Integrating MicroPython ADF and Camera API on ESP32-S3: Creating a Unified Firmware

[sheetaljain01]

Hi,

I am currently working on an ESP32-S3 camera with esp-adf on micropython.

I have tested both of the following:

1. Micropython ESP32-S3 camera with this repository:
   https://github.com/cnadler86/micropython-camera-API

2. MicroPython ADF with this repository:
   https://github.com/espressif/esp-adf/tree/master/micropython_adf

When I create custom firmware, both use different build commands:

• For the camera, I use:

      make USER_C_MODULES=../../../../micropython-camera-API/src/micropython.cmake BOARD=ESP32_GENERIC_S3 
      BOARD_VARIANT=SPIRAM_OCT all  
  

• For MicroPython ADF, I use:

    idf.py build -D MICROPY_BOARD_DIR=${ADF_PATH}/micropython_adf/boards/korvo2v3 -D 
    USER_C_MODULES=${ADF_PATH}/micropython_adf/mod/micropython.cmake  
  

How can I merge both of them to create a single firmware file where both functionalities work together?

Both repositories (micropython-camera-API and micropython_adf) have custom modules and potentially overlapping configurations. You have to identify the modules or features they add and any conflicting dependencies or settings.

Where you able to make any progress on this @sheetaljain01 ?

To combine different user C modules, I believe you need to add your own .cmake file which has the contents of both of the two cmake files. And then pass that to make using USER_C_MODULES
