ESP32 – dockerized toolchain

Docker image built on top of espressif/idf with xtensa toolchain, ESP_IDF, and few additional tools: xtensa toolchain (2019; crosstool-NG esp-2019r2; 8.2.0) esptool.py (v2.9-dev) make (v4.1) cmake (v3.10.2) DockerHub: https://hub.docker.com/r/lpodkalicki/esp32-toolchain Installing Bellow you can find recommended simple one-line installer that pulls the newest docker-image and installs esp32-toolchainscript into “/usr/bin/” directory. curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lpodkalicki/esp32-toolchain-docker/master/install.sh | bash -s — Getting started Install toolchain … Read more

ESP32 – WiFi sniffer

This experimental project shows how to build a simple and inexpensive WiFi packet analyzer (also known as a WiFi sniffer). The heart of this project is WiFi module of ESP32 which is able to work in a promiscusous mode. It means that this clever chip allows IEEE802.11 network packets capturing for further analyzing. Because WiFi … Read more
