Currently the last 128KB of DRAM is reserved for the bootloader & early boot stacks. This means if >192KB of static DRAM
is allocated, the only available heap is this region - which is disabled until the scheduler starts. As a result, you
get either heap corruption on early boot if the static data overlaps startup heap (leading to very weird errors), or
FreeRTOS will fail to start when it can't malloc() anything.
Long term fix is to move the stacks & bootloader data to the very end of RAM, and only reserve that part for early
boot. This is a little fiddly because of also wanting to make sure this memory is not preemptively fragmented when it
gets reintroduced to the heap. This will become more important if/when we have more static allocation options in the
future.
For now, these errors make it clear why the boot has failed.

Because of errata related to BOD reset function, brownout is handled as follows:
- attach an ISR to brownout interrupt
- when ISR happens, print a message and do a software restart
- esp_restart_nonos enables RTC watchdog, so if restart fails,
there will be one more attempt to restart (using the RTC
watchdog)
RTC watchdog didn’t have any actions configured for any of the stages.
This change configures it to use SW_SYSTEM_RESET at stage 0 and a
full reset at stage 1. The timeout is now calculated based on
RTC_SLOW_CLK frequency.
Implements support for system level traces compatible with SEGGER
SystemView tool on top of ESP32 application tracing module.
That kind of traces can help to analyse program's behaviour.
SystemView can show timeline of tasks/ISRs execution, context switches,
statistics related to the CPUs' load distribution etc.
Also this commit adds useful feature to ESP32 application tracing module:
- Trace data buffering is implemented to handle temporary peaks of events load
Bug occurs when core dump destination in menuconfig is set to flash. When
programme crashes, xt_unhandled_exception or panicHandler will both trigger
commonErrorHandler. commonErrorHandler calls esp_core_dump_to_flash which
will attempt to use DPORT functions and hang due to trying to a stall and already
stalled processor (already stalled in xt_unhandled_exception and panicHandler).
Program will eventually be rebooted when wdt expires.
Added esp_dport_access_int_deinit after calls to haltOtherCore() so that DPORT
functions don't try to halt and already halted cpu hence preventing hang.
Fixes TW#12944 https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/646
Small changes to clock calibration value will cause increasing errors
the longer the device runs. Consider the case of deep sleep, assuming
that RTC counter is used for timekeeping:
- before sleep:
time_before = rtc_counter * calibration_val
- after sleep:
time_after = (rtc_counter + sleep_count) * (calibration_val + epsilon)
where 'epsilon' is a small estimation error of 'calibration_val'.
The apparent sleep duration thus will be:
time_after - time_before = sleep_count * (calibration_val + epsilon)
+ rtc_counter * epsilon
Second term on the right hand side is the error in time difference
estimation, it is proportional to the total system runtime (rtc_counter).
To avoid this issue, this change makes RTC_SLOW_CLK calibration value
persistent across restarts. This allows the calibration value update to
be preformed, while keeping time after update same as before the update.
This fixes a bug introduced by !848, where APP CPU would not be reset
during esp_restart, if esp_restart was called from a task running on APP
CPU, and wouldn’t be reset by PRO CPU on startup.
This change replaces stalling APP CPU with resetting it.
Also adds a non-automated esp_restart tests.
DPORT access protection can not work when the other CPU is stalled.
Writes to DPORT registers in esp_restart caused the program to hang due
to access protection, and the reset happened due to RTC_WDT, not SW_RST.
This change adds esp_dport_access_int_deinit function and calls it from
esp_restart once the other core is stalled.
