mem_monitor/cp

# mem_monitor — Coprocessor

Subscribes the host to periodic heap / task-stat reports from the
coprocessor. The CP samples its own internal-DMA, internal-8bit,
external-DMA, and external-8bit heaps at a configurable interval and
pushes an event up; the host either logs every report or only the ones
that cross a low-water threshold. Useful for catching slow leaks or
sizing buffers without leaving instrumentation in the CP firmware.

## Supported Platforms and Transports

### Supported Coprocessors

| Coprocessor | ESP32 | ESP32-C Series | ESP32-S Series |
| :----------: | :---: | :------------: | :------------: |
| Support     | Yes   | Yes            | Yes            |

### Supported Host Devices

| Host Device | ESP32-P4 | ESP32-H2 | Other MCUs | Linux |
| :---------: | :------: | :------: | :--------: | :---: |
| Support     | Yes | Yes | [Yes](https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted/blob/master/docs/getting-started-mcu.md) | [Yes](https://github.com/espressif/esp-hosted/blob/master/docs/getting-started-linux.md) |

### Supported Connection buses

| Connection bus | SDIO | SPI Full-Duplex | SPI Half-Duplex | UART |
| :------------- | :--: | :-------------: | :-------------: | :--: |
| Linux host     | Yes  | Yes             | No              | No   |
| MCU host       | Yes  | Yes             | Yes             | Yes  |

The co-processor firmware needs no example-specific options — just select the transport:

```bash
cd examples/mem_monitor/cp
idf.py set-target esp32c6
idf.py menuconfig
```

```text
Component config
└── ESP-Hosted
     └── Configure coprocessor
          └── CP transport
               ├── Communication bus (co-processor <== bus ==> host)
               │    ├── ( ) SPI Full Duplex
               │    ├── (X) SDIO                    <── default
               │    ├── ( ) SPI Half Duplex         ← MCU host only
               │    └── ( ) UART                    ← MCU host only
               └── SDIO Configuration               ← clock, GPIOs, checksum (defaults OK)
```

Each bus has its own settings submenu (pins, clock, checksum) — defaults are fine for bring-up.

CP dependency config is **pre-set in `sdkconfig.defaults`** (do not remove):

```text
CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_WIFI=y                # Wi-Fi feature on the coprocessor (default)
CONFIG_BT_ENABLED=n                             # BT controller off — not needed here
CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_DEBUG=y               # parent debug feature (hosts mem-monitor)
CONFIG_ESP_HOSTED_CP_FEAT_DEBUG_MEM_MONITOR=y   # mem-monitor sub-feature — heap/task reports
```

Then flash and monitor:

```bash
idf.py -p <cp_usb_serial_port> flash monitor
```
