 Here is a [discussion](https://github.com/HomeACcessoryKid/Arduino-HomeKit/issues/1) about the RTOS is required for running Apple HomeKit, and this project is a proof of concept that Apple HomeKit can be implemented and work fine without the RTOS.

 * Based on wolfssl-3.13.0-stable.
 * Clean source code: the unused files are removed.
 * `CURVE25519_SMALL` and `ED25519_SMALL`: ESP8266 can not directly run without `SMALL` defined since the memory is not sufficient. But the NO `SMALL` version is faster. I mark the big `ge_precomp base[32][8]` with PROGMEM to store it in Flash (around 70KB). Also the `ge_double_scalarmult_vartime` can not run caused by lack of heap. I define `ESP_GE_DOUBLE_SCALARMULT_VARTIME_LOWMEM` in `user_settings.h` to use LOWMEM version of `ge_double_scalarmult_vartime` in `ge_low_mem.c`. This is a trade-off of performance and memory. If you want more Flash space, you should define `CURVE25519_SMALL` and `ED25519_SMALL` and undefine `ESP_GE_DOUBLE_SCALARMULT_VARTIME_LOWMEM` in `user_settings.h`.
 * `integer.c`(big integer operations): `MP_16BIT` and `ESP_FORCE_S_MP_EXPTMOD` are defined for better performance in ESP8266. `ESP_INTEGER_WINSIZE` (value is 3) is defined to avoid crash caused by memory exhaust and the values of {3, 4, 5} are of similar performance (this will lead the Pair Verify Steps take 1.2s + 0.9s).
