Thanks guys. I was wondering though if there's a hardware change, or anything that results in no turning back, for disabling the wifi. The software may eventually require upgrading, so I'm not thinking about pursuing a way permanently disabling programming altogether right now. Thanks for suggesting...

Is there any way to permanently disable the wifi on the ESP32? I've had a few projects working well with the ESP32, so I'd like to keep using it, but for certain projects for security concerns I'd like to disable the wifi so that there's no way to turn it back on ever. Is this possible?

Thank you very much for your replies! I have not found any esp32 drivers for RPi, so yeah that side is going to be too much work for me right now, but thank you though; from what I was reading with the esp8266 stuff, both from the code, and the kernel libraries from trying to update the software, it...

Hi, I would really appreciate any help with this topic - I am currently mightily stuck in the mud. My goal is to see if I can use the ESP32 as a wifi+ble slave to give my Raspberry Pi compute module 3 wifi and ble capabilities. I am currently able to communicate between the ESP32 and Raspberry Pi us...
