# Building and flashing 1. Make sure you've got all of the submodules in this repo correctly initialised: ``` git submodule update --init --recursive ``` 2. If this is your first time setting up the repo, then you will need to install the ESP-IDF tools. You can consult the [ESP-IDF docs](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/linux-macos-setup.html) for more detailed instructions, but the TL;DR is that you'll want to run something like this: ``` ./lib/esp-idf/install.sh esp32 ``` 3. As a final piece of setup, you will need to source the env file in this repo to correctly set up your environment for building. ``` . ./.env ``` There is also a `.env.fish` for fish users. 4. You can now build the project using `idf.py build`. Or to flash the project onto your board, something like: ``` idf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 -b 1000000 flash ``` (give or take the correct serial port) # Running tests (Note: tests are currently broken, and have been for a while. Sorry! IOU a working test suite by the time we ship devices :)) Tests are implemented as a separate application build, located in the `test` directory. We use Catch2 as our test framework. To run them, navigate to the test directory, then build and flash as normal. Connect to your device via UART, and you will be presented with a terminal prompt that you may run tests from. To add new tests to a components, you must: 1. Create a `test` subcomponent within that component. See `drivers/test` for an example of this. 2. Include the component in the test build and list of testable components, in `test/CMakeLists.txt`. # VSCode setup When using the Espressif IDF extension, you may want to set the following in your settings.json file: ``` "idf.espIdfPath": "${workspaceFolder}/lib/esp-idf", "idf.espIdfPathWin": "${workspaceFolder}/lib/esp-idf" ``` # LSP (clangd) setup A regular build will generate `build/compile_commands.json`, which clangd will automatically pick up. However, there are a couple of additional steps to get everything to play nicely. First, create a `.clangd` file in the this directory, with contents like: ``` CompileFlags: Add: [ -D__XTENSA__, --target=mipsel-linux-gnu, ] Remove: [ -fno-tree-switch-conversion, -mlongcalls, -fstrict-volatile-bitfields, ] ``` You may need to tweak the `target` flag until `clangd` is happy to build. If you get errors involving missing C++ includes, then you may need to edit your editor's LSP invocation to include `--query-driver=**`. You should then get proper LSP integration via clangd.
