############################## Arduino as a ESP-IDF component ############################## ESP32 Arduino lib-builder ------------------------- For a simplified method, see `lib-builder `_. Installation ------------ - Download and install `ESP-IDF `_. - Create blank idf project (from one of the examples). - In the project folder, create a new folder called `components` and clone this repository inside the new created folder. .. code-block:: bash mkdir -p components && \ cd components && \ git clone https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32.git arduino && \ cd arduino && \ git submodule update --init --recursive && \ cd ../.. && \ idf.py menuconfig - The `idf.py menuconfig` has some Arduino options. - On `Autostart Arduino setup and loop on boot`. - If you enable these options, your main.cpp should be formated like any other sketch. .. code-block:: c //file: main.cpp #include "Arduino.h" void setup(){ Serial.begin(115200); } void loop(){ Serial.println("loop"); delay(1000); } - Otherwise, you need to implement ```app_main()``` and call ```initArduino();``` in it. Keep in mind that setup() and loop() will not be called in this case. If you plan to base your code on examples provided in `examples `_, please make sure to move the app_main() function in main.cpp from the files in the example. .. code-block:: cpp //file: main.cpp #include "Arduino.h" extern "C" void app_main() { initArduino(); pinMode(4, OUTPUT); digitalWrite(4, HIGH); //do your own thing } - "Disable mutex locks for HAL" - If enabled, there will be no protection on the drivers from concurently accessing them from another thread/interrupt/core - "Autoconnect WiFi on boot" - If enabled, WiFi will start with the last known configuration - Otherwise it will wait for WiFi.begin - ```idf.py -p flash monitor``` will build, upload and open serial monitor to your board Logging To Serial ----------------- If you are writing code that does not require Arduino to compile and you want your `ESP_LOGx` macros to work in Arduino IDE, you can enable the compatibility by adding the following lines after: .. code-block:: c #ifdef ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32 #include "esp32-hal-log.h" #endif FreeRTOS Tick Rate (Hz) ----------------------- You might notice that Arduino-esp32's `delay()` function will only work in multiples of 10ms. That is because, by default, esp-idf handles task events 100 times per second. To fix that behavior, you need to set FreeRTOS tick rate to 1000Hz in `make menuconfig` -> `Component config` -> `FreeRTOS` -> `Tick rate`. Compilation Errors ------------------ As commits are made to esp-idf and submodules, the codebases can develop incompatibilities which cause compilation errors. If you have problems compiling, follow the instructions in `Issue #1142 `_ to roll esp-idf back to a different version.
