Debugging the Physical Layer

Postby SteveWonder » Tue Feb 15, 2022 7:52 pm

Hi All,

I am an EE student.

As part of my project, I need to present real time values from the lower layers,
such as freq\time\phase corrections, EVM results, CRC checks, estimator etc.

Is there access to those values in the API? I got lost in there...

Alternatively, if the above is impossible with the ESP32: Is it possible to simply get
the raw values of IF, and I would try to run the physical layer process myself?

Thanks for your help!

Given that the phy layer is closed source and I don't think anyone else needs that functionality, I'm gonna say 'no'. Closest I know you can get is that the ESP32 chips allow you to retrieve the CSI information, but that's it.

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply!

CSI is better than nothing. Can you please point me out to the relevant functionality in the API?

Thanks for your time,
Steve

Suggest you chuck 'esp-idf csi' into your favourite search engine, mine came up with the first page filled with relevant links.
