Root cause of the dead data path (assoc/scan/RPC fine, zero data frames): esp-hosted 1.4.x is formally incompatible with IDF 5.5 (esp-hosted-mcu#47) and the factory C6 slave firmware was ancient (couldn't even answer a version RPC). Waveshare's examples pin 1.4.* — do not follow them. Fix: - host: espressif/esp_hosted ^2.12 (+ esp_wifi_remote 1.6) - slave: 2.12.11 network_adapter.bin embedded in the app (c6_ota.c streams it to the C6 over the SDIO RPC channel at boot when the reported version is < 2.x; ~10s, no wires, idempotent) - RAM diet for hosted 2.x's footprint (MEMPOOL_PREFER_SPIRAM, reduced WIFI_RMT buffers) — without it internal SRAM famine boot-loops in xTaskCreateStaticPinnedToCore before app_main - conservative 20MHz SDIO clock for first verified data path Verified on hardware: DHCP lease (even that healed), 8/8 pings to router and tower-of-joy at 1-5ms, WebSocket to the gateway connected, device registered at /devices as desklock-p4 with fw version. Also: wifi_diag.c L1 SoftAP diagnostic mode (DESKLOCK-DIAG) with review fixes, boot ping ladder in net.c, static-IP fallback, face_status() line, docs for the whole failure taxonomy.

Quick orientation
DeskLock = firmware for a Waveshare ESP32-P4 round-display device (firmware/, ESP-IDF/C/LVGL)
plus a voice gateway container (gateway/, Python/FastAPI, port 8600) that bridges device
audio to the Tatlock butler API. The device↔gateway WebSocket protocol lives in
docs/architecture.md and must stay in sync with both implementations.
Commands
# Firmware (requires `source ~/esp-idf/export.sh` first; IDF ≥ 5.4)
cd firmware && idf.py build
idf.py -p /dev/ttyACM0 flash monitor
# Gateway
cd gateway && make setup # once
make run # dev server :8600
make test # pytest; single test: .venv/bin/pytest tests/test_health.py -k healthz
make lint typecheck
Gotchas
- ESP-IDF v5.5 lives at
~/esp-idf(source ~/esp-idf/export.sh). Flash viasg dialout -c …(see AGENTS.md) — the login session predates dialout membership. - PSRAM 200 MHz requires
CONFIG_IDF_EXPERIMENTAL_FEATURES=y— without it the option silently degrades to 20 MHz and the DSI display underruns into a watchdog loop. Details in AGENTS.md. - Wi-Fi = esp_hosted 2.x on BOTH chips (host manifest + C6 slave, auto-OTA'd from
main/c6_slave.bin). 1.x on IDF 5.5 gives working control RPC but a dead data path (the great July 14th debugging night). Boot-loop assert onxTaskCreateStaticPinnedToCore= internal-RAM famine. Details in AGENTS.md. - Gateway speech deps are optional extras;
make setupalone runs the app and tests without GPU/ML packages.make setupusespython3.12(system python3 is 3.8). - Tatlock replies open with a
<think>block — always strip viatatlock.strip_reasoning()before TTS or display. - Low power is a prime user requirement: see "Power management" in docs/architecture.md before touching the face/render loop.
