Yeah but:
> Espressif will provide a fix that removes access to these HCI debug commands
Very annoying for researchers and tinkerers who would like to play with those commands.
- akx 2y agoYou left out the important part of that sentence. > Espressif will provide a fix that removes access to these HCI debug commands through a software patch for currently supported ESP-IDF versions ESP-IDF is the "SDK" for these chips – I read that as "you'll get a new function that you call to disable these commands until you reset the chip, to limit attack surface for the rest of your app".
- roger_ 2y agoI guess it could either mean “the patch will remove access to those commands” or “the patch will add the ability to disable those commands”.
- akx 2y agoThe researcher-or-tinkerer who wants to play with these commands can just not upgrade to the newer ESP-IDF. Or update to a newer ESP-IDF, and revert the patch. It's open source. https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf
