I'm greatly interested in this talk, but I'm not sure I'll be able to
make it, so I really hope it is recorded. :-)

One question: have you managed to use the gcc-xtensa-lx106 compiler
that comes native with Debian for these boards?  Or only the
xtensa-esp32s2-elf / gcc8_4_0-esp* compiler builds from the
manufacturer?
