The erpc_tinyproto component provides a eRPC transport based on tinyproto, which is a library that provided an ARQ-like protocol layer.
Advantages of this transport:
- Proper connection-oriented communication, unlike e.g. bare UART.
- Log coexistence: rpc payloads can be mixed with
esp_log. Everything is passed to tinyproto, which decides what to keep and what to discard.
Limitations:
- Limitations: limited throughput. Need more investigation on how to improve this aspect.
Ensure that the tinyproto submodule has been downloaded.
Then add the directory of the tinyproto submodule to EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
This component provides also the tinyproto-based transport as Python binding. It is contained in the Python package provided by this repository.
An additional dependency is the Python binding of Tinyproto itself. You must install it.
# Install tinyproto
$ pip install ../../../external/tinyproto/
