Hi,

You can take a look at those links:

Eclipse Plugin
VSCode ESP-IDF Extension

There are other options but not supported officially by Espressif.

Hope this will help you!

Hello,
I have read of the many config questions and issues surrounding both Eclipse and VS code.

I suggest Geany https://www.geany.org/.
Windows, Linux, Mac. I use Linux.

Full IDEs are more than I need. Geany lightwieght with little learning curve, is syntax aware, and allows multi-file search&replace.

I don't debug or single step in Geany. I don't know if it supports OCD.

So do you want a great code editor or a full IDE?

Here's some random fan site

Eclipse and VSCode are both very popular in general. I have both environments set up and both work. I prefer VSCode because I find it more readable and the GUI is better organized imho.

Pick one and by all means read and follow the installation instructions carefully and precisely. There are lots of YouTube videos for bith as well so plenty of resources for getting the install done
