Support Esp32-c5 as wifi co-processor for P4

[djmaus-build]

Wled build V5-C6 ( latest )
env esp32p4 16mb wifi with c6 as co-processor works ( only 2 4ghz )
C5 as co-processor ( detected slave esp32c5 , expected ! esp32c6
( and boot loops appears)

Both c6 and c5 have same hosted slave firmware and sdio configuration

Request:
Add esp32c5 as slave target ( hosted wifi )
( very usefull for the free 5Ghz band )

Many thanks 🥳

I think this is defined in the board definition, have you tried setting a suitable value for your board?

I don't have a P4+C5 board for testing - but generally arduino-esp32 is managing the Wifi processor via "esp-hosted" internally.
Can you create a debug build, and upload the serial monitor output? That would be the first step for understanding what happens.

sorry accidentially clicked on "close" instead of "comment" 😇

Stack memory:

try to find sdkconfig for the board settings , but not found :)
hope this log telling you something ?

thanks for the support in any way

🤔 as I expected ... the coprocessor MCU is "baked" into the arduino-esp32 libraries. To change the sdkconfig file, we would need a "hybrid" esp-idf build (arduino as a component), currently this is not possible. I'll keep an eye on it, but unless there is an arduino setting to change the coprocessor, we'll be stuck with P4+C6 boards only.
