Hi park_lemon,

your build has probably been completed successfully but flashing has failed because of a Python compatibility issue.

Could you please try to modify line no. 23 of tools/windows/eclipse_make.py by changing
to
i.e. adding ".decode()". Please let me know if this helps or not.

Hi,

Thank you very much for your reply and help.
May god bless you.

your help really good...it helps me a lot.

For those who face same problems like me.

You may refer to these following link:

2. https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... ingStarted

Just for sharing:
I takes almost 3 days just for installation and setting eclipse. Hope ESP32 can make their own IDE that are user friendly, easy to install, build, compile and debug. No need much setting. Make it simple for rapid development.

Thank you park_lemon for your feedback. I will include the fix in the following releases.

We are sorry that the setup of Eclipse took you so long. If you think that some parts of the description was misleading or incomplete then please consider raising an issue about it at https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/issues so we could improve it.

For future reference, commit 3c7954ea497649a4cd6520842151deb632bc4723 will fix this issue and will available in the master branch on Github with the next update. The fix will be backported to release branches.
