Does such feature exist on ESP32 CPU ?

Thanks for the hint and the fact it support asm instruction for that I will test it later to check it generate the right asm code...

Could you share your plugin ?

Thanks for the hint I will check that

Has there been an update on the assembler language reference manual availability?

Hi
Any news about the availability of the assembler language reference manual for ESP32?

It's unlikely that the official Cadence docs ever see a non-NDA-encumbered release... but there is information out there in the form of the compiler etc. We've tried to compile all this publically available info into one one file. It's a bit terse, bit I think it should be helpful when you decide to write assembly.
