nobody can get it to build properly using linux/mac with the xtensa toolchain - well its builds but bootloops whenever you use the file() functions etc.

zeroday uses the xp virtual machine from espressif, which seems to use the old xtensa tarball (here) plus a couple of missing simcall-* files, not the newer one used by the gcc crosstool-ng toolchains like esp-open-sdk or the wiki.

we really need to move away from using the espressif makefiles, vm's, etc. to something more maintainable.

-ng toolchain build a firmware with 2k ram less than the old xp vm. ( that's why I stick to the old one ),
It would be great if someone can figure out where is the 2k ram gone.

is file api problem fixed with old vm?
