1. Question I'm trying to fully understand the firmware flash procedure - both hard- and software - on ESP32 boards such as the ESP 32 PICO KIT . Instead of asking an open question, I've studied the subject first and will make an in-depth comparison of the ESP32 vs Arduino board firmware flash proc...

Hi @ESP_Sprite, I had a reply on my forum post here: https://forum.embeetle.com/t/comparing-arduino-ide-and-esp-idf-build-systems/455/2 Comparing the Arduino-generated archive file with the ones from ESP-IDF, it looks like the Arduino archive file `libmbedtls.a` is essentially a combination of: - `~...

Thank you @ESP_Sprite Your colleague Ivan Grokhotkov is the one who took care of the Arduino support for ESP microcontrollers. I'm trying to contact him, but was unsuccessful so far. Perhaps he is very busy at the moment, or maybe he's on holiday. If he's unavailable, do you perhaps know other colle...

Thank you very much @ESP_Sprite. Thanks to your explanation and also the help of my colleague, I now understand why the same archive file is being passed multiple times to the linker. Unfortunately, I'm still struggling to understand why there are several different archive files with the same name. ...

1. Context I'm co-founder of a startup building a new IDE for microcontrollers: Embeetle IDE. We would like to support the ESP32 family in our IDE, so I'm figuring out the ESP32 build system. While figuring out the build system, I currently focus on how the ESP-IDF tool builds projects, and how Ard...

Thank you @ESP_Sprite and @Ibernstone for the link and the useful information. First I'd like to support the Arduino-based ESP32 projects in our Embeetle IDE. I've more knowledge about Arduino IDE than Platform IO, as I've built an importer for Arduino projects some time ago (this importer transform...

I'm co-founder of a startup building a new IDE for microcontrollers: Embeetle IDE. We would like to support the ESP32 microcontroller family in our IDE. Unfortunately, I'm running into a problem. To create a first ESP32-based sample project for our IDE, I was observing the build-output at maximal ve...
