Compiling rtos sdk idf project with CMake

[Deous]

I just installed Toolchain 1.0 and worked fine. When I installed the newest esp32 Toolchain 2.2 that includest newest Python - the idf.py would error on some missing paths and some other things with complex projects like f.ex. with protocols
Can you tell the steps of your toolchain installation in details ? Thanks

These are my notes;

Code: Select all

    Install Git For Windows
    Install Python 3.x (ESP-IDF makes a note that their may be issues with 3.x and to use 2.7)
    Install CMake For Windows
          When the installer asks for Install Options, select ‘Add CMake to the system PATH for the current user’.
    Download Ninja
          Extract the executable file to the bin folder within CMake.
          As CMake is now in the PATH environment variable, you won’t have to add another PATH.
    Download the Toolchain
              ESP-IDF             https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc8_2_0-esp-2019r2-win32.zip
              ESP8266             https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-lx106-elf-win32-1.22.0-100-ge567ec7-5.2.0.zip
         Create a folder called esp32 (or esp8266)
         Extract xtensa-esp32-elf (or xtensa-lx106-elf) folder into it.
    Download the SDK
         Open PowerShell and navigate to the esp32/esp8266 folder.
         Run 
             git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
             git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK.git
     The folder structure will look like this
               esp32                                    esp8266
                 |-- esp-idf                            |-- ESP8266_RTOS_SDK
                 └-- xtensa-esp32-elf                   └-- xtensa-lx106-elf
    Install the Python dependencies
            pip install -r "path\to\esp32\esp-idf\requirements.txt"


For ESP-IDF pre 4.0 and ESP RTOS SDK v3.x, you’ll need to supply a prebuilt binary called mconf-idf. Place the files in esp8266\ESP8266_RTOS_SDK\tools

Hey thanks for all the information)
Hopefully they will polish that SDK and make it super efficient

Windows 10 and Python 3.8 and idf. Tutuapp 9Apps ShowBox py works fine. I saw a reference to issues with ESP-IDF and Python 3.x on Espressif’s documents, but so far I haven’t had any issues.
What issues are you facing?

OK just to let anybody know - ESP8266_FREERTOS_SDK IDF style word counter can compile esp32 code
I tested it and works fine. No flash tool needed or Arduino hassle.
I tested esp-01 and esp8285 all works very nice and compiles with CMake
Just download sdk and new toolchain
Cheers

i agree, Fast, neat and useful!

I was able to use only toolchain 1.0 (Windows 10) with Python 2.7

I was facing the same issue, Just try to use another version of Python. https://www.googleplay-apk.com

Thanks. I finally downloaded both SDKs and Toolchains and configured VSCode. SO much better than PlatformIO (which uses ESP8266 RTOS 1.5). It's great being able to have code that can be (almost) reused on both chips.
The sooner Espressif roll BOTH ESP8266 and ESP32 into a single IDF, the better! run 3

Many thanks would you have a platformio project including libraries from where can i start that if I load it with visual code on my esp something runs? Too kind WhatsApp Plus

I hope they will polish that SDK and make it super efficient. By the way thanks for the information:
