Hoooooorrraaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Thank you David and Jimmo.
As you can tell, I'm absolutely over the moooooooon.

That was a 'standard build'.

Now to progress on to the build with CAM modules.

BUT

Only after I have written this up with the audience of a tyro.

Thank you again

Robin

I can compile esp32 micropython firmware V4 using a raspberry pi 4.

This was tested with a recent buster full install.
Additional dependency required: libffi-dev

This script creates directories ~/myesp32build and ~/.espressif

Code: Select all

## directory to contain the build
#
mkdir ~/myesp32build
cd ~/myesp32build

##create venv environment for build
#
python3 -m venv build-venv-p3

#
## get idf sources and checkout at 4.1 checkpoint
## see https://github.com/micropython/micropython/blob/master/ports/esp32/Makefile 
#
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git

cd ~/myesp32build/esp-idf
git checkout 4c81978a3e2220674a432a588292a4c860eef27b #v4 esp idf compatible with micropython

#
## clone espidf submodules
#
git submodule update --recursive --init


## install latest build toolchain for armel from espressiv download site
#
cd ~/myesp32build/esp-idf/
./install.sh

#
## get micropython + deps
#
cd ~/myesp32build
git clone --recursive https://github.com/micropython/micropython.git
git clone --recursive https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib.git
cd ~/myesp32build/micropython
git submodule update --init --recursive
cd ~/myesp32build/micropython-lib
git submodule update --init --recursive
