After a successful home-WiFi connection, caches BSSID/channel and
IP/netmask/gateway/DNS in NVS. The next wake's first connect attempt
uses the cached BSSID/channel (skips the all-channel scan) and applies
the cached IP directly once the link comes up (skips DHCP) -- a couple
fewer seconds of radio-on time per wake, free every wake since nothing
about the network actually needs renegotiating most of the time.
Falls back to a normal scan+DHCP attempt, and clears the cache, if: the
fast attempt itself fails, or it "succeeds" at the WiFi layer but the
full fetch cycle then fails anyway (a stale cached IP/DNS/gateway that
associates but can't actually reach the server). Also cleared on
(re)provisioning and factory reset, since a new network shouldn't try
to reuse the old one's cache.
The static-IP path needed care to get right without touching untested
territory: esp_netif_set_ip_info() only posts IP_EVENT_STA_GOT_IP (what
the existing connect-wait logic blocks on) once the netif is already
up, which the internal netif-glue's own WIFI_EVENT_STA_CONNECTED
handler guarantees by running first (registered earlier, in
esp_netif_create_default_wifi_sta()) -- confirmed against ESP-IDF's own
static_ip example and esp_netif_handlers.c source rather than assumed.
Falling back after a failed fast attempt also needed an explicit
esp_netif_dhcpc_start() first: esp_netif_dhcpc_stop() leaves the netif's
DHCP status STOPPED rather than resetting to INIT, and left alone the
glue would silently re-post the stale cached IP on the next connect
instead of actually running DHCP (esp_netif_action_connected).
Version bumped to 1.1.0 (real feature, not just a fix); build-verified
clean on both board configs (devkit 8MB, XIAO 4MB), no new warnings.
- version.txt + esp_app_desc_t version reporting (X-Frame-Version header);
new ota_update.c checks the server's advertised version against the
running one and streams+applies an update via esp_https_ota, gated by
bootloader rollback (marks the image valid only after a full successful
cycle, so a bad update can't brick a wall-mounted frame).
- Dual-OTA partition tables: partitions.csv (8MB dev board, 2MB slots) and
new partitions_xiao.csv (4MB XIAO, 1.875MB slots -- the dev board's
table doesn't fit the XIAO's flash). New build_for_board.sh gives each
board its own build dir + generated sdkconfig via SDKCONFIG_DEFAULTS
layering, so switching boards never clobbers the other's config.
- fetch_photo_info()/fetch_face_labels() were using the short
reachability-check timeout even though the manage-menu path can be the
first (cold, TLS-handshake-paying) request of a wake cycle -- switched
to the longer fetch timeout to stop spurious ESP_ERR_HTTP_CONNECT
failures.
- XIAO: the RF switch that selects onboard vs. external antenna
(GPIO3/14) isn't initialized by plain ESP-IDF the way Seeed's Arduino
package does it, leaving WiFi unable to reliably reach the antenna at
all -- new board_antenna.c powers the switch and selects the onboard
antenna, gated behind FRAME_XIAO_ANTENNA_INIT (on by default in
sdkconfig.xiao). Also remaps the EPD DC/RST/BUSY pins, since the dev
board's defaults (GPIO9/10/11) aren't physically exposed on the XIAO.
