Hi, First, I'd like to understand how we ended up in this situation of using third-party packages from Espressif and Raspberry Pi.
I believe this was discussed and decided by a vote some time ago. Now, we need to understand what went wrong and try to fix it. Espressif is one of the few companies with dedicated teams providing support for NuttX, but I believe they are overloaded with other responsibilities. At this point, the idea of creating a fork doesn't seem like a bad one to me.
