ESP-IDF is a development environment for ESP32 processors to build larger projects
By default, an ESP-IDF project will utilize FreeRTOS to manage multiple components to build a system.
Hardware
All development boards utilize a "board on board" process The ESP32 board is mounted to a development board The ESP32 board has WiFi circuitry and external SPI Flash
FreeRTOS
Each "component" may create its own thread / task Priorities are used to define/manage what's important By default, heap memory is used to create a thread / task as well as its stack space
Logging System
A logging system is already implemented into each component, and is expected to be used to build the project. Message levels: * Verbose * Debug * Informational * Warning * Error
ESP-IDF Installation
Visual Studio Code works well, with an ESP-IDF extension, to setup, build, flash, monitor, and debug a project. https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/v4.4.3/esp32/get-started/vscode-setup.html I'll try to make this install as painless as possible, but many parts and steps are involved... * ESP-IDF from github - The latest release is 4.4.3, which is a bugfix patch. * Python - Used to script many features/functions * Visual Studio Code * Visual Studio Code Extension for ESP-IDF
