Build and Flash with Make
=========================

Finding a project
-----------------
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
As well as the `esp-idf-template <https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf-template>`_ project, ESP-IDF comes with some example projects on github in the :idf:`examples` directory.
Once you've found the project you want to work with, change to its directory and you can configure and build it.

Configuring your project
------------------------
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
::
make menuconfig
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
Compiling your project
----------------------
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
::
make all
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
... will compile app, bootloader and generate a partition table based on the config.
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
Flashing your project
---------------------
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
When ``make all`` finishes, it will print a command line to use esptool.py to flash the chip. However you can also do this from make by running::
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
make flash
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
This will flash the entire project (app, bootloader and partition table) to a new chip. The settings for serial port flashing can be configured with `make menuconfig`.
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
You don't need to run ``make all`` before running ``make flash``, ``make flash`` will automatically rebuild anything which needs it.
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
Compiling & Flashing Just the App
---------------------------------
After the initial flash, you may just want to build and flash just your app, not the bootloader and partition table:
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
* ``make app`` - build just the app.
* ``make app-flash`` - flash just the app.
``make app-flash`` will automatically rebuild the app if it needs it.
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
There's no downside to reflashing the bootloader and partition table each time, if they haven't changed.
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
The Partition Table
-------------------
Once you've compiled your project, the "build" directory will contain a binary file with a name like "my_app.bin". This is an ESP32 image binary that can be loaded by the bootloader.
2017-03-26 22:01:52 +00:00
A single ESP32's flash can contain multiple apps, as well as many kinds of data (calibration data, filesystems, parameter storage, etc). For this reason, a partition table is flashed to offset 0x8000 in the flash.
2016-10-25 19:28:21 +00:00
Each entry in the partition table has a name (label), type (app, data, or something else), subtype and the offset in flash where the partition is loaded.
The simplest way to use the partition table is to `make menuconfig` and choose one of the simple predefined partition tables:
* "Single factory app, no OTA"
* "Factory app, two OTA definitions"
In both cases the factory app is flashed at offset 0x10000. If you `make partition_table` then it will print a summary of the partition table.
