WiPhone Arduino core 0.1.2 (board package)
==========================================
WHAT THIS IS
------------
WiPhone Arduino core ("WiPhone" platform, architecture esp32) version 0.1.2:
the vendor's Arduino-ESP32 board package needed to compile WiPhone firmware
from source. It defines the boards "WiPhone N0C311" and "WiPhone Pro N0C311P",
the 16 MB partition schemes, and bundles esptool (esptool.py and esptool.exe)
and the boot_app0.bin OTA selector image. Files inside are dated 2020-12 to
2021-03. It is the only platform version the vendor's Boards Manager index has
listed in every Wayback capture (2022-05-03, 2025-03-23, 2026-02-08).
Its size and SHA-256 match the vendor's package_WiPhone_index.json exactly
(57,552,168 bytes;
c65096229b57c9b4cea879ab0436a08c2196cbbdf193ed93b84a17b0cd5b5a63). The index
also names toolchain dependencies it downloads from Espressif
(xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc 1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0, esptool_py 2.6.1, mkspiffs
0.2.3); those are not part of this zip. No licence file specific to the core
was identified; it is a vendor-published free download.
APPLIES TO
----------
Building firmware for the WiPhone and WiPhone Pro (source entries
wiphone-firmware-source-0-8-27 and -0-8-30). The 0.8.32 changelog adds an SDK
version check, so different firmware versions may need different core
versions; which one each source release expects is not documented.
BEFORE STARTING
---------------
- Arduino IDE 1.8 or later.
- Internet access for the Espressif toolchain dependencies listed above, or
those packages already installed.
CONTENTS OF THIS ZIP

SHA-256 checksums of the files above.
INSTALLATION
------------
1. Preferred (vendor method): in the Arduino IDE open File > Preferences and
add
https://wiphone.io/static/releases/arduino_platforms/package_WiPhone_index.json
to Additional Board Manager URLs; open Tools > Board > Boards Manager,
search "wiphone" and install the package by the WiPhone Team.
2. If the vendor index is ever gone, the archived zip can be installed by
hand as a platform in the sketchbook's hardware folder (standard Arduino
layout <sketchbook>/hardware/WiPhone/esp32/). This manual method is not
described by the vendor, and the toolchain dependencies must still be
supplied.
3. Select Tools > Board > WiPhone.
VERIFYING
---------
Tools > Board lists WiPhone; the Boards Manager shows WiPhone version 0.1.2
installed.
IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG
-----------------------
- Compiler error about the SDK version when building newer firmware: the
0.8.32 changelog added such a check ("Enhanced the compiler error message
for wrong SDK version").
- Boards Manager checksum error: compare the zip with the SHA-256 above.
DOWNGRADING
-----------
An earlier platform, WiPhone0.1.0.zip, was captured by the Wayback Machine on
2024-07-12 at
https://web.archive.org/web/20240712053049/https://wiphone.io/static/releases/arduino_platforms/WiPhone0.1.0.zip;
it is not hosted here (no vendor index lists it).
