2.1.0-rc1: Various issues

[andig]

No luck with staging on Windows, IDE 1.6.7 - compile fails:

Board generic (platform esp8266, package esp8266) is unknown
Error compiling.

Once this happens switching back to 2.0.0 doesn't work either. Only solution is to delete the rc1 folder.

try to delete the 2.0.0 and rc1 folder, and then install the rc1 new.

Fixed. Seems you can have either 2.0 or 2.1-rc1. Same for the boards manager btw. If both URLs are present, the stable versions (1st URL in my case) are suppressed- probably an IDE issue....

Next stopper: can't compile with Debug->all and Debug Serial->Serial:

             DEBUG_WIFI_MULTI("[WIFI] SSID: %s\n", WiFi.SSID());

Also had the DEBUG_WIFI_MULTI issue - commented and then was able to compile fine.

I have another issue, running in SoftAP mode, I seem to fail getting an IP address from the ESP.

my code

IPAddress IP_AP(192,168,4,1);
IPAddress IP_Gateway(192,168,4,1);
IPAddress IP_Subnet(192,168,4,255);
Serial.setDebugOutput(true);
WiFi.mode(WIFI_AP);
WiFi.softAP(espSSID);
WiFi.softAPConfig(IP_AP, IP_Gateway, IP_Subnet);

What I'm getting with full debug activated :

wifi evt: 7
wifi evt: 7
wifi evt: 7
.wifi evt: 7
add 1
aid 1
station: b4:07:f9:9d:6c:ee join, AID = 1
wifi evt: 5
station: b4:07:f9:9d:6c:ee join, AID = 1
wifi evt: 5
station: b4:07:f9:9d:6c:ee join, AID = 1
wifi evt: 5
.wifi evt: 7
wifi evt: 7
wifi evt: 7

When I just replace the SDK1.5.0 SDK by the 1.4.0 in the 2.1.0 release - It works again and I get the following traces

wifi evt: 7
..chg_A3:-180
...wifi evt: 7
add 1
aid 1
station: b4:07:f9:9d:6c:ee join, AID = 1

DEBUG_WIFI_MULTI issue see #1369
will check what the DHCP server has for a problem.

Thanks. Removing 2.0.0 did the trick.
