Edgehog ESP32 Device is the Edgehog component for Espressif esp-idf, that enables remote management of Espressif ESP32 devices using Astarte.

Follow the esp-idf installation guide.

Follow the idf-component manager installation guide.

Create a new CMake project:

mkdir ~/hello_world cd ~/hello_world cp -r $IDF_PATH/examples/get-started/hello_world .

Create a new idf_component.yml in the project root directory, as follows:

## IDF Component Manager Manifest File dependencies: idf: version: ">=4.4.4" edgehog-esp32-device: version: "*" # this is the latest commit on the main branch git: https://github.com/edgehog-device-manager/edgehog-esp32-device.git astarte-device-sdk-esp32: version: "b47e453777f774835b3f86eeb0ce5d3b3a890c9c" # 'release-1.0' branch git: https://github.com/astarte-platform/astarte-device-sdk-esp32.git 

idf.py build

The Edgehog ESP32 Device interacts internally with the Free RTOS APIs. As such some factors should be taken into account when integrating this component in a larger system.

The following tasks are spawned directly by the Edgehog ESP32 Device:

• BLINK TASK: Provides functionality for visual feedback using an on board LED. It is only spawned if CONFIG_INDICATOR_GPIO_ENABLE is set in the Edgehog ESP32 device configuration, will use 2048 words from the stack, and can be triggered by a publish from the Astarte cluster to the dedicated LED interface. This task has a fixed duration and will be deleted at timeout.
• OTA UPDATE TASK: Provides functionality for OTA updates. It will use 4096 words from the stack, and can be triggered by a publish from the Astarte cluster to the dedicated OTA update interface. This task does not have a fixed duration, it will run untill a successful OTA update has been downloaded and flashed or the procedure failed. Note that the OTA update task could restart the device.

All of the tasks are spawned with the lowest priority and rely on the time slicing functionality of freertos to run concurrently with the main task.

Other than tasks, a certain number of software timers are also created to be used for telemetry. The actual number of timers that this component is going to use will depend on the telemetry configuration of your project. Each telemetry type will create a separate timer. Software timers run all in a single task instantiated by freertos. The stack size and priority for such task should be configured in the project using this component. This module has been tested using 2048 words for the stack size and a priority of 1 for the timer task.

In addition to what stated above, this component requires an Astarte ESP32 Device to be externally instantiated and provided in its configuration struct. The Astarte ESP32 Device interacts internally with the Free RTOS APIs and its resource usage should be evaluated separately.
