I've noticed some Xtensa support appear in trunk. This is exiting news for me. Are there some plans/ideas in terms of linking to existing frameworks such as Espressif's SDKs or Ultibo?

I don't know about Ultibo, but the Espressif SDK is definitely planned.

Espressif SDK is work in progress and I got it it already working to a certain degree, actually. The main effort is currently spent into an xtensa-freertos target which is bascially using the Espressif SDK. Not everything is committed to trunk yet, but it will appear there step by step the next days.

That is good news!

Once FPC support for the Espressif SDK is done the Ultibo devs can try to port their code to the Xtensa as well if they want. That is their choice, not ours.

Thanks. I realise Ultibo is an independent project, I am just hoping for a full Pascal development stack.

How deep will freertos integration be tied to Espressif SDK? The arm target would also benefit a lot to have a proper interface to freertos

I don't know yet. I have no experience with FreeRTOS, so I have to learn by doing :)
