I understand you are anxious for any and all information, and maybe think it's a bit weird that the Pycom people seem to have more than is publicly available. A lot of that is because they have been here and actually got an opportunity to ask questions, but I can assure you that there aren't many technical things they know that I can't also post here publicly. For example, how can they make the PCB is pretty simple: they know the ESP32 layout because we actually released that into the public and we do not go around changing that: you can also make your own PCB if you want. The software they have now works on the ESP31B and because we'll try to make efforts in keeping the SDK for the ESP32 as much backwards compatible as possible, they know they'll probably won't have to change much to get it working once they have the ESP32 silicon.
Honestly, we here at Espressif are as eager to get out hands on the silicon as you are, and we understand not having any datasheets or SDKs doesn't make your life easier, but please accept the fact that we're also working hard to get everything in order for a release, and that releasing stuff preliminary isn't always possible. I personally am always willing to throw the community a bone (as you may know, Espressif hired me when I still was a member of the community myself) and you can ask any questions here and I'll try my best to answer them, but some stuff just won't be done until august, and I don't think it's a good idea to release untested and/or buggy stuff preliminary, sorry.
Espressif is simple the Best Team ever know, hear or seen - and we love it and they products!
The Team is the hardest working Team that we have ever know -
Espressif deserves the greatest recognition and awards.
I agree with some of you.
but why we are beta tester -
if we do not get "bugy software"?
we want to support you!
so we are "unemployed" and bored.
we see updates on the resource side (latest esp32 flash tool)
freely accessible. here in the forum (protected sdk) it is not updated.
why then protected?
we are a bit cut from the other information here
although this forum is the forum for the ESP32, should be.
and we wait in vain for more information.
nobody needs to wonder more,
when we here no longer grant informative,
what we know from our own try that we must do by 20° Celsius
i never heared from ESP_GREG again that he want replaced the Board... but is ok.
after 1/2 year i have got used to this warm air noise...
we can reverse many things - but the things is only for the "esp31"
and this is not the final chip and have no HW BLE. so we would happy
if we get at least the same info like Kickstarter, did we are at same level
if the product fails, because no information can provide
and that does not make the product bad, but the image on the esp32.
and we want to avoid precisely.
but once honestly:
Why brags Daniel with an NDA in the LoPy Campagne?
More attention? These are beginner and freeloaders, nothing more.
My personal opinion. Resepct to the Project itself - Respect to each project with ESP's -
because we love ESP..
Here stand and wait long existing industry companies, and their leaves are currently standing in the rain more as few month?!
Not every companie group makes itself known at the beginning, that's normal in the industry.
they have their "straw men" here, which can also lose their interest.
and that makes me worry large.
btw: PCB:
e.g.
The combined antenna design for Bluetooth and Wifi is thus freely accessible including BOM?
The 29 finished Lopy have no final ESP32?
The 12 beta testers do not anything with Bluetooth?
Since then apparently escaped me something ...
and my knowledge of the Beta Testa me then handed wrong? ..
..
..
sorry
holidays comes next week - so perhabs this is a good time for change.
btw:
here runs a fully CAN Master / Slave as Software Solution on ESP31!
Modbus Master / Slave is done too. without Docu and Info
same theme like ESP8266 I2C Slave,
and a little more on RF theme with DMA..
