Does Toitware support it?

AmusedGrape 04/02/2024 07:13 PM

I believe Toitware only supports ESP32 boards

How about this one? Is it supported? This is new. https://www.digikey.hk/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-C6-DEVKITM-1-N4/18667011

I have a board with an ESP32-C6 on my table, but haven't yet tried to make it work.
It might be easy to get working, but for now I would pick another board, that has already been tested.

Timmy77 04/03/2024 04:16 PM

I think this is supported. I see it on Toitware page.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:16 PM

Yes. The C3 is supported.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:17 PM

It's a tuned down version of the normal ESP32.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:17 PM

If you just want to have a nice ESP32 board, then I recommend an ESP32 WROOM board.
If you want to have one of the best ESP32 boards, then pick an ESP32S3 board.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:17 PM

But the C3 works fine too.

Timmy77 04/03/2024 04:18 PM

ESP32 C3 has both wifi and BLE.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:18 PM

All ESP32 boards do.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:18 PM

But contrary to the ESP32 (wroom, wrover...), the C3 only has one core, and a bit less memory.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:19 PM

If you want to use BLE, I actually recommend a stronger board. The ESP implementation of BLE uses quite a lot of memory.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:20 PM

It works with the C3, but you often end up fighting for memory.

floitsch

All ESP32 boards do.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:21 PM

Actually, the S2 doesn't have BLE.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:23 PM

For example (memory with BLE...): it can be challenging to do a WiFi TLS connection and BLE at the same time.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:23 PM

@Timmy77

where are you located?

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:24 PM

Europe, US, ... ?

Timmy77 04/03/2024 04:24 PM

I am in Hong Kong.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:25 PM

Ok. Unfortunately, I have no idea how best to buy boards there.

Timmy77 04/03/2024 04:26 PM

I just want to train myself on Toitware. I actually will develop on TI Linux boards.

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:29 PM

Nice.
In that case, you have options:
- Use the desktop version (no GPIO, but the language still works nicely).
- The most typical ESP32 board: https://www.digikey.hk/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-DEVKITC-32E/12091810
- A very common ESP32 board with more (external) memory: https://www.digikey.hk/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-DEVKITC-VIE/12091811
- A really strong board. (8MB fast external memory): https://www.digikey.hk/en/products/detail/espressif-systems/ESP32-S3-DEVKITC-1-N8R8/15295894(edited)

floitsch 04/03/2024 04:35 PM

Actually, for the second one you probably want to have one with internal antenna. So not the VIE variant, but the VE one.
(I think that's the difference).

Timmy77 04/03/2024 04:48 PM

Could you recommend a colourful display to match my TI Linux board? Buyers may want extra colourful display for extra features. It is called business.

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:01 PM

As Erik wrote, any display that is based on an SSD1306 with SPI interface should work.

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:08 PM

You could go for something like this: https://www.digikey.hk/en/products/detail/newhaven-display-intl/NHD-2-4-240320CF-BSXV-F/11476257

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:08 PM

But connecting it to your board would be difficult.

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:08 PM

Since you are buying a new board anyway, I would consider buying one that has a screen already attached.

Timmy77 04/03/2024 05:16 PM

Yes, my Linux board has display interface connector!(edited)

Timmy77 04/03/2024 05:17 PM

I just tried to run /opt/toit-sdk/bin/toit.pkg list . It showed many packages!

Which controllers are supported in color_tft v2?

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:19 PM

For boards that already have a display this one could work.
Digikey says it's in stock but doesn't show me the price, though.

ILI9341, ILI9488, ST7789V, or ST7735

floitsch 04/03/2024 05:20 PM

Maybe also some close relatives.

Timmy77 04/03/2024 05:24 PM

There in Toitware already are many plugins for my favourite sensors! I need one more ublox chip and my TI long range wireless router hardware are almost ready!

I probably has one of these ILI9341, ILI9488.

This one is great for experiment. It even comes with an enclosure.

Timmy77 04/04/2024 09:38 AM

Is there a way to run Toit container under Linux board? How do we re-spawn critical Toit container/process?

floitsch 04/04/2024 09:42 AM

Depends a bit on your setup.
Typically, on desktops, we just generate an executable toit.compile -o ... and then treat it like any other executable that needs to run continuously.

We have plans to implement Artemis on top of Linux, where Artemis handles the individual containers itself, but that's by putting a layer on top of Linux.

Timmy77 04/04/2024 09:53 AM

We can create a systemd process for that process.
