Description

Describe the Enhancement Implement the same CI and remote development features for the esp32 project that was implemented for the stm32 described in #59

Benefits

  • Allow for development without hardware
  • CI Testing that eliminates need for user tests on PRs

Possible Drawbacks

  • Security implications
  • Might break and cause false positives on other issues

Additional Context The esp32 uploads over the serial terminal rather than using a debugging interface such as SWD or JTAG. Unsure on how to monitor and reset the board at the same time. Possibly some udev rules need to be written to prevent arbitrary naming of devices.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Look at the implementation for stm32 in issue #59 and adapt it for esp32, considering serial upload vs SWD/JTAG. Investigate udev rules for device naming and how to monitor and reset over serial.
