Menuconfig options for ESP32 Arduino

mikemoy · April 2, 2018, 5:40am

For the ESP32 we need to run make menuconfig. For ESP32 IDF i know how to do this but with PlatformIO and using Arduino, how do we make changes in menuconfig. For instance, how can we enable PSRAM, and change other settings there ?

I can make changes in menuconfig with the help of this tutorial. I want to use latest esp-idf version. Is there a way to use the latest esp-idf version with platformio?

I was looking for a way compiling for Arduino projects. But to answer you question, I posted a video how to get Microsoft Visual Studio working with ESP-IDF. Of all the other ways I have tried this, this one is by far the best (IMHO). and will let you use the latest ESP-idf.

I changed some things, but the credit goes to This Chap

PlantformIO, do you have anything to comment about this topic?

dr63 · May 5, 2018, 2:37pm

Same here.
In ESP-IDF env, menuconfig is able to setup for example secure boot or encryption :
#
# Security features
#
CONFIG_SECURE_BOOT_ENABLED=
CONFIG_FLASH_ENCRYPTION_ENABLED=

In the documentation of PlatformIO, Espressif 32 ([Espressif 32 — PlatformIO latest documentation]), we can adjust only some parameters : upload, OTA, partition

Is it possible to access from PlatformIO to all parameters present in menuconfig ?
Or can we use menuconfig of ESP-IDF with a platformIO Arduino Project ? How ?

Thanks for help.

PlantformIO, why are you so quite on this topic. How can we use the device fully if we cannot make changes to Menuconfig?

How can we use the ESP32-WROVER to enable the external RAM without using Menuconfig ?

I would also like to use menuconfig within platformio.

I also want to understand how to use menuconfig

Arduino as ESP-IDF component

feature Arduino ESP-IDF

Hi, Copying issue from https://community.platformio.org/t/arduino-h-not-found-e…sp32-with-esp-idf-framework/1257 to platform-espressif32. Currently I am building for ESP32 using PlatformIO + Atom with the ESP-IDF Framework. The Platform.ini file details are as below: [env:esp32dev] platform = espressif32 framework = espidf board = esp32dev According to the docs https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp3217 (section: Using as ESP-IDF component) the ESP-IDF Framework can have Arduino as component (and this works with ESP-IDF using make flash). Trying the same with PlatformIO, but compiler throws an error that Arduino.h cannot be found. Is this an issue or do I need to make some changes which I am not aware of? hope somebody can help here. ------------- Log Start ----------------- Processing esp32dev (platform: espressif32; lib_ldf_mode: deep; board: esp32dev; framework: espidf) Verbose mode can be enabled via `-v, --verbose` option Collected 0 compatible libraries Looking for dependencies...

Adding ability to include arduino-esp32 as component for espidf builds

fixes #24. By adding the following to the sdkconfig.h in the project using fr…amework=espidf the framework-arduinoesp32 code is automatically included/compiled. ``` #define ENABLE_ARDUINO_DEPENDS 1 ``` The default configuration is to require the application to define app_main as per usual with ESPIDF and call to arduinoInit(). By adding the following: ``` #define CONFIG_AUTOSTART_ARDUINO 1 ``` the arduino-esp32 app_main will instead be used and the application can instead use setup()/loop() which are more common in arduino applications.

If you want to change any specific option by running make menuconfig, you can currently edit sdkconfig.h instead.

atanisoft · February 12, 2019, 3:06pm

Editing sdkconfig.h does nothing for the arduino-esp32 based projects, the ESP-IDF code is pre-compiled and can not be changed simply by editing the sdkconfig.h included within arduino-esp32. The only way to support this will be arduino as an idf component which is what the PR referenced above that I submitted is for.

Oh, ok. Point taken, thanks!

The PS-RAM problem is solved by a flag you have to put it in platform.ini
build_flags = -DBOARD_HAS_PSRAM

Please help,

In platforio , the framework is arduino , how can i appear menuconfig.
Please
