ESP32 with FreeRTOS MPU

[superay]

Hi guys,

I've been working on a small project involving FreeRTOS-MPU support and have recently moved to ESP32. From viewtopic.php?t=7622 it seems like there is no FreeRTOS-MPU support for ESP32 unless it has been added recently (which does not seem to be the case). I've noticed MPU pointer being used as a pointer to maintain coprocessor's area in stack (also mentioned in the reply of the thread above. Can be seen in the definition of xMPU_SETTINGS in portmacro.h) which makes implementing FreeRTOS-MPU specific features myself complicated. In this case, what are the options to make use of the MPU/MMU on ESP32, probably talking to the registers in charge of the MPUs directly from the tasks? Are there any updates on having the features in ESP-IDF? If not, what is/are the reason(s) for not having it implemented?

You are right. The ESP32 does have a MPU, but it is somewhat limited and not supported in esp-idf at this moment.

Hello,

So would you please let us know like when it can be available into IDF to use it?

At the moment, there are no plans to implement support for it in ESP-IDF.
