Great book. I use it a lot while working with the 8266.

A few mistakes in the November Version:

Page 131 unit32 S/B uint32

Page 260 unit32 S/B uint32

Page 261 unit16 S/B uint16 (twice)

Page 278 unit8 S/B uint8

Page 289 unit32 S/B uint32

Page 298 unit32 S/B uint32

Page 296 unit8 S/B uint8

Page 305 unit32 S/B uint32 (Twice)

Page 306 unit32 S/B uint32

Page 313 unit32 S/B uint32

First, great book!

Second, I wanted to pass on the only item, so far, that is not clear to me. I'm not saying you didn't write it clearly...just saying it's not clear to me!

On page 142 (Nov release), the 'yield' example is not clear to me. I can't find some of the items listed in the bulleted list prior, and thus can't figure out how to invoke it or use it.

Not sure if this is a typo? In user_init called "cont_init(&g_cont);" Should that be 'call' instead of 'called'? Not a big deal if it's just a typo, but I'm just learning, and not sure of the context.

Next: how/where does esp_schedule(...) get used?

Next: Bullet 4: Register a system_os_task() processor. I don't see this in the example, so not sure of what's going on here.

Thanks,
