Instruction-level emulation of four ESP32 SoCs, across both of Espressif's CPU architectures . Each boots the real mask ROM , the real 2nd-stage bootloader and an unmodified application image — no patched firmware, no stubs in the way — with enough of the SoC modelled to run real projects end to end. No cloud, no accounts. MIT. The classic ESP32 also boots its ECO3 ROM on dual LX6 cores, with GPIO, UART and timers; --board ttgo-tdisplay adds the LilyGO TTGO T-Display's ST7789 and buttons. These full-listing and hardware counts describe earlier manual runs. CI runs the checked-in sampled decoder corpora and emulator golden outputs; it excludes the external full-listing tests.
