Advice for IDE for an existing project

[rziegaus]

Hi,

I have developed a device with some sensors (temperature, humidity, brightness via I2C) and have written some source code with following features:

- measuring temperature, humidty, brightness and wind speed
- reporting these values via a REST-service to my server
- OTA-Update
- storing configuration (SSID, password) on the ESP32

I have developed this stuff with the arduino IDE an use some of the available libraries.

Now I'd like to use some advanced features of the ESP32 (flash encryption, possibly secure boot) and do not know which way to head.
Is there a possiblity to continue using the Arduino IDE or do I have to switch to IDF? If possible I'd like to stick with the Arduino IDE since I would have to find out how to implement the already existing features within IDF.
Or can I use the available Arudino libraries also in IDF?

Thanks a lot for your help,

Rudi

Howdy,
It isn't clear from your post whether you want to stick with the Arduino IDE and work in ESP-IDF or whether you want to use a different IDE (eg. Eclipse) and continue to work in Arduino APIs.

Howdy Kolban,

I'd like to stick with the Arduino IDE, but only because I can use all available Arduino-libraries. If it is possible to reuse these libraires (eg. TSL45315, HDC_1000, and some other 3rd party stuff) using IDF within Eclipse I'd be ready to switch over to Eclipse.

The question is: if I want to use Flash encryption and possibly Secure Boot - do I have the choice of using the Arduino-IDE? As far as I have understood I would need to go the IDF-path.

Hi,
I've tried to compile any of the esp-idf BLE examples using Eclipse. As there any working project?
The standard issue is the inability to find include files even I configured the BT in the configuration. I've set the paths but certain files are not found.
Has anyone a simple working Eclipse project?

Thanks,
Jörg
