Hi Felipe, It may have been lost in this huge thread, but the official position I have is the one that I already sent to the list:
1) Espressif always said it would conform to community rules; hence, why we > have been absent. The community must decide first, and then we can see > whether the contribution is feasible. > 2) We do not block contributions, and we never saw ourselves as 'owning' > Espressif support in NuttX. We do have opinions, and we do try to optimize, > and we do listen to others. We actually expect more people willing to help. > 3) So far, the discussed options were: - Total AI rewrite (I assume at the register level). - Fork, taking it from there - maybe going Zephyr style. - Replacing HAL slowly, piece by piece.
