In project properties, it says "Edit the PATH environment variable. Keep the current value, and append the path to the Xtensa toolchain that will installed as part of IDF setup (something/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin) if this is not already listed on the PATH."

Of five of us here, not one of us knows what that means. Is it added comma separated? Is "something" the $PATH$?

  • It is added semicolon separated for Windows or colon separated for Linux
  • "something" means full path to "xtensa-esp32-elf/bin"

In my case the PATH for Linux looks as follows:

/bin:/home/krzysztof/bin:/home/krzysztof/.local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/krzysztof/esp/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin

Edit:
For Windows a typical PATH is provided in documentation.

Reopening as I think we can reword this section to be clearer.
