Here's why this helps fix the build error:
If this file does not exist or is out of date, then it is generated
and then the Makefile is re-read.
I don't know why this worked before but stopped now; it must have
to do with the rework of header generation in the MP build system.
while developing esp-camera I had the problem that firmware.elf was
not regenerated if the only file I edited was in the esp32-camera
submodule.
By telling make that $(IDF_CMAKE_TARGETS), the list of .a fliles
produced by ninja-building esp-idf, depend on esp-idf-stamp and that
firmware.elf in turn depends on these files, the ninja build is re-run
on each make, which is reasonably quick if nothing needs to be rebuilt.
Adding `-u ld_include_highint_hdl` forces the linker to keep the
high priority interrupt handler that calls the ipc_isr handler.
The deep sleep is waiting for this interrupt to be handled on core
0 before sleeping from core 1.
Fixes#6090
This uses the esp32-camera code instead of our own homebrewed camera code.
In theory it supports esp32, esp32-s2 and esp32-s3, as long as they have
PSRAM.
This is very basic and doesn't support changing any camera parameters,
including switching resolution or pixelformat.
This is tested on the Kaluga (ESP32-S2) and ESP32-S3-Eye boards.
First, reserve some PSRAM by putting this line in `CIRCUITPY/_env`:
```
CIRCUITPY_RESERVED_PSRAM=524288
```
and hard-reset the board for it to take effect.
Now, the following script will take a very low-resolution jpeg file and print
it in the REPL in escape coded form:
```python
import board
import esp32_camera
c = esp32_camera.Camera(
data_pins=board.CAMERA_DATA,
external_clock_pin=board.CAMERA_XCLK,
pixel_clock_pin=board.CAMERA_PCLK,
vsync_pin=board.CAMERA_VSYNC,
href_pin=board.CAMERA_HREF,
pixel_format=esp32_camera.PixelFormat.JPEG,
i2c=board.I2C(),
external_clock_frequency=20_000_000)
m = c.take()
if m is not None:
print(bytes(m))
```
Then on desktop open a python repl and run something like
```python
>>> with open("my.jpg", "wb") as f: f.write(<BIG PASTE FROM REPL>)
```
and open my.jpg in a viewer.
.. the primary user of which will be the camera, since the framebuffers
must be allocated via esp-idf allocation function and never from the
gc heap.
A board can have a default value, and the value can also be set in the
/.env file using the key CIRCUITPY_RESERVED_PSRAM with the value being
the reserved size in bytes.
