Espressif provides a tool to simplify building your own compiled libraries for use in Arduino IDE (or your favorite IDE).
This tool can be used to change the project or a specific configuration according to your needs.
To install the Library Builder into your environment, please, follow the instructions below.
- Clone the ESP32 Arduino lib builder:
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder
- Go to the
esp32-arduino-lib-builder
folder:
cd esp32-arduino-lib-builder
- Build:
./build.sh
If everything works, you may see the following message: Successfully created esp32 image.
To build the library you will need to install some dependencies. Maybe you already have installed it, but it is a good idea to check before building.
- Install all dependencies (Ubuntu):
sudo apt-get install git wget curl libssl-dev libncurses-dev flex bison gperf cmake ninja-build ccache jq
- Install Python and upgrade pip:
sudo apt-get install python3
sudo pip install --upgrade pip
- Install all required packages:
pip install --user setuptools pyserial click cryptography future pyparsing pyelftools
If you have all the dependencies met, it is time to build the libraries.
To build using the default configuration:
./build.sh
There are some options to help you create custom libraries. You can use the following options:
build.sh [-s] [-A arduino_branch] [-I idf_branch] [-i idf_commit] [-c path] [-t <target>] [-b <build|menuconfig|idf_libs|copy_bootloader|mem_variant>] [config ...]
Skip installing/updating of ESP-IDF and all components
./build.sh -s
This option can be used if you already have the ESP-IDF and all components already in your environment.
Set which branch of arduino-esp32 to be used for compilation
./build.sh -A <arduino_branch>
Set which branch of ESP-IDF is to be used for compilation
./build.sh -I <idf_branch>
Set which commit of ESP-IDF to be used for compilation
./build.sh -i <idf_commit>
Deploy the build to github arduino-esp32
./build.sh -d
Set the arduino-esp32 folder to copy the result to. ex. '$HOME/Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32'
./build.sh -c <path>
This function is used to copy the compiled libraries to the Arduino folder.
Set the build target(chip). ex. 'esp32s3'
./build.sh -t <target>
This build command will build for the ESP32-S3 target. You can specify other targets.
- esp32
- esp32s2
- esp32c3
- esp32s3
Set the build type. ex. 'build' to build the project and prepare for uploading to a board.
Note
This command depends on the -t
argument.
./build.sh -t esp32 -b <build|menuconfig|idf_libs|copy_bootloader|mem_variant>
Specify additional configs to be applied. ex. 'qio 80m' to compile for QIO Flash@80MHz. Requires -b
Note
This command requires the -b
to work properly.
./build.sh -t esp32 -b idf_libs qio 80m
