ESP32 Template Documentation
============================

Welcome to the ESP32 Template project documentation. This template provides a complete development environment for ESP32 IoT projects with GitHub Codespaces, QEMU emulation, and professional requirements engineering methodology.

What is This Template?
----------------------

This is a **template repository** designed to be forked for new ESP32 projects. It combines:

* **Zero-setup development** - GitHub Codespaces with ESP-IDF pre-configured
* **Hardware optional** - QEMU emulation for testing without physical devices
* **Production-ready structure** - Component-based architecture following ESP-IDF best practices
* **Professional documentation** - Sphinx-Needs for requirements traceability
* **Example components** - Reference implementations for common IoT patterns

Key Features
~~~~~~~~~~~~

* **Component-based architecture** - Modular structure in ``main/components/``
* **Example implementations**:
  
  * ``config_manager`` - NVS configuration storage patterns
  * ``web_server`` - HTTP server with captive portal
  * ``cert_handler`` - HTTPS certificate handling
  * ``netif_uart_tunnel`` - QEMU network bridge

* **Real-time OS** - FreeRTOS for task management
* **Memory optimized** - 4MB flash configuration
* **Professional requirements engineering** - Sphinx-Needs for traceability

Quick Start
-----------

1. **Fork this repository** - Use it as a template for your project
2. **Customize** ``main/main.c`` - Add your application logic
3. **Create components** - Add new components to ``main/components/``
4. **Build and test** - Use QEMU for testing without hardware

Documentation Roadmap
---------------------

🔵 **Requirements & Design** - Start here for system specifications and architecture decisions

🟢 **API Reference** - Component interfaces and function documentation

🟡 **Development Guides** - Tutorials for QEMU emulation, debugging, and development workflows

🟣 **Traceability** - Automatic coverage matrices and requirement-to-implementation mapping
