Feature Request: Arduino IDE Tools Menu Info Dump for v3 #9026

Xylopyrographer started this conversation in Ideas
Discussion options

Feature request for the upcoming arduino-esp32 core v3.

It'd be great if we could programmatically grab all the info from the Arduino IDE (v2 & greater) Tools menu into an array or structure.

Be very good to have this for documenting and debugging a sketch so that we could, for example add a few Serial.println( ); statements and get something like:

Board: "ESP32 Dev Module"
Port: "/dev/cu.usbserial-0001"
CPU Frequency: "240MHz (WiFi/BT)"
Core Debug Level: "None"
Erase All Flash Before Sketch Upload: "Disabled"
Events Run On: "Core 1"
Flash Frequency: "8OMHz"
Flash Mode: "QIO"
Flash Size: "4MB (32Mb)"
JAG Adapter: "Disabled"
Arduino Runs On: "Core 1"
Partition Scheme: "Huge APP (3MB No OTA/1MB SPIFFS)"
PSRAM: "Disabled"
Upload Speed: "921600"
Programmer: "Esptool"

It would be a huge benefit when asking for help on this and other forums.

It would be good to modify this so that if a custom partition scheme is used, that would be noted with the file name of that scheme available too.

Thanks.

but we do already have that :) here is wat get's printed out if you set the core debug level to "debug" or "verbose". FQBN gives you the selected options:

Is there an API to get this info or does it only dump to the serial monitor is one of the debug modes is enabled?

Really need a way to capture this from within a sketch.

Comment options

it dumps to serial if debug level is "Debug" or "Verbose". Here are the functions: https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/master/cores/esp32/chip-debug-report.h

+1 for this as a callable feature. I was basically building the guts of "yes, I know you have an ESP32 but I need to know which of the zillion that REALLY means" support feature whe I stumbled upon chip-debug-report.{cc,h}
I'd essentially replicated that before finding it, but would absolutely build that into my debug/about prompt if I could get to that as a string.

Getting our users on correctly configured PSRAM configurations from arbitrary cheap development boards has been a challenge. If they have plentiful, functional OSPI PSRAM, we'd make different buffering/dma strategy than if we're suffering without PSRAM at all. I'm trying to build a debug screen to help them get USE_PSRAM/BOARD_HAS_PSRAM correct without them copy-pasting build flags and slurping -mfix-esp32-psram-cache-issue into an S3 and such.
Being able to collect that whole shebang as a string instead of bit-twiddling it would be way less fragile for us.
