- Sat Apr 02, 2016 12:29 pm #44682 Is that this project here: https://github.com/kadamski/esp-lwip

I guess I just don't understand the architecture of these things. Additionally, that project seems very poorly documented. I can't tell what many of the functions do :-/

One side-note: The way LWIP and the Espressif stack go together are great for things that want BSD-style sockets, but, they really do chow down on RAM usage. I guess I'm used to doing TCP on an AVR with 4k of ram. I really need to just accept that the ESP's got 40k and move on with my life.

Not sure how they are all related. It will obviously require drilling down into lwip inner workings a bit.

It is interesting how quickly memory optimization gets forgotten when moving away from an 8 bit state of mind.
