Welcome to AtomVM Daily, covering August 10th through August 17th, 2026.
This week's activity: one pull request, zero additional commits. A quiet week by volume, but a meaningful one for testing infrastructure.
The lead story is pull request 2387 from petermm, which brings the official Espressif ESP32 emulator into AtomVM's continuous integration setup, specifically for RISC-V variants. This is a build-and-test infrastructure story. Instead of relying on other emulation approaches, the project now uses Espressif's own…
Worth flagging: there's a known issue with SNTP, the network time protocol, inside the WiFi test suite. Rather than let this block the pipeline, it's been configured as an allowed failure for now. That's a pragmatic call — it lets the RISC-V emulator integration move forward without holding up other CI runs, while…
So what does this mean for developers working on AtomVM? If you're contributing changes that touch ESP32 RISC-V code paths, your pull requests will now be validated against the official emulator rather than a substitute. That should mean more accurate signal on whether your changes actually work on real RISC-V ESP32…
The dual licensing note on this change —…
