Hello all!
could someone please describe what needs for compile firmware for windows?
which soft should be install?
thanx!
Introduction
Windows doesn’t have a built-in “make” environment, so you will need a GNU-compatible environment.
Espressif uses the MSYS2 environment to provide this.
You don’t need to use this environment all the time (you can use Eclipse or some other front-end), but it runs behind the scenes.
Toolchain Setup
Download the Windows all-in-one toolchain & MSYS2 zip file from dl.espressif.com:
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp32_win32 ... 180110.zip
Unzip the zip file to C:\ (or some other location, but this guide assumes C:\) and it will create an msys32 directory with a pre-prepared environment.
Check it Out
Open a MSYS2 MINGW32 terminal window by running C:\msys32\mingw32.exe.
The environment in this window is a bash shell.
Use this window in the following steps setting up development environment for ESP32 MicroPython.
Setup MicroPython build environment
In open
mingw32 window run the folowing commands:
- Clone the repository:
Code: Select all
git clone https://github.com/loboris/MicroPython_ESP32_psRAM_LoBo.git
- Change the working directory to MicroPython_ESP32_psRAM_LoBo/MicroPython_BUILD
Code: Select all
cd MicroPython_ESP32_psRAM_LoBo
cd MicroPython_BUILD
- First you must run menuconfig to create the default sdkconfig configuration file
On first run esp-idf and toolchain wil be unpacked.
On windows you may get false error unpacking 'esp-idf' FAILED.
Just run ./BUILD.sh menuconfig again, the toolchain will be unpacked successfully.
In menuconfig change the com port to windows COMx which is used to comunicate with your ESP32 board.
→ Serial flasher config → Default serial port
You don't need to change anything else to build the default firmware. Later, you may want to configure the MicroPython build to better suit your needs.
- Builld your MicroPython firmware:
- and flash it to your ESP32 board:
- You may now connect to you board, run:
or use some other serial terminal program, like Putty, to connect to the board.
You can also consult the
Build Wiki to learn about more build options.
If you are using
Windows 10, you can also install
Windows Subsystem for Linux and build the same way as on Linux.
To enable serial port support on the Windows Subsystem for Linux read
this.
The instructions under
Setup MicroPython build environment are the same.
