M1+M2 hardware bring-up: 3 fixes + elegant subsystem degradation
First flash to real hardware (Waveshare ESP32-P4-ETH on USB power, no LAN cable, no panel attached) exposed three bugs and the need to degrade gracefully when peripherals are missing. 1. net_eth.c: RXD0 / RXD1 GPIO swap. ESP32-P4's EMAC iomux table (components/soc/esp32p4/emac_periph.c) fixes RXD0 to GPIO 29 and RXD1 to GPIO 30. The Waveshare-wiki/ESPHome research had them transposed. Symptom was: E (esp.emac.gpio): invalid RXD0 GPIO number E (esp.emac): esp_eth_mac_new_esp32 failed -> ESP_ERROR_CHECK abort Fix: swap the two #defines. CRS_DV / TXD0 / TXD1 / TX_EN / REF_CLK pinout was already correct. 2. mdns_service.c: mdns_service_add() rejects with INVALID_ARG when the hostname isn't set yet (see mdns_responder.c:771 — first guard in mdns_service_add_for_host). We were setting hostname AFTER service_add inside apply_records(). Restructure mdns_service_start to: init -> hostname -> service_add -> txt. apply_hostname() and apply_txt() helpers reuse the same snapshot under viewport_state's mutex; mdns_service_refresh() re-applies both. 3. app_main.c: every subsystem now best-effort instead of ESP_ERROR_CHECK abort. A single missing peripheral can't take down the rest of the firmware. End-of-boot summary line: boot complete — subsystems [EMHdJ-B] ip=(no link) Uppercase letter = up, lowercase = down. E=Ethernet M=mDNS H=HTTP D=Display J=JPEG T=Touch B=BootButton. Touch shows '-' when display didn't come up (it shares the panel I2C bus). On a stripped board (just ESP32-P4-ETH on USB, no panel, no LAN) the line above prints and the device serves /state, /config, and mDNS over the loopback; plugging Ethernet in later picks up DHCP without a reboot. Side-effects: the DHCP timeout in app_main shortened from 30s to 15s so a no-cable boot finishes quickly. Reaching the "ready" state with no link is fine — the driver keeps the link-up event handler armed and gets the IP whenever a cable appears. Verified on hardware (bare ESP32-P4-ETH, no LAN, no panel): - ESP-IDF v5.4.1, esp32p4, 32 MB PSRAM detected, 16 MB flash config (actual 32 MB silkscreen — keeping 16 MB until access-beyond-16MB support lands in flash driver). - Ethernet driver started — MAC e8:f6:0a:e0:90:94. - mDNS up advertising viewport.local on _scrypted-viewport._tcp:80. - HTTP up listening :80. - JPEG decoder ready. - Display reports "panel MCU @0x45 unreachable" — exactly correct for no-panel state. - Touch skipped as designed. - BOOT button registered on GPIO 0 (still a guess; harmless if wrong). This is enough to flip M1's "code" status to ✅ on hardware once Ethernet is plugged in. M2 (mDNS browse + GET /state) ready to verify.
