At the moment the board crashes immediately at boot-up inside heap_alloc_caps_init(). I'm still trying to figure out what's the reason of the crash, but I could use some help if anyone here wants to try this patch and help investigate.

Comments and feedback at every level are more than welcome.

You'll probably need to decrease the uPy heap, try something like 32k to start with and if it works then you know that's the problem.

[danicampora]

@dpgeorge thanks, I already tried that and it didn't help. I also tried allocating the MP heap dynamically (that's what we do in our repo), but no difference either. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious so that's what I thought it'd be good to submit the PR and let others take a look :-)

I reduced the uPy heap to 16k, and didn't update the ESP IDF (ie I didn't include your last commit), and it booted ok. But doing network.Bluetooth() leads to a crash: E (30502) BT: Startup BTU

[danicampora]

@dpgeorge ok I'll try that, thanks!

@danicampora I compiled successfully. But I can not enter the REPL when I'm testing on the ESP-WROOM-32 development board.
The results are shown below.

I know :-), that's why I meant with:

I tried @dpgeorge suggestion of lowering the RAM to 16K, but it didn't help with the latest IDF.

[dpgeorge]

There were lots of changes recently in the ESP IDF so it was a non-trivial upgrade, but it's now done in 67d141c.

@danicampora you may want to remove from this PR the commit that updates the IDF, decrease heap size and try again.

Thanks @dpgeorge !

I pushed another commit. Now with Bluetooth linked the board boots (and the MicroPython heap is 64K), but trying to enable Bluetooth leads to the same crash: E (56743) BT: Startup BTU

linux is not compactible for micropython or requies more work on plugins

[BEMNETADEFIS]

BLE is among them

This repository has been merged upstream, see #233.

For Bluetooth, take a look here: micropython/micropython#3809 (comment) (I should probably make a real PR out of that).

the micropython programming is validate in LIUNX enviroment does any one tests it best regards bemnet adefris

Is anyone still working on this?

BLE support for esp32 is being implemented upstream via the following PR: micropython/micropython#5051
