Eclipse with IDF or Espressif-IDE
I had Eclipse with ESP-IDF setup a few years ago using Kolban's youtube guides. I'm trying to get back into it but of course versions are newer so that guide doesn't apply 100% now. But now I see this Espressif-IDE. It doesn't seem to be officially backed by Espressif but is used by some. My question is should I work to get virgin Eclipse working with ESP-IDF or use Espressif-IDE?

Re: Eclipse with IDF or Espressif-IDE
Hello,
If you're a Windows user, prefer Espressif-IDE Windows Offline Installer https://github.com/espressif/idf-instal ... df-5.0.exe
This offers the step-by-step process of installing ESP-IDF, ESP-IDF Tools, Java, CMake, Espressif-IDE, drivers, etc.
If you're a macOS user, https://dl.espressif.com/dl/idf-eclipse ... v2.7.0.dmg
macOS installer is not an all-in-one installer so you need to install ESP-IDF, ESP-IDF Tools, and pre-requisites after installing IDE, please follow the installation steps from https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... requisites
You can find more details on our latest release here https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclips ... tag/v2.7.0
I hope that helps.
Espressif-IDE is an official IDE from Espressif Systems built on top of Eclipse CDT. If you're starting fresh, I would recommend the Espressif-IDE installerBut now I see this Espressif-IDE. It doesn't seem to be officially backed by Espressif but is used by some.

Re: Eclipse with IDF or Espressif-IDE
Yes this is reassuring. I also looked up your name and saw that you are an Espressif engineer, so that confirmed things.
Will Espressif be updating their how-to install page to also recommend the IDE? Thanks
