Okay let me start by saying how much I love the ESP32. It's a 32-bit dual core SoC with wifi and bluetooth for less than $10, what's not to love?

But... Espressif, come on. You made a great piece of hardware, and I want to unlock all of its fancy features.

I ditched the Arduino framework and started coding directly against the ESP-IDF (the dev framework Espressif made specifically for the ESP32)

All is good, woo! I have access to the full STL, to filesystem mount points, to the humble printf() - all the things I couldn't get under Arduino.

Except...

The SPI bus drivers for the ESP-IDF seem to be absolute *garbage*. I've written ESP32 based drivers for an ILI9341 display adapter for both ESP-IDF and the Arduino framework, and the Arduino one runs at 40MHz and I can only top the other one out at 26MHz! Furthermore, with the ESP32 SPI drivers there seem to be timing issues. Until my good logic analyzer gets here I can't know for sure, but it looks like the SCLK line is lagging behind the data lines by half a tick. For this or some other reason I cannot get the ESP-IDF to talk to e-paper/e-ink displays at all.

Why go through all this effort to make a framework for your hardware, and then botch the SPI implementation for it, all the while making a *good* implementation of it for someone else's (Arduino) framework?!

What the heck am I missing?
