application must provide the hook function void vApplicationTickHook( void );

  • vApplicationTickHook() is called from FreeRTOS’s tick handling function xTaskIncrementTick()

  • The FreeRTOS tick hook is NOT the same as the ESP-IDF Tick Interrupt Hook, but both can be enabled simultaneously.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_MAX_TASK_NAME_LEN

configMAX_TASK_NAME_LEN

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Default value:

  • 0

CONFIG_FREERTOS_TASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES

configTASK_NOTIFICATION_ARRAY_ENTRIES

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Set the size of the task notification array of each task. When increasing this value, keep in mind that this means additional memory for each and every task on the system. However, task notifications in general are more light weight compared to alternatives such as semaphores.

Enable display of xCoreID in vTaskList

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel > CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TRACE_FACILITY > CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_STATS_FORMATTING_FUNCTIONS

If enabled, this will include an extra column when vTaskList is called to display the CoreID the task is pinned to (0,1) or -1 if not pinned.

Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_GENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS

configGENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

Enables collection of run time statistics for each task (see configGENERATE_RUN_TIME_STATS documentation for more details).

Note: The clock used for run time statistics can be configured in FREERTOS_RUN_TIME_STATS_CLK.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TICKLESS_IDLE

configUSE_TICKLESS_IDLE

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel

If power management support is enabled, FreeRTOS will be able to put the system into light sleep mode when no tasks need to run for a number of ticks. This number can be set using FREERTOS_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP option. This feature is also known as “automatic light sleep”.

Note that timers created using esp_timer APIs may prevent the system from entering sleep mode, even when no tasks need to run. To skip unnecessary wake-up initialize a timer with the “skip_unhandled_events” option as true.

If disabled, automatic light sleep support will be disabled.

Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP

configEXPECTED_IDLE_TIME_BEFORE_SLEEP

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Kernel > CONFIG_FREERTOS_USE_TICKLESS_IDLE

FreeRTOS will enter light sleep mode if no tasks need to run for this number of ticks. You can enable PM_PROFILING feature in esp_pm components and dump the sleep status with esp_pm_dump_locks, if the proportion of rejected sleeps is too high, please increase this value to improve scheduling efficiency

Range:
Default value:
Port

Contains:

CONFIG_FREERTOS_TASK_FUNCTION_WRAPPER

Wrap task functions

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

If enabled, all FreeRTOS task functions will be enclosed in a wrapper function. If a task function mistakenly returns (i.e. does not delete), the call flow will return to the wrapper function. The wrapper function will then log an error and abort the application. This option is also required for GDB backtraces and C++ exceptions to work correctly inside top-level task functions.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_WATCHPOINT_END_OF_STACK

Enable stack overflow debug watchpoint

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

FreeRTOS can check if a stack has overflown its bounds by checking either the value of the stack pointer or by checking the integrity of canary bytes. (See FREERTOS_CHECK_STACKOVERFLOW for more information.) These checks only happen on a context switch, and the situation that caused the stack overflow may already be long gone by then. This option will use the last debug memory watchpoint to allow breaking into the debugger (or panic’ing) as soon as any of the last 32 bytes on the stack of a task are overwritten. The side effect is that using gdb, you effectively have one hardware watchpoint less because the last one is overwritten as soon as a task switch happens.

Another consequence is that due to alignment requirements of the watchpoint, the usable stack size decreases by up to 60 bytes. This is because the watchpoint region has to be aligned to its size and the size for the stack watchpoint in IDF is 32 bytes.

This check only triggers if the stack overflow writes within 32 bytes near the end of the stack, rather than overshooting further, so it is worth combining this approach with one of the other stack overflow check methods.

When this watchpoint is hit, gdb will stop with a SIGTRAP message. When no JTAG OCD is attached, esp-idf will panic on an unhandled debug exception.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_TLSP_DELETION_CALLBACKS

Enable thread local storage pointers deletion callbacks

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

ESP-IDF provides users with the ability to free TLSP memory by registering TLSP deletion callbacks. These callbacks are automatically called by FreeRTOS when a task is deleted. When this option is turned on, the memory reserved for TLSPs in the TCB is doubled to make space for storing the deletion callbacks. If the user does not wish to use TLSP deletion callbacks then this option could be turned off to save space in the TCB memory.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_ENABLE_STATIC_TASK_CLEAN_UP

Enable static task clean up hook

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

Enable this option to make FreeRTOS call the static task clean up hook when a task is deleted.

Note: Users will need to provide a void vPortCleanUpTCB ( void \*pxTCB ) callback

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_MUTEX_GIVEN_BY_OWNER

Check that mutex semaphore is given by owner task

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

If enabled, assert that when a mutex semaphore is given, the task giving the semaphore is the task which is currently holding the mutex.

Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_ISR_STACKSIZE

ISR stack size

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

The interrupt handlers have their own stack. The size of the stack can be defined here. Each processor has its own stack, so the total size occupied will be twice this.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_INTERRUPT_BACKTRACE

Enable backtrace from interrupt to task context

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

If this option is enabled, interrupt stack frame will be modified to point to the code of the interrupted task as its return address. This helps the debugger (or the panic handler) show a backtrace from the interrupt to the task which was interrupted. This also works for nested interrupts: higher level interrupt stack can be traced back to the lower level interrupt. This option adds 4 instructions to the interrupt dispatching code.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_FPU_IN_ISR

Use float in Level 1 ISR

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

When enabled, the usage of float type is allowed inside Level 1 ISRs. Note that usage of float types in higher level interrupts is still not permitted.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_CORETIMER

Tick timer source (Xtensa Only)

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

FreeRTOS needs a timer with an associated interrupt to use as the main tick source to increase counters, run timers and do pre-emptive multitasking with. There are multiple timers available to do this, with different interrupt priorities.

Available options:

  • Timer 0 (int 6, level 1) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CORETIMER_0)

    Select this to use timer 0

  • Timer 1 (int 15, level 3) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CORETIMER_1)

    Select this to use timer 1

  • SYSTIMER 0 (level 1) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CORETIMER_SYSTIMER_LVL1)

    Select this to use systimer with the 1 interrupt priority.

  • SYSTIMER 0 (level 3) (CONFIG_FREERTOS_CORETIMER_SYSTIMER_LVL3)

    Select this to use systimer with the 3 interrupt priority.

CONFIG_FREERTOS_RUN_TIME_STATS_CLK

Choose the clock source for run time stats

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

Choose the clock source for FreeRTOS run time stats. Options are CPU0’s CPU Clock or the ESP Timer. Both clock sources are 32 bits. The CPU Clock can run at a higher frequency hence provide a finer resolution but will overflow much quicker. Note that run time stats are only valid until the clock source overflows.

Available options:

  • Use ESP TIMER for run time stats (CONFIG_FREERTOS_RUN_TIME_STATS_USING_ESP_TIMER)

    ESP Timer will be used as the clock source for FreeRTOS run time stats. The ESP Timer runs at a frequency of 1MHz regardless of Dynamic Frequency Scaling. Therefore the ESP Timer will overflow in approximately 4290 seconds.

  • Use CPU Clock for run time stats (CONFIG_FREERTOS_RUN_TIME_STATS_USING_CPU_CLK)

    CPU Clock will be used as the clock source for the generation of run time stats. The CPU Clock has a frequency dependent on ESP_DEFAULT_CPU_FREQ_MHZ and Dynamic Frequency Scaling (DFS). Therefore the CPU Clock frequency can fluctuate between 80 to 240MHz. Run time stats generated using the CPU Clock represents the number of CPU cycles each task is allocated and DOES NOT reflect the amount of time each task runs for (as CPU clock frequency can change). If the CPU clock consistently runs at the maximum frequency of 240MHz, it will overflow in approximately 17 seconds.

CONFIG_FREERTOS_PLACE_FUNCTIONS_INTO_FLASH

Place FreeRTOS functions into Flash

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

When enabled the selected Non-ISR FreeRTOS functions will be placed into Flash memory instead of IRAM. This saves up to 8KB of IRAM depending on which functions are used.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_PLACE_SNAPSHOT_FUNS_INTO_FLASH

Place task snapshot functions into flash

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

When enabled, the functions related to snapshots, such as vTaskGetSnapshot or uxTaskGetSnapshotAll, will be placed in flash. Note that if enabled, these functions cannot be called when cache is disabled.

Default value:
CONFIG_FREERTOS_CHECK_PORT_CRITICAL_COMPLIANCE

Tests compliance with Vanilla FreeRTOS port*_CRITICAL calls

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

If enabled, context of port*_CRITICAL calls (ISR or Non-ISR) would be checked to be in compliance with Vanilla FreeRTOS. e.g Calling port*_CRITICAL from ISR context would cause assert failure

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_FREERTOS_ENABLE_TASK_SNAPSHOT

Enable task snapshot functions

Found in: Component config > FreeRTOS > Port

When enabled, the functions related to snapshots, such as vTaskGetSnapshot or uxTaskGetSnapshotAll, are compiled and linked. Task snapshots are used by Task Watchdog (TWDT), GDB Stub and Core dump.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

Contains:

CONFIG_HAL_DEFAULT_ASSERTION_LEVEL

Default HAL assertion level

Found in: Component config > Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Low Level (LL)

Set the assert behavior / level for HAL component. HAL component assert level can be set separately, but the level can’t exceed the system assertion level. e.g. If the system assertion is disabled, then the HAL assertion can’t be enabled either. If the system assertion is enable, then the HAL assertion can still be disabled by this Kconfig option.

Available options:

  • Same as system assertion level (CONFIG_HAL_ASSERTION_EQUALS_SYSTEM)

CONFIG_HAL_SYSTIMER_USE_ROM_IMPL

Use ROM implementation of SysTimer HAL driver

Found in: Component config > Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Low Level (LL)

Enable this flag to use HAL functions from ROM instead of ESP-IDF.

If keeping this as “n” in your project, you will have less free IRAM. If making this as “y” in your project, you will increase free IRAM, but you will lose the possibility to debug this module, and some new features will be added and bugs will be fixed in the IDF source but cannot be synced to ROM.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled) if ESP_ROM_HAS_HAL_SYSTIMER

CONFIG_HAL_WDT_USE_ROM_IMPL

Use ROM implementation of WDT HAL driver

Found in: Component config > Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) and Low Level (LL)

Enable this flag to use HAL functions from ROM instead of ESP-IDF.

If keeping this as “n” in your project, you will have less free IRAM. If making this as “y” in your project, you will increase free IRAM, but you will lose the possibility to debug this module, and some new features will be added and bugs will be fixed in the IDF source but cannot be synced to ROM.

Heap memory debugging

Contains:

CONFIG_HEAP_CORRUPTION_DETECTION

Heap corruption detection

Found in: Component config > Heap memory debugging

Enable heap poisoning features to detect heap corruption caused by out-of-bounds access to heap memory.

See the “Heap Memory Debugging” page of the IDF documentation for a description of each level of heap corruption detection.

Available options:

  • Basic (no poisoning) (CONFIG_HEAP_POISONING_DISABLED)

  • Light impact (CONFIG_HEAP_POISONING_LIGHT)

  • Comprehensive (CONFIG_HEAP_POISONING_COMPREHENSIVE)

CONFIG_HEAP_TRACING_DEST

Heap tracing

Found in: Component config > Heap memory debugging

Enables the heap tracing API defined in esp_heap_trace.h.

This function causes a moderate increase in IRAM code side and a minor increase in heap function (malloc/free/realloc) CPU overhead, even when the tracing feature is not used. So it’s best to keep it disabled unless tracing is being used.

Available options:

  • Disabled (CONFIG_HEAP_TRACING_OFF)

  • Standalone (CONFIG_HEAP_TRACING_STANDALONE)

  • Host-based (CONFIG_HEAP_TRACING_TOHOST)

CONFIG_HEAP_TRACING_STACK_DEPTH

Heap tracing stack depth

Found in: Component config > Heap memory debugging

Number of stack frames to save when tracing heap operation callers.

More stack frames uses more memory in the heap trace buffer (and slows down allocation), but can provide useful information.

CONFIG_HEAP_USE_HOOKS

Use allocation and free hooks

Found in: Component config > Heap memory debugging

Enable the user to implement function hooks triggered for each successful allocation and free.

CONFIG_HEAP_TASK_TRACKING

Enable heap task tracking

Can be set lower to save RAM, the default value 1460(ipv4)/1440(ipv6) will give best throughput. IPv4 TCP_MSS Range: 576 <= TCP_MSS <= 1460 IPv6 TCP_MSS Range: 1220<= TCP_mSS <= 1440

Range:

  • from 536 to 1460

Default value:

  • 1440

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_TMR_INTERVAL

TCP timer interval(ms)

Set TCP timer interval in milliseconds.

Can be used to speed connections on bad networks. A lower value will redeliver unacked packets faster.

Default value:

  • 250

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_MSL

Maximum segment lifetime (MSL)

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Set maximum segment lifetime in milliseconds.

Default value:

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_SND_BUF_DEFAULT

Default send buffer size

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Set default send buffer size for new TCP sockets.

Per-socket send buffer size can be changed at runtime with lwip_setsockopt(s, TCP_SNDBUF, …).

This value must be at least 2x the MSS size, and the default is 4x the default MSS size.

Setting a smaller default SNDBUF size can save some RAM, but will decrease performance.

Range:
Default value:

  • 5744

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_WND_DEFAULT

Default receive window size

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Set default TCP receive window size for new TCP sockets.

Per-socket receive window size can be changed at runtime with lwip_setsockopt(s, TCP_WINDOW, …).

Range:
Default value:

  • 5744

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_RECVMBOX_SIZE

Default TCP receive mail box size

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Set TCP receive mail box size. Generally bigger value means higher throughput but more memory. The recommended value is: LWIP_TCP_WND_DEFAULT/TCP_MSS + 2, e.g. if LWIP_TCP_WND_DEFAULT=14360, TCP_MSS=1436, then the recommended receive mail box size is (14360/1436 + 2) = 12.

TCP receive mail box is a per socket mail box, when the application receives packets from TCP socket, LWIP core firstly posts the packets to TCP receive mail box and the application then fetches the packets from mail box. It means LWIP can caches maximum LWIP_TCP_RECCVMBOX_SIZE packets for each TCP socket, so the maximum possible cached TCP packets for all TCP sockets is LWIP_TCP_RECCVMBOX_SIZE multiples the maximum TCP socket number. In other words, the bigger LWIP_TCP_RECVMBOX_SIZE means more memory. On the other hand, if the receiv mail box is too small, the mail box may be full. If the mail box is full, the LWIP drops the packets. So generally we need to make sure the TCP receive mail box is big enough to avoid packet drop between LWIP core and application.

Range:
Default value:

  • 6

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_QUEUE_OOSEQ

Queue incoming out-of-order segments

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Queue incoming out-of-order segments for later use.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_SACK_OUT

Support sending selective acknowledgements

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP > CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_QUEUE_OOSEQ

TCP will support sending selective acknowledgements (SACKs).

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_OVERSIZE

Pre-allocate transmit PBUF size

Found in: Component config > LWIP > TCP

Allows enabling “oversize” allocation of TCP transmission pbufs ahead of time, which can reduce the length of pbuf chains used for transmission.

This will not make a difference to sockets where Nagle’s algorithm is disabled.

Default value of MSS is fine for most applications, 25% MSS may save some RAM when only transmitting small amounts of data. Disabled will have worst performance and fragmentation characteristics, but uses least RAM overall.

Available options:

  • MSS (CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_OVERSIZE_MSS)

  • 25% MSS (CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_OVERSIZE_QUARTER_MSS)

  • Disabled (CONFIG_LWIP_TCP_OVERSIZE_DISABLE)

Default value:

  • 16

CONFIG_LWIP_UDP_RECVMBOX_SIZE

Default UDP receive mail box size

Found in: Component config > LWIP > UDP

Set UDP receive mail box size. The recommended value is 6.

UDP receive mail box is a per socket mail box, when the application receives packets from UDP socket, LWIP core firstly posts the packets to UDP receive mail box and the application then fetches the packets from mail box. It means LWIP can caches maximum UDP_RECCVMBOX_SIZE packets for each UDP socket, so the maximum possible cached UDP packets for all UDP sockets is UDP_RECCVMBOX_SIZE multiples the maximum UDP socket number. In other words, the bigger UDP_RECVMBOX_SIZE means more memory. On the other hand, if the receiv mail box is too small, the mail box may be full. If the mail box is full, the LWIP drops the packets. So generally we need to make sure the UDP receive mail box is big enough to avoid packet drop between LWIP core and application.

CONFIG_LWIP_HOOK_TCP_ISN

TCP ISN Hook

Found in: Component config > LWIP > Hooks

Enables to define a TCP ISN hook to randomize initial sequence number in TCP connection. The default TCP ISN algorithm used in IDF (standardized in RFC 6528) produces ISN by combining an MD5 of the new TCP id and a stable secret with the current time. This is because the lwIP implementation (tcp_next_iss) is not very strong, as it does not take into consideration any platform specific entropy source.

mbedTLS

Contains:

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_MEM_ALLOC_MODE

Memory allocation strategy

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Allocation strategy for mbedTLS, essentially provides ability to allocate all required dynamic allocations from,

  • Internal DRAM memory only

  • External SPIRAM memory only

  • Either internal or external memory based on default malloc() behavior in ESP-IDF

  • Custom allocation mode, by overwriting calloc()/free() using mbedtls_platform_set_calloc_free() function

  • Internal IRAM memory wherever applicable else internal DRAM

Recommended mode here is always internal (*), since that is most preferred from security perspective. But if application requirement does not allow sufficient free internal memory then alternate mode can be selected.

(*) In case of ESP32-S2/ESP32-S3, hardware allows encryption of external SPIRAM contents provided hardware flash encryption feature is enabled. In that case, using external SPIRAM allocation strategy is also safe choice from security perspective.

Available options:

  • Internal memory (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_INTERNAL_MEM_ALLOC)

  • External SPIRAM (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_EXTERNAL_MEM_ALLOC)

  • Default alloc mode (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DEFAULT_MEM_ALLOC)

  • Custom alloc mode (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CUSTOM_MEM_ALLOC)

  • Internal IRAM (CONFIG_MBEDTLS_IRAM_8BIT_MEM_ALLOC)

    Allows to use IRAM memory region as 8bit accessible region.

    TLS input and output buffers will be allocated in IRAM section which is 32bit aligned memory. Every unaligned (8bit or 16bit) access will result in an exception and incur penalty of certain clock cycles per unaligned read/write.

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_SSL_MAX_CONTENT_LEN

TLS maximum message content length

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Maximum TLS message length (in bytes) supported by mbedTLS.

16384 is the default and this value is required to comply fully with TLS standards.

However you can set a lower value in order to save RAM. This is safe if the other end of the connection supports Maximum Fragment Length Negotiation Extension (max_fragment_length, see RFC6066) or you know for certain that it will never send a message longer than a certain number of bytes.

If the value is set too low, symptoms are a failed TLS handshake or a return value of MBEDTLS_ERR_SSL_INVALID_RECORD (-0x7200).

Range:

  • from 512 to 16384

Default value:

  • 16384

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_ASYMMETRIC_CONTENT_LEN

Asymmetric in/out fragment length

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

If enabled, this option allows customizing TLS in/out fragment length in asymmetric way. Please note that enabling this with default values saves 12KB of dynamic memory per TLS connection.

Default value:

  • 4096

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_BUFFER

Using dynamic TX/RX buffer

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Using dynamic TX/RX buffer. After enabling this option, mbedTLS will allocate TX buffer when need to send data and then free it if all data is sent, allocate RX buffer when need to receive data and then free it when all data is used or read by upper layer.

By default, when SSL is initialized, mbedTLS also allocate TX and RX buffer with the default value of “MBEDTLS_SSL_OUT_CONTENT_LEN” or “MBEDTLS_SSL_IN_CONTENT_LEN”, so to save more heap, users can set the options to be an appropriate value.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_FREE_CONFIG_DATA

Free private key and DHM data after its usage

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_BUFFER

Free private key and DHM data after its usage in handshake process.

The option will decrease heap cost when handshake, but also lead to problem:

Becasue all certificate, private key and DHM data are freed so users should register certificate and private key to ssl config object again.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_FREE_CA_CERT

Free SSL CA certificate after its usage

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_BUFFER > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DYNAMIC_FREE_CONFIG_DATA

Free CA certificate after its usage in the handshake process. This option will decrease the heap footprint for the TLS handshake, but may lead to a problem: If the respective ssl object needs to perform the TLS handshake again, the CA certificate should once again be registered to the ssl object.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_DEBUG

Enable mbedTLS debugging

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable mbedTLS debugging functions at compile time.

If this option is enabled, you can include “mbedtls/esp_debug.h” and call mbedtls_esp_enable_debug_log() at runtime in order to enable mbedTLS debug output via the ESP log mechanism.

Name of the custom certificate directory or file. This path is evaluated relative to the project root directory.

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE_MAX_CERTS

Maximum no of certificates allowed in certificate bundle

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > Certificate Bundle > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CERTIFICATE_BUNDLE

Default value:

  • 200

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_ECP_RESTARTABLE

Enable mbedTLS ecp restartable

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable “non-blocking” ECC operations that can return early and be resumed.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_CMAC_C

Enable CMAC mode for block ciphers

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable the CMAC (Cipher-based Message Authentication Code) mode for block ciphers.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_AES

Enable hardware AES acceleration

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable hardware accelerated AES encryption & decryption.

Note that if the ESP32 CPU is running at 240MHz, hardware AES does not offer any speed boost over software AES.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_GCM

Enable partially hardware accelerated GCM

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_AES

Enable partially hardware accelerated GCM. GHASH calculation is still done in software.

If MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_GCM is disabled and MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_AES is enabled then mbedTLS will still use the hardware accelerated AES block operation, but on a single block at a time.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_MPI

Enable hardware MPI (bignum) acceleration

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable hardware accelerated multiple precision integer operations.

Hardware accelerated multiplication, modulo multiplication, and modular exponentiation for up to SOC_RSA_MAX_BIT_LEN bit results.

These operations are used by RSA.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_SHA

Enable hardware SHA acceleration

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable hardware accelerated SHA1, SHA256, SHA384 & SHA512 in mbedTLS.

Due to a hardware limitation, on the ESP32 hardware acceleration is only guaranteed if SHA digests are calculated one at a time. If more than one SHA digest is calculated at the same time, one will be calculated fully in hardware and the rest will be calculated (at least partially calculated) in software. This happens automatically.

SHA hardware acceleration is faster than software in some situations but slower in others. You should benchmark to find the best setting for you.

Default value:
CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_ECC

Enable hardware ECC acceleration

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable hardware accelerated ECC point multiplication and point verification for points on curve SECP192R1 and SECP256R1 in mbedTLS

Enable ECDSA signing using on-chip ECDSA peripheral

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable hardware accelerated ECDSA peripheral to sign data on curve SECP192R1 and SECP256R1 in mbedTLS.

Note that for signing, the private key has to be burnt in an efuse key block with key purpose set to ECDSA_KEY. If no key is burnt, it will report an error

The key should be burnt in little endian format. espefuse.py utility handles it internally but care needs to be taken while burning using esp_efuse APIs

Default value:

  • No (disabled) if SOC_ECDSA_SUPPORTED

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HARDWARE_ECDSA_VERIFY

Enable ECDSA signature verification using on-chip ECDSA peripheral

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_ATCA_HW_ECDSA_VERIFY

Enable hardware ECDSA verify acceleration when using ATECC608A

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

This option enables hardware acceleration for ECDSA sign function, only when using ATECC608A cryptoauth chip (integrated with ESP32-WROOM-32SE)

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME

Enable mbedtls time support

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Enable use of time.h functions (time() and gmtime()) by mbedTLS.

This option doesn’t require the system time to be correct, but enables functionality that requires relative timekeeping - for example periodic expiry of TLS session tickets or session cache entries.

Disabling this option will save some firmware size, particularly if the rest of the firmware doesn’t call any standard timekeeeping functions.

Default value:

  • Yes (enabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_PLATFORM_TIME_ALT

Enable mbedtls time support: platform-specific

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME

Enabling this config will provide users with a function “mbedtls_platform_set_time()” that allows to set an alternative time function pointer.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME_DATE

Enable mbedtls certificate expiry check

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS > CONFIG_MBEDTLS_HAVE_TIME

Enables X.509 certificate expiry checks in mbedTLS.

If this option is disabled (default) then X.509 certificate “valid from” and “valid to” timestamp fields are ignored.

If this option is enabled, these fields are compared with the current system date and time. The time is retrieved using the standard time() and gmtime() functions. If the certificate is not valid for the current system time then verification will fail with code MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_FUTURE or MBEDTLS_X509_BADCERT_EXPIRED.

Enabling this option requires adding functionality in the firmware to set the system clock to a valid timestamp before using TLS. The recommended way to do this is via ESP-IDF’s SNTP functionality, but any method can be used.

In the case where only a small number of certificates are trusted by the device, please carefully consider the tradeoffs of enabling this option. There may be undesired consequences, for example if all trusted certificates expire while the device is offline and a TLS connection is required to update. Or if an issue with the SNTP server means that the system time is invalid for an extended period after a reset.

Default value:

  • No (disabled)

CONFIG_MBEDTLS_ECDSA_DETERMINISTIC

Enable deterministic ECDSA

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Standard ECDSA is “fragile” in the sense that lack of entropy when signing may result in a compromise of the long-term signing key.

Default value:

Enable the SHA-384 and SHA-512 cryptographic hash algorithms

Found in: Component config > mbedTLS

Default value:

Newlib

Contains:

CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDOUT_LINE_ENDING

Line ending for UART output

Found in: Component config > Newlib

This option allows configuring the desired line endings sent to UART when a newline (’n’, LF) appears on stdout. Three options are possible:

CRLF: whenever LF is encountered, prepend it with CR

LF: no modification is applied, stdout is sent as is

CR: each occurence of LF is replaced with CR

This option doesn’t affect behavior of the UART driver (drivers/uart.h).

Available options:

  • CRLF (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDOUT_LINE_ENDING_CRLF)

  • LF (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDOUT_LINE_ENDING_LF)

  • CR (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDOUT_LINE_ENDING_CR)

CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDIN_LINE_ENDING

Line ending for UART input

Found in: Component config > Newlib

This option allows configuring which input sequence on UART produces a newline (’n’, LF) on stdin. Three options are possible:

CRLF: CRLF is converted to LF

LF: no modification is applied, input is sent to stdin as is

CR: each occurence of CR is replaced with LF

This option doesn’t affect behavior of the UART driver (drivers/uart.h).

Available options:

  • CRLF (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDIN_LINE_ENDING_CRLF)

  • LF (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDIN_LINE_ENDING_LF)

  • CR (CONFIG_NEWLIB_STDIN_LINE_ENDING_CR)

CONFIG_NEWLIB_NANO_FORMAT

Enable ‘nano’ formatting options for printf/scanf family

Found in: Component config > Newlib

In most chips the ROM contains parts of newlib C library, including printf/scanf family of functions. These functions have been compiled with so-called “nano” formatting option. This option doesn’t support 64-bit integer formats and C99 features, such as positional arguments.

For more details about “nano” formatting option, please see newlib readme file, search for ‘–enable-newlib-nano-formatted-io’: https://sourceware.org/newlib/README

If this option is enabled and the ROM contains functions from newlib-nano, the build system will use functions available in ROM, reducing the application binary size. Functions available in ROM run faster than functions which run from flash. Functions available in ROM can also run when flash instruction cache is disabled.

Some chips (e.g. ESP32-C6) has the full formatting versions of printf/scanf in ROM instead of the nano versions and in this building with newlib nano might actually increase the size of the binary. Which functions are present in ROM can be seen from ROM caps: ESP_ROM_HAS_NEWLIB_NANO_FORMAT and ESP_ROM_HAS_NEWLIB_NORMAL_FORMAT.

If you need 64-bit integer formatting support or C99 features, keep this option disabled.

CONFIG_NEWLIB_TIME_SYSCALL

Timers used for gettimeofday function

Found in: Component config > Newlib

This setting defines which hardware timers are used to implement ‘gettimeofday’ and ‘time’ functions in C library.

  • If both high-resolution (systimer for all targets except ESP32)

    and RTC timers are used, timekeeping will continue in deep sleep. Time will be reported at 1 microsecond resolution. This is the default, and the recommended option.

  • If only high-resolution timer (systimer) is used, gettimeofday will

    provide time at microsecond resolution. Time will not be preserved when going into deep sleep mode.

  • If only RTC timer is used, timekeeping will continue in

    deep sleep, but time will be measured at 6.(6) microsecond resolution. Also the gettimeofday function itself may take longer to run.

  • If no timers are used, gettimeofday and time functions

    return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS.

  • When RTC is used for timekeeping, two RTC_STORE registers are

    used to keep time in deep sleep mode.

Available options:

  • RTC and high-resolution timer (CONFIG_NEWLIB_TIME_SYSCALL_USE_RTC_HRT)

  • RTC (CONFIG_NEWLIB_TIME_SYSCALL_USE_RTC)

  • High-resolution timer (CONFIG_NEWLIB_TIME_SYSCALL_USE_HRT)

  • None (CONFIG_NEWLIB_TIME_SYSCALL_USE_NONE)

NVS

Contains:

CONFIG_NVS_ENCRYPTION

Enable NVS encryption

Found in: Component config > NVS

This option enables encryption for NVS. When enabled, AES-XTS is used to encrypt the complete NVS data, except the page headers. It requires XTS encryption keys to be stored in an encrypted partition. This means enabling flash encryption is a pre-requisite for this feature.

Default value:
CONFIG_NVS_COMPATIBLE_PRE_V4_3_ENCRYPTION_FLAG

NVS partition encrypted flag compatible with ESP-IDF before v4.3

Found in: Component config > NVS

Enabling this will ignore “encrypted” flag for NVS partitions. NVS encryption scheme is different than hardware flash encryption and hence it is not recommended to have “encrypted” flag for NVS partitions. This was not being checked in pre v4.3 IDF. Hence, if you have any devices where this flag is kept enabled in partition table then enabling this config will allow to have same behavior as pre v4.3 IDF.

SoC Settings

Contains:

MMU Config

SPI Flash driver

Contains:

CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_VERIFY_WRITE

Verify SPI flash writes

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

If this option is enabled, any time SPI flash is written then the data will be read back and verified. This can catch hardware problems with SPI flash, or flash which was not erased before verification.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_LOG_FAILED_WRITE

Log errors if verification fails

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver > CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_VERIFY_WRITE

If this option is enabled, if SPI flash write verification fails then a log error line will be written with the address, expected & actual values. This can be useful when debugging hardware SPI flash problems.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_WARN_SETTING_ZERO_TO_ONE

Log warning if writing zero bits to ones

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver > CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_VERIFY_WRITE

If this option is enabled, any SPI flash write which tries to set zero bits in the flash to ones will log a warning. Such writes will not result in the requested data appearing identically in flash once written, as SPI NOR flash can only set bits to one when an entire sector is erased. After erasing, individual bits can only be written from one to zero.

Note that some software (such as SPIFFS) which is aware of SPI NOR flash may write one bits as an optimisation, relying on the data in flash becoming a bitwise AND of the new data and any existing data. Such software will log spurious warnings if this option is enabled.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ENABLE_COUNTERS

Enable operation counters

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

This option enables the following APIs:

  • esp_flash_reset_counters

  • esp_flash_dump_counters

  • esp_flash_get_counters

These APIs may be used to collect performance data for spi_flash APIs and to help understand behaviour of libraries which use SPI flash.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ROM_DRIVER_PATCH

Enable SPI flash ROM driver patched functions

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

Enable this flag to use patched versions of SPI flash ROM driver functions. This option should be enabled, if any one of the following is true: (1) need to write to flash on ESP32-D2WD; (2) main SPI flash is connected to non-default pins; (3) main SPI flash chip is manufactured by ISSI.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ROM_IMPL

Use esp_flash implementation in ROM

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

Enable this flag to use new SPI flash driver functions from ROM instead of ESP-IDF.

If keeping this as “n” in your project, you will have less free IRAM. But you can use all of our flash features.

If making this as “y” in your project, you will increase free IRAM. But you may miss out on some flash features and support for new flash chips.

Currently the ROM cannot support the following features:

  • SPI_FLASH_AUTO_SUSPEND (C3, S3)

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE

Writing to dangerous flash regions

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

SPI flash APIs can optionally abort or return a failure code if erasing or writing addresses that fall at the beginning of flash (covering the bootloader and partition table) or that overlap the app partition that contains the running app.

It is not recommended to ever write to these regions from an IDF app, and this check prevents logic errors or corrupted firmware memory from damaging these regions.

Note that this feature *does not* check calls to the esp_rom_xxx SPI flash ROM functions. These functions should not be called directly from IDF applications.

Available options:

  • Aborts (CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE_ABORTS)

  • Fails (CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE_FAILS)

  • Allowed (CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_DANGEROUS_WRITE_ALLOWED)

CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_SHARE_SPI1_BUS

Support other devices attached to SPI1 bus

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

Each SPI bus needs a lock for arbitration among devices. This allows multiple devices on a same bus, but may reduce the speed of esp_flash driver access to the main flash chip.

If you only need to use esp_flash driver to access the main flash chip, disable this option, and the lock will be bypassed on SPI1 bus. Otherwise if extra devices are needed to attach to SPI1 bus, enable this option.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_BYPASS_BLOCK_ERASE

Bypass a block erase and always do sector erase

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

Some flash chips can have very high “max” erase times, especially for block erase (32KB or 64KB). This option allows to bypass “block erase” and always do sector erase commands. This will be much slower overall in most cases, but improves latency for other code to run.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_YIELD_DURING_ERASE

Enables yield operation during flash erase

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

This allows to yield the CPUs between erase commands. Prevents starvation of other tasks. Please use this configuration together with SPI\_FLASH\_ERASE\_YIELD\_DURATION\_MS and SPI\_FLASH\_ERASE\_YIELD\_TICKS after carefully checking flash datasheet to avoid a watchdog timeout. For more information, please check SPI Flash API reference documenation under section OS Function.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ERASE_YIELD_DURATION_MS

Duration of erasing to yield CPUs (ms)

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver > CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_YIELD_DURING_ERASE

If a duration of one erase command is large then it will yield CPUs after finishing a current command.

CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_WRITE_CHUNK_SIZE

Flash write chunk size

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

Flash write is broken down in terms of multiple (smaller) write operations. This configuration options helps to set individual write chunk size, smaller value here ensures that cache (and non-IRAM resident interrupts) remains disabled for shorter duration.

Range:
Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_SIZE_OVERRIDE

Override flash size in bootloader header by ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

SPI Flash driver uses the flash size configured in bootloader header by default. Enable this option to override flash size with latest ESPTOOLPY_FLASHSIZE value from the app header if the size in the bootloader header is incorrect.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_CHECK_ERASE_TIMEOUT_DISABLED

Flash timeout checkout disabled

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

This option is helpful if you are using a flash chip whose timeout is quite large or unpredictable.

Default value:
CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_OVERRIDE_CHIP_DRIVER_LIST

Override default chip driver list

Found in: Component config > SPI Flash driver

This option allows the chip driver list to be customized, instead of using the default list provided by ESP-IDF.

When this option is enabled, the default list is no longer compiled or linked. Instead, the default_registered_chips structure must be provided by the user.

See example: custom_chip_driver under examples/storage for more details.

Default value:

Default value:

  • 4

CONFIG_SPIFFS_USE_MTIME

Save file modification time

Found in: Component config > SPIFFS Configuration

If enabled, then the first 4 bytes of per-file metadata will be used to store file modification time (mtime), accessible through stat/fstat functions. Modification time is updated when the file is opened.

With sector size set to 512 bytes, wear levelling library will perform more operations with flash memory, but less RAM will be used by FAT filesystem library (512 bytes for the filesystem and 512 bytes for each file opened).

Available options:

  • 512 (CONFIG_WL_SECTOR_SIZE_512)

  • 4096 (CONFIG_WL_SECTOR_SIZE_4096)

CONFIG_WL_SECTOR_MODE

Sector store mode

Found in: Component config > Wear Levelling

Specify the mode to store data into flash:

  • In Performance mode a data will be stored to the RAM and then stored back to the flash. Compared to the Safety mode, this operation is faster, but if power will be lost when erase sector operation is in progress, then the data from complete flash device sector will be lost.

  • In Safety mode data from complete flash device sector will be read from flash, modified, and then stored back to flash. Compared to the Performance mode, this operation is slower, but if power is lost during erase sector operation, then the data from full flash device sector will not be lost.

Available options:

  • Perfomance (CONFIG_WL_SECTOR_MODE_PERF)
