Hi mesmerizing!

Please have a look here : viewtopic.php?t=3251

You are using v5.3.1\tools, there are an issue with this version and the esp c model, same for me

The S2 and 3 model working fine.

To compile for the esp32-c3....

It is possible - although for some reason the FC batch file fails. Replace the batch esp32_build.bat file - see viewtopic.php?t=2966&hilit=esp32+batch using the code from the last message (C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\FCD\ESP\Batch\esp32_build.bat is the file to replace)

Note that you (might) need to change the COM port from COM6. Then use compile to hex to compile and upload your program... I'd probably save it to a new location first.

It's a workaround - and I can't see why the default batch file doesn't work - unless it's an issue with the prebuilt code that is used for every project (for speed)

@jgu1 witch one virsion is corret for C family?

[jgu1]

As medelec1 wrote does it look like 5.1

Martin worte:

"Hi Jorgen.
For people that installed 5.1 and above following the guide on the wiki some time ago, are the only people that the ESP C3 will work for.
Currently anyone who tries that now will face further issues due to the updates expressif have put in place.
Unfortunately, we have no control over that, so we are looking at a potential solution.
If you are one of those people and have not deleted the 5.1+ directory, hen you could have a chance in getting your C3 to work"

or you could follow mnfisher´s advice.

Yes - Jorgen is right - you do need to tread with a little care (take a backup of the file at least!)

You will need a version of the espressif tools that copes with the c3 - I've been using 5.3 for some time without many issues. I've just installed 5.4 too - so hopefully won't hit too many incompatibilities.

The batch file above - reverts to the 'original' method of compilation - uses a separate folder for each project. If you use different targets this is useful (or use espressif components). The speed up using a single folder is mainly on the first compilation - but if you change target this needs redoing anyways - and subsequent compilations are as fast in either case.

Hello everyone,
Dear mnfisher, how did you install 5.4 for ESP IDF? Can you give us some information about this?
Because after installing these versions, I get a lot of errors when I compile the project.

Can you show me a roadmap?

[mnfisher]

Note that I don't use the MatrixTSL scheme - I use my own batch file (as mentioned). So proceed carefully (if you have a working system then VERY carefully - backups are good)

I use the espressif installer (from https://dl.espressif.com/dl/esp-idf/?idf=4.4VScode) and I install the frameworks to their default location (so I have C:\Espressif\frameworks\esp-idf-v5.4.1 for example). Then when the download and install has completed - from the new framework directory run install.bat (I usually do this from a command line - but I think you can double click on it too) This 'should' run a fair few bits - with progress bars etc Then point FC at the new toolset and good to go - except for programs compiled with different version where you will need to either save to a new file or run idf.py fullclean)

There 'might' be a way to have multiple toolchains running at once (using python environments) - but I am not aware of one...

I see there is a new v5.5 available so I'll do a screen capture of installing it and post to youtube.

Martin

[mnfisher]

Recording it wasn't as easy as the tutorial videos make it look.....

Still - upgrade to v5.5 worked AOK - download - install - run install.bat - point FC at new toolchain - compile.

Hello, dear mnfisher.
Could you explain how you did this with screenshots?
