Support for new ESP32 (dual-core ESP8266 with bluetooth)

[nathanwiebe]

Now that the ESP32 is out and available for purchase (see here: http://www.seeedstudio.com/ESP3212-Wifi-Bluetooth-Combo-Module-p-2706.html), is there a plan to upgrade the ESP8266 VisualGDB library to include support for this new chip?

For anyone unaware of the ESP32, it is basically:
-dual core (same core type as original – Xtensa LX6)
-bluetooth radio
-much more SRAM
-better sleep modes and low power performance
-more peripherals, like encryption hardware, ethernet MAC, CAN, etc.
-more GPIO (original was always pinched for IO)

Hi,

Yes, we are definitely planning to support ESP32 as well as soon as we could some boards. We have ordered a few boards from seeedstudio and will post updates on our Twitter once we have a preliminary version of the BSP.

Do you have any news on this topic ?

Yes, we got the hardware and will most likely release a BSP in the next few weeks.
