Hello,
I installed the esp32 idf on a Windows10 PC as first time user and tried the "hello world" project. I did everything (hopefully) described in the "Get Startet"- pages on docs.espressif.com.
When I do the "make flash" I get the following errors:

Code: Select all

$ make flash
Python requirements from C:/msys32/home/Bettina/esp/esp-idf/requirements.txt are satisfied.
Flashing binaries to serial port /dev/ttyS4 (app at offset 0x10000 )...

Thank you very much for help !

friendly regards

You have to use command

Code: Select all

make menuconfig

and change flashing port to comX, whatever port your board is connected to, or use command

Code: Select all

make flash ESPPORT=com5

again, com5 is just example
