SPI ESP32 Interface with DepthAI

Building

The first time you build, the repository submodules need be initialized:

git submodule update --init --recursive

# Tip: You can ask Git to do that automatically:
git config submodule.recurse true

Later submodules also need to be updated. To build an example, you will need to use ESP-IDF's idf.py. Examples here were only tested with ESP-IDF version 4.1 and we encourage you to use the same version as well.

SPI Protocol

SPI messaging is currently arranged in 2 layers. The first is the spi protocol. The spi protocol is the lowest level. It defines a standard packet for all SPI communication. It is a 256 byte packet arranged in the following manner:

typedef struct {
    uint8_t start;
    uint8_t data[SPI_PROTOCOL_PAYLOAD_SIZE];
    uint8_t crc[2];
    uint8_t end;
} SpiProtocolPacket;

start and end are constant bytes to mark the beginning and end of packets.

static const uint8_t START_BYTE_MAGIC = 0b10101010;
static const uint8_t END_BYTE_MAGIC = 0b00000000;

SPI Messaging

On top of this we have a layer called SPI messaging. This code defines the following:
