Note
Standard process for installing the toolchain is described :doc:`here <linux-setup>`. See :ref:`Customized Setup of Toolchain <get-started-customized-setup-legacy>` section for some of the reasons why installing the toolchain from scratch may be necessary.
To compile with ESP-IDF you need to get the following packages:
Ubuntu and Debian:
sudo apt-get install gcc git wget make libncurses-dev flex bison gperf python python-pip python-setuptools python-serial python-cryptography python-future python-pyparsing python-pyelftools libffi-dev libssl-dev
Arch:
sudo pacman -S --needed gcc git make ncurses flex bison gperf python-pyserial python-cryptography python-future python-pyparsing python-pyelftools
Note
Some older (pre-2014) Linux distributions may use pyserial
version 2.x which is not supported by ESP-IDF.
In this case please install a supported version via pip
as it is described in section
:ref:`get-started-get-packages-legacy`.
Install dependencies:
CentOS 7:
sudo yum install gawk gperf grep gettext ncurses-devel python python-devel automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool
Ubuntu pre-16.04:
sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool
Ubuntu 16.04 or newer:
sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin
Debian 9:
sudo apt-get install gawk gperf grep gettext libncurses-dev python python-dev automake bison flex texinfo help2man libtool libtool-bin
Arch:
TODO
Create the working directory and go into it:
mkdir -p ~/esp cd ~/esp
Download crosstool-NG
and build it:
.. include-build-file:: inc/scratch-build-code.inc
Build the toolchain:
./ct-ng xtensa-esp32-elf ./ct-ng build chmod -R u+w builds/xtensa-esp32-elf
Toolchain will be built in ~/esp/crosstool-NG/builds/xtensa-esp32-elf
. Follow :ref:`instructions for standard setup <setup-linux-toolchain-add-it-to-path-legacy>` to add the toolchain to your PATH
.
To carry on with development environment setup, proceed to section :ref:`get-started-get-esp-idf-legacy`.
