Expand Up @@ -136,6 +136,7 @@ The following options will reduce IRAM usage of some ESP-IDF features:
:SOC_WIFI_SUPPORTED: - Disable Wi-Fi options :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_WIFI_IRAM_OPT` and/or :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_WIFI_RX_IRAM_OPT`. Disabling these options will free available IRAM at the cost of Wi-Fi performance.
:esp32c3 or esp32s3: - :ref:`CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ROM_IMPL` enabling this option will free some IRAM but will mean that esp_flash bugfixes and new flash chip support is not available.
:esp32: - :ref:`CONFIG_SPI_FLASH_ROM_DRIVER_PATCH` disabling this option will free some IRAM but is only available in some flash configurations (see the configuration item help text).
:esp32: - If the application uses PSRAM and is based on ESP32 rev. 3 (ECO3), setting :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN` to ``3`` will disable PSRAM bug workarounds, saving ~10kB or more of IRAM.
- Disabling :ref:`CONFIG_ESP_EVENT_POST_FROM_IRAM_ISR` prevents posting ``esp_event`` events from :ref:`iram-safe-interrupt-handlers` but will save some IRAM.
- Disabling :ref:`CONFIG_SPI_MASTER_ISR_IN_IRAM` prevents spi_master interrupts from being serviced while writing to flash, and may otherwise reduce spi_master performance, but will save some IRAM.
- Setting :ref:`CONFIG_HAL_DEFAULT_ASSERTION_LEVEL` to disable assertion for HAL component will save some IRAM especially for HAL code who calls `HAL_ASSERT` a lot and resides in IRAM.

:esp32: - Set :ref:`CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHFREQ` to 80 MHz. This is double the 40 MHz default value and will double the speed at which code is loaded or executed from flash. You should verify that the board or module that connects the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} to the flash chip is rated for 80 MHz operation at the relevant temperature ranges, before changing this setting. The hardware datasheet(s) will have this information.
- Set :ref:`CONFIG_ESPTOOLPY_FLASHMODE` to QIO or QOUT mode (Quad I/O). Both will almost double the speed at which code is loaded or executed from flash compared to the default DIO mode. QIO is slightly faster than QOUT if both are supported. Note that both the flash chip model and the electrical connections between the {IDF_TARGET_NAME} and the flash chip must support quad I/O modes or the SoC will not work correctly.
- Set :ref:`CONFIG_COMPILER_OPTIMIZATION` to "Optimize for performance (-O2)". This may slightly increase binary size compared to the default setting, but will almost certainly increase performance of some code. Note that if your code contains C or C++ Undefined Behaviour then increasing the compiler optimization level may expose bugs that otherwise are not seen.
:esp32: - If the application uses PSRAM and is based on ESP32 rev. 3 (ECO3), setting :ref:`CONFIG_ESP32_REV_MIN` to ``3`` will disable PSRAM bug workarounds, reducing the code size and improving overall performance.
:SOC_CPU_HAS_FPU: - Avoid using floating point arithmetic (``float``). Even though {IDF_TARGET_NAME} has a single precision hardware floating point unit, floating point calculations are always slower than integer calculations. If possible then use fixed point representations, a different method of integer representation, or convert part of the calculation to be integer only before switching to floating point.
:not SOC_CPU_HAS_FPU: - Avoid using floating point arithmetic (``float``). On {IDF_TARGET_NAME} these calculations are emulated in software and are very slow. If possible then use fixed point representations, a different method of integer representation, or convert part of the calculation to be integer only before switching to floating point.
- Avoid using double precision floating point arithmetic (``double``). These calculations are emulated in software and are very slow. If possible then use an integer-based representation, or single-precision floating point.
