Type error in modnetwork compiling firmware

Post by seluron » Wed Aug 28, 2019 10:47 pm

I am getting type error when compiling current firmware (git submodule update --init done on clone today). Am compiling for a generic board using defaults


Last lines from compiling are:

Would appreciate any help that can be provided.

I always had some troubles compiling the esp32 firmware so I wrote a script. And 2 days ago it still worked (you have to remove your esp-idf and micropython directories first and it stores everything in your home directory):

Code: Select all

#!/usr/bin/env bash
sudo apt-get install git wget libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-pip python-setuptools python-serial python-click python-cryptography python-future python-pyparsing python-pyelftools cmake ninja-build ccache
pip3 install pyserial pyparsing esptool rshell
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git
cd micropython
git submodule update --init
cd ports/esp32
hash=$(make | grep "Supported git hash:")
hash=${hash:20}
cd ~/
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
cd esp-idf
git checkout $hash
git submodule update --init
cd ..
mkdir esp
cd esp
wget https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz
tar -zxvf xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz
export PATH="$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:$PATH"
cd ..
cd micropython/ports/esp32
echo '''ESPIDF = $(HOME)'/esp-idf'
#PORT = /dev/ttyUSB0
#FLASH_MODE = qio
#FLASH_SIZE = 4MB
#CROSS_COMPILE = xtensa-esp32-elf-

include Makefile''' > makefile
cd ..
cd ..
git submodule update --init
make -C mpy-cross
cd ports/esp32
make PYTHON=python2 -j12
Sadly that is all the help I can give you.

Thank you - all is working well now.

Great script - really handy.

I think a botched the local esp-idf was the source of my earlier problem.

Again, thank you
