ESP32 Forum

Problem: I have code which runs on many platforms, e.g. Linux and some uControllers. I need a preprocessor symbol can I use to detect that I am compiling for ESP32 under the esp-idf. (This must not come from a ESP32 header file because I need the symbol to detect whether the ESP32 headers are available at all.)

I looked at the output of "xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc -dM -E - < /dev/null" and I figured out I can use:
#ifdef __XTENSA__
...
#endif

This works for me.

The remaining question is: Is there a standard convention when compiling for ESP32?

We use ESP_PLATFORM when we need to detect that compilation happens in IDF environment.

Many thanks, this works. I was not aware of this good documentation source on ESP32! I like that. There is no (obvious) link to it from the espressif.com site!
