No ESP32-S3?

This looks great but needs a non-frictiony way to bolt together with some C or assembly code where needed. Not sure about JADAC, and wondering how hard it would be to write libraries / servers / whatever for sensors, DMA, ADC, etc.

Also note docs say "Serial, SPI, PWM are not supported yet at the DeviceScript level."

SPI is now supported (though only on ESP32 right now; PRs are welcome elswhere!), just fixed the docs. DMA is typically bundled with some other driver (like SPI).

We do support ADC - there is even a funky way of exposing these nicely as Jacdac servers so they show on debugging dashboards [0]

As for S3, PRs are welcome! :)

It’s odd that the S3 isn’t supported when the S2 is the same LX7 based core and as far as ESP-IDF bring up is concerned it’s pretty much just some io_mux_reg and other definitions (at least when I ported Nesper to the S3 from the original ESP32 project)

Though it also seems like it doesn’t use both of the LX7 cores:
