Update from 4.4 to 5.2 leads to linker errors

[N3xus132]

Hi all!

This is my first post in this forum and I hope that you are able to help me.

I inherited a project that uses IDF 4.4. Because of the maintenance period I now wanted to update the complete Project to the latest one (5.2.1).
I did this by downloading the IDF 5.2.1 to my Laptop and running the build. Of course many problems popped up so I solved one after the other. During this process it was necessary to manually go through the sdkconfig file because nearly none of the settings that were used were correctly translated or reused. It seems that most of them were set to the defaults.

Now I got stuck with the following error message:

Can somebody help me with this error?
Is there generally a more straightforward way to update the IDF?

Thanks in advance!

Strange. Do you still get this when you delete the 'build' directory and do a full rebuild?

[N3xus132]

Yes, unfortunately the problem still exists after a complete rebuild.

Did you finish update with

Code: Select all

git submodule update
and
./install.sh

[ESP_Sprite]

Can you share your sdkconfig file? EDIT: Also what ^^ said.

I made the update to the new IDF by installing the new version using VS Code. Nevertheless I went to the folder and ran the commands above. Unfortunately without success. The same error still shows up.

I attached the sdkconfig (as a txt to fulfill the requirements of the forum).

I also realized now that it seems to happen if I enable the option CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_RESERVE_RTC_SIZE in menuconfig.
Does it help somehow?

No ideas somebody?

I am fairly new to IDF and just migrated a project from IDF 4.4 to 5.2.
It also had many linking errors when the 4.4 project was opened in 5.2

My solution was to create a new project in IDF 5.2 using the template-app and copy over the source code.
It did have a few different #include errors, but the migration documents showed the old and new include name.

It looks like a bug to report on github
