espressif32 5.2.0 6.0.1 6.0.1 Platform esp32dev

The esp-idf most current is 5.2. Where does the 6.01 come from ?

Thank you.

The output doesn’t say anything about ESP-IDF. The displayed versions are that of platform-espressif32, i.e. the PlatformIO integration for Espressif 32 chips.

Hence, this versioning scheme is completely unrelated and independent to ESP-IDF. platform-espressif32 6.0.1 uses ESP-IDF v5.0, as can be read in the release notes.

This topic has already been discussed multiple times before in this forum.

Ok, now I understand. Thank you.
