# aes67-ESP32-P4 AES67 sender on a Waveshare ESP32-P4-ETH (PoE). Sources: Spotify Connect (cspot) and HLS/m3u8, with failover. Riedel-style web UI and a reusable AES67 core (PTP, RTP TX, SDP/SAP, VLAN, syslog, health) meant for later AES67 projects. Repo: https://gitea.apointless.space/bsncubed/aes67-ESP32-P4 ## Read first - `docs/aes67-core-base.md`: reusable core. Config schema, API, PTP (roles, Riedel defaults, status fields), AES67 TX/SDP/SAP, VLAN, syslog, temperatures, component layout. - `docs/hardware-and-design-notes.md`: board pinout, chip revision caveat, project pipeline (cspot/HLS), failover, player API. - `web/index.html`: finished web UI (single file). It is the API contract; firmware must match the JSON it reads and writes. ## Working rules - **One change at a time** ("one fuckup at a time"). Change or test one variable per step; never stack several fixes or hypotheses. If something breaks, go back to the last known-good state. - Follow the build order below. Finish and verify a step on hardware before starting the next. - After every change: `idf.py build`, flash, and check the serial monitor output. Show the relevant log lines. - Don't mark a step done until it has been verified on the board. - Keep core and project separate: `components/aes67_*` must not depend on `main/` (sources/player). Project code plugs in through the config, status and route registries. - `web/index.html`: keep the CORE / PROJECT markers. If the firmware needs an API change, change the doc and the page together. - Small, focused commits per step. ## Toolchain - ESP-IDF 5.5 or later (needed for the P4 and for `examples/network/vlan_support`). Target `esp32p4`. - `idf.py set-target esp32p4`, `idf.py build`, `idf.py -p flash monitor` - Before first build: run `esptool.py chip_id` and `esptool.py flash_id`. - Chip revision < v3.0 (engineering silicon, seen on some of these boards) needs `CONFIG_ESP32P4_SELECTS_REV_LESS_V3=y`. Our board: **v1.3** (set in sdkconfig.defaults, min rev v1.0). - Our board: **32 MB** flash (GigaDevice c8/4019). App slots must stay below 16 MB (cache mapping above 16 MB is experimental in IDF). - Embed `web/index.html` via `EMBED_TXTFILES` in `aes67_web`. ## Board quick reference (full details in docs) - Ethernet: IP101GRI, RMII, PHY addr 1, ref clock from PHY into GPIO50 (EMAC_CLK_EXT_IN). MDC 31, MDIO 52, PHY reset/power 51, TX_EN 49, TXD0 34, TXD1 35, CRS_DV 28, RXD0 29, RXD1 30. - No Wi-Fi/BT on this board. - On-die temperature sensor only (driver/temperature_sensor.h). ## Build order / status - [x] 0. Check chip revision and flash size; create IDF project and empty component stubs (layout in aes67-core-base.md). Set up the OTA partition table (two app slots, no factory) and PROJECT_VER from git now, so the layout never changes later. - [x] 1. Ethernet: IP101 up, DHCP, IP logged. Ping works. - [x] 2. Web server + config store (cJSON in NVS) + embedded index.html; /api/config, /api/status (stub values), /api/reboot. - [x] 2a. Finding the device: mDNS (hostname.local + _http._tcp), then LLDP (switch shows name + IP). - [ ] 2b. Firmware update: /api/ota upload + rollback self-test. Test: update to a new build, then deliberately flash a build that fails its self-test and confirm it rolls back. After this, flash over the network; keep USB for recovery. - [ ] 3. PTP TimeReceiver: lock to an existing GM (Riedel), fill `status.ptp`. Confirm EMAC hardware timestamps work. First check whether the installed ESP-IDF has a PTP example/component for the P4 before writing one. - [ ] 4. AES67 TX with a 1 kHz test tone, PTP-paced; /stream.sdp. Verify: import SDP on a Riedel Artist 4-wire AES67 port, and check packets/timestamps in Wireshark. - [ ] 5. SAP discovery, then syslog, then health/temperatures, then VLAN split (one at a time). - [ ] 6. PTP TimeTransmitter: BMCA roles (auto/master), hybrid mode. - [ ] 7. Sources: HLS player, then cspot (Spotify Connect), then failover + /api/player. - [ ] 8. Mono sum, gain, polish.
