Installing and setting up of ESP32 toolchain

[jandidden]

Well, I don't know what's going on, but I get this now from FC10:

Using FCD settings for compiler
Launching the compiler...
C:\ProgramData\MatrixTSL\FlowcodeV10\FCD\ESP\Batch\esp32_build.bat "C:\Espressif\frameworks\esp-idf-v5.0.1\" "fc10 test" "C:\Users\jandi\" esp32s_sdkconfig
You do not have a valid licence to perform this action

I just paid for the professional version and updated the license, which is accepted, but then I get this, every time.

Hi Jan,
I have sent you a pm regarding this.

[jandidden]

And the beat goes on ...

I did the following:

1. Uninstall all ESP related apps from the Windows Setup menu, including GIT, Python and Python installer.
2. Manually delete any folder/file remaining that I could find.
3. Restart and verify all is uninstalled/deleted.
4. Run CCleaner which detected a whole bunch of orphan registry entries related to ESP; fixed that.
5. Restart and verify with CCleaner; no registry issues found.
6. Download ESP-IDF install procedure from MatrixTSL site.
7. Cannot install ESP-IDF 4.1 as the lowest available version is V4.2. Selected that version.
8. Install in C:\esp-idf
9. Install esp-idf tools in C:\esp-idf-tools (note: these are regular hypens, not underscores, as shown in the procedure).
10. After install completes, did not run ESP-IDF Command Prompt.
11. Run FC9, in Global Settings|Locations|ESP set to C:\ESP-IDF
12. Close and reopen FC9, check Location setting, OK.
13. Open test chart wroom located in c:\Users\jandi\ , processor wroom-32.
14. Compile to hex failed with:

idf.py build

Build Failed

15. Checked that both C:\Users\jandi\wroom and C:\Users\jandi\wroom\build folders do exist.
The latter does contain the build.ninja but that is too large to attach though.

Any idea where to look for next?

Hi Jan,

There is still something wrong - did you change the address in FC (Cconfiguration-locations) - as it is still using c:\espressif not c:\esp-idf.
Also - the build seems to be using the wrong directory (the 'build' on the end is probably wrong) (Might be worth checking windows environment variables and seeing if something 'remains' - windows key = type environment, choose 'edit environment variables...')

We'll get there - it may take us a little time

So a couple of things to check:

0) Location of esp tools in FC
1) Open a cmd prompt (Windows key - cmd) - and navigate to the esp directory (cd c:\esp-idf) and then type install<enter> (it should chunder through some stuff - hopefully all already there)
2) cd to your project folder (so say you save the project to C:\ as 'test.fcfx' - this would be c:\test - and you'd need cd c:\test)
3) Type c:\esp-idf\export
4) type idf.py build

This 'should' build the program - and show that the tools are installed correctly....

5) Check the config in FC if all is good...

Yes, location in FC still set to C:\esp-idf
Checked environment variables, there's a C:\ESP-IDF-TOOLS ; don't see ESP-IDF on itself here.

Did notice a system variable "C:\Users\jandi\AppData\Roaming\Python\cripts' seems a typo, no idea of the possible impact. Left it at that.

Install of esp-idf ran successfully. Export ran successfully as well.
idf.py build gives the same error I see before: ninja failed. See attached.
The folder ....jandi\wroom\build does exists and has the bootloader and CMakeFiles and config etc subfolders.

Jan

[jandidden]

Here's the ninja log file.

Edit: not sure this is the latest - it has references to esp-idf v4.4.4 while I installed V4.2.x

Another try.

At the command prompt (as before)
Idf.py fullclean
Delete the project\build directory if this fails

Try build again

What do you have in the project\main directory?

[jandidden]

Clean works.
I now have again the CMake error I had before.
In the main dir [C:\Users\jandi\wroom\main] I have:
CMakeLists, component.mk, esp-project.c .

Approppriate (I think) build log:

Can you compile with v5 ?

I've tried 'downgrading' to v4.1 and struggled to get it to work correctly (or indeed at all)
See viewtopic.php?p=9222#p9222

Martin

[mnfisher]

Just managed to 'downgrade' successfully to v4.n

Follow the instructions in Ben's message at viewtopic.php?p=9222#p9222 - before doing the commands cd c:\esp-idf (install directory for v4 esp-idf)
Do each command in turn - some don't seem to complete successfully - but continue.

Then cd project-directory
export
idf.py fullclean
idf.py build

Keep fingers crossed at all times.
