Problem using IDF master with MDF

[willemmerson]

I would like to use the most recent version of IDF inside MDF as it solves some bugs and adds some features. The version in MDF is pinned to something like IDF v3.3 which is quite old.
I updated the esp_idf submodule inside esp_mdf to master but get the following error:

Code: Select all

xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc: error: MDF_VER="f98206c-dirty": No such file or directory

Am I doing something wrong or is it just not compatible with newer IDF versions?

Hi willemmerson，

It seems that MDF has some compatible issues with the latest toolchain, so we suggest that you can use the version included by MDF (IDF3.2) for your test to get familiar with MDF.

Also we are using IDF3.2 for our internal QA test for MDF, and for the other version of IDF, as we don't have enough test yet, there may be other issues caused by the update of IDF.

Hi,

What I get is from IDF is v4.0-dev-1191-g138c941fa, is this stable yet?

No, this is a prerelease (development) version of IDF v4.0. The latest stable release is v3.2.2, and we're doing final testing for the v3.3 release.

Stable releases can be found here:
https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases

Information about versioning can be found here:

When using frameworks like MDF, it's best to use the ESP-IDF version which is bundled with MDF. In the case of the latest ESP-MDF master branch on GitHub, this is v3.2.x.
