ESP32 Forum

Good Morning All
I recently purchased a ESP32-s3-box-3b
i have flashed the latest firmware
i am able to download apps from launchpad
i have completed the installation of esp-idf in vscode
i followed the instructions in Development Guide.md at https://github.com/espressif/esp-box/bl ... t_guide.md

this is the log output in the ESP-IDF Terminal when run in the project folder
idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB1 flash monitor

I am new to ESP32-s3-box-3b development and wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction to solve this error

You need to set the compilation target

Thanks for that i see my sdkconfig.defaults now says CONFIG_IDF_TARGET="esp32s3"
CONFIG_IDF_TARGET_ESP32S3=y i usually look at my linux environment variables with "printenv". I did that inside the ESP-IDF terminal and saw IDF_TARGET=esp32. I will edit that manually to esp32s3 and see what happens.

Thanks
export IDF_TARGET=esp32s3
source ~/.bashrc

did the trick
