Fork fix: the SDIO wedge is FIXED (esp-hosted-mcu #167)
Root cause (verified against our exact IDF tree, not the community guess):
the "258" in "sdio_write_task: Failed to send data: 258" is NOT a timeout
(that is 263). 258 = 0x102 = ESP_ERR_INVALID_ARG. On the ESP32-P4, block-
mode CMD53 writes require the SOURCE buffer to be 64-byte (cache-line)
aligned; the IDF sdmmc driver rejects a misaligned source with INVALID_ARG
BEFORE any bus activity. esp_hosts write loop then declares "Unrecoverable
host sdio state" and reboots the whole P4. The audio TX payload is not
64-aligned, so streaming mic audio wedged on the very FIRST frame (which is
exactly what we saw: listening -> instant Failed to send -> reboot).

This also explains why buffer/queue/clock/retry tuning all did nothing: the
write never reached the bus. And why our symptom was instant, not after
~100 writes (the community block-mode-desync theory) — it is the first
misaligned buffer, every time.

Fix: vendored esp_hosted 2.12.11 as an editable local component (overrides
the registry copy) and bounce a misaligned TX payload through one aligned
DMA scratch buffer in hosted_sdio_write_block (port_esp_hosted_host_sdio.c).
TX is serialized by the bus lock so a single static bounce buffer is safe;
freed in hosted_sdio_deinit. Host-only change — no C6 reflash.

VERIFIED ON HARDWARE (autonomous self-test): 40s of continuous mic-audio
upstream streaming — the traffic that previously wedged on the first frame
— ran clean, zero timeouts, zero reboots. A guarded SDIO_TX_SELFTEST harness
is kept (compiled out) for future SDIO stress testing.

Credit: root cause + patch designed via multi-agent investigation; the
precise 258=INVALID_ARG decode (correcting the upstream community timeout
assumption) came from checking our actual esp_err.h.

Wifi itwt Example

Introduction

This example shows how to use itwt of wifi.

Itwt only works in station mode. And AP needs to support the capability of itwt.

Itwt can works under different power save mode.

Modem sleep (supported)

This is default mode. Under this mode, can support console command "itwt, probe" to config itwt.

  •          itwt: this command is for itwt setup/teardown/suspend.
    
  •          probe: this command will send a probe request to update tsf time with ap
    

Light Sleep (will support)

Need system support light sleep. Console command will not support in this mode.

Typical current consumption with Itwt enabled

Typical current consumption with Itwt disabled

Note that current consumption and average current are higher when disabled.
