Compilation error: 'esp_netif_next_unsafe' was not declared in this scope

[PaulSchulz]

Greetings, I got the compilation error when trying to compile the Esp32_oscilloscope code for a Heltec Wifi Kit 32 V3.
(This is an ESP32S3 board, without any PSRAM)

The code successfully builds and installs on the following:

• Lilygo T-Display (T Display PiICOC3) (ESP32C3); and an
• M5ATOM Echo (ESP-PICO-D4)

Using Arduino IDE v2 (arduino-ide_2.3.3_Linux_64bit.AppImage) on Ubuntu 24.04

Hello,

'esp_netif_next_unsafe' problem (with some boards) has been solved here: #31. So please, just replace 'esp_netif_next_unsafe' with 'esp_netif_next' function.

'i2s_set_adc_mode' problem occurs because your board does not have an appropriate I2S interface. Oscilloscope will still run on this board if you comment out the '#define USE_I2S_INTERFACE' line in Esp32_servers_config.h. Single channel analog sampling will not be that fast and accurate though.

[PaulSchulz]

Is the fix foir #31 going into the main code? (Thank you for letting me know.)

[BojanJurca]

esp_netif_next will be used in the next release.

According to ESP-IDF Programming Guide (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/api-reference/network/esp_netif.html) esp_netif_next is deprecated and Espressif suggests using a faser function esp_netif_next_unsafe. But there are some boards where esp_netif_next_unsafe is not supported. I haven't come across a board where esp_netif_next would not be supported though.
