Standard Setup of Toolchain for Linux

This is documentation for the CMake-based build system which is currently in preview release. The documentation may have gaps, and you may encounter bugs (please report either of these). To view documentation for the older GNU Make based build system, switch versions to the 'latest' master branch or a stable release.

Install Prerequisites
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
|
|
|
|
- CentOS 7::
|
|
|
|
sudo yum install git wget ncurses-devel flex bison gperf python pyserial cmake ninja-build ccache
|
|
|
|
- Ubuntu and Debian::
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install git wget libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-serial cmake ninja-build ccache
|
|
|
|
- Arch::
|
|
|
|
sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python2-pyserial cmake ninja ccache
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
CMake version 3.5 or newer is required for use with ESP-IDF. Older Linux distributions may require updating, or enabling of a "backports" repository, or installing of a "cmake3" package not "cmake")
|
|
|
|
Toolchain Setup
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
ESP32 toolchain for Linux is available for download from Espressif website:
|
|
|
|
- for 64-bit Linux:
|
|
|
|
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
- for 32-bit Linux:
|
|
|
|
https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux32-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
1. Download this file, then extract it in ``~/esp`` directory::
|
|
|
|
mkdir -p ~/esp
|
|
cd ~/esp
|
|
tar -xzf ~/Downloads/xtensa-esp32-elf-linux64-1.22.0-80-g6c4433a-5.2.0.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
.. _setup-linux-toolchain-add-it-to-path:
|
|
|
|
2. The toolchain will be extracted into ``~/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/`` directory.
|
|
|
|
To use it, you will need to update your ``PATH`` environment variable in ``~/.profile`` file. To make ``xtensa-esp32-elf`` available for all terminal sessions, add the following line to your ``~/.profile`` file::
|
|
|
|
export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you may create an alias for the above command. This way you can get the toolchain only when you need it. To do this, add different line to your ``~/.profile`` file::
|
|
|
|
alias get_esp32='export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"'
|
|
|
|
Then when you need the toolchain you can type ``get_esp32`` on the command line and the toolchain will be added to your ``PATH``.
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
If you have ``/bin/bash`` set as login shell, and both ``.bash_profile`` and ``.profile`` exist, then update ``.bash_profile`` instead.
|
|
|
|
3. Log off and log in back to make the ``.profile`` changes effective. Run the following command to verify if ``PATH`` is correctly set::
|
|
|
|
printenv PATH
|
|
|
|
You are looking for similar result containing toolchain's path at the end of displayed string::
|
|
|
|
$ printenv PATH
|
|
/home/user-name/bin:/home/user-name/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/user-name/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin
|
|
|
|
Instead of ``/home/user-name`` there should be a home path specific to your installation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Permission issues /dev/ttyUSB0
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
With some Linux distributions you may get the ``Failed to open port /dev/ttyUSB0`` error message when flashing the ESP32. :ref:`This can be solved by adding the current user to the dialout group<linux-dialout-group>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arch Linux Users
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To run the precompiled gdb (xtensa-esp32-elf-gdb) in Arch Linux requires ncurses 5, but Arch uses ncurses 6.
|
|
|
|
Backwards compatibility libraries are available in AUR_ for native and lib32 configurations:
|
|
|
|
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ncurses5-compat-libs/
|
|
- https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/lib32-ncurses5-compat-libs/
|
|
|
|
Before installing these packages you might need to add the author's public key to your keyring as described in the "Comments" section at the links above.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, use crosstool-NG to compile a gdb that links against ncurses 6.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Next Steps
