###############################
Arduino as an ESP-IDF component
###############################
This method is recommended for advanced users. To use this method, you will need to have the ESP-IDF toolchain installed.
For a simplified method, see `Installing using Boards Manager <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/installing.html#installing-using-boards-manager>`_.
ESP32 Arduino lib-builder
-------------------------
If you don't need any modifications in the default Arduino ESP32 core, we recommend you to install using the Boards Manager.
Arduino Lib Builder is the tool that integrates ESP-IDF into Arduino. It allows you to customize the default settings used by Espressif and try them in Arduino IDE.
For more information see `Arduino lib builder <https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder>`_
Installation
------------
.. note:: Latest Arduino Core ESP32 version is now compatible with `ESP-IDF v4.4 <https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/tree/release/v4.4>`_. Please consider this compatibility when using Arduino as a component in ESP-IDF.
#. Download and install `ESP-IDF <https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf>`_.
* For more information see `Get Started <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/get-started/index.html#installation-step-by-step>`_.
#. Create a blank ESP-IDF project (use sample_project from /examples/get-started) or choose one of the examples.
#. In the project folder, create a new folder called ``components`` and clone this repository inside the newly 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
.. note:: If you use Arduino with ESP-IDF often, you can place the arduino folder into global components folder.
If you're targeting the ESP32-S2 or ESP32-S3 and you want to use USBHID classes such as ``USBHID``, ``USBHIDConsumerControl``, ``USBHIDGamepad``, ``USBHIDKeyboard``, ``USBHIDMouse``, ``USBHIDSystemControl``, or ``USBHIDVendor``:
1. Clone these nested repos somewhere:
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder.git esp32-arduino-lib-builder && \
git clone https://github.com/hathach/tinyusb.git esp32-arduino-lib-builder/components/arduino_tinyusb/tinyusb
2. In the project folder, edit ``CMakeLists.txt`` and add the following before the ``project()`` line:
.. code-block:: bash
set(EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS <path to esp32-arduino-lib-builder/components/arduino_tinyusb>)
Configuration
-------------
Depending on one of the two following options, in the menuconfig set the appropriate settings.
Go to the section ``Arduino Configuration --->``
1. For usage of ``app_main()`` function - Turn off ``Autostart Arduino setup and loop on boot``
2. For usage of ``setup()`` and ``loop()`` functions - Turn on ``Autostart Arduino setup and loop on boot``
Experienced users can explore other options in the Arduino section.
After the setup you can save and exit:
- Save [S]
- Confirm default filename [Enter]
- Close confirmation window [Enter] or [Space] or [Esc]
- Quit [Q]
Option 1. Using Arduino setup() and loop()
******************************************
- In main folder rename file `main.c` to `main.cpp`.
- In main folder open file `CMakeList.txt` and change `main.c` to `main.cpp` as described below.
- Your main.cpp should be formatted like any other sketch.
.. code-block:: c
//file: main.cpp
#include "Arduino.h"
void setup(){
Serial.begin(115200);
while(!Serial){
; // wait for serial port to connect
}
}
void loop(){
Serial.println("loop");
delay(1000);
}
Option 2. Using ESP-IDF appmain()
*********************************
In main.c or main.cpp 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.
Furthermore the ``app_main()`` is single execution as a normal function so if you need an infinite loop as in Arduino place it there.
.. code-block:: cpp
//file: main.c or main.cpp
#include "Arduino.h"
extern "C" void app_main()
{
initArduino();
// Arduino-like setup()
Serial.begin(115200);
while(!Serial){
; // wait for serial port to connect
}
// Arduino-like loop()
while(true){
Serial.println("loop");
}
// WARNING: if program reaches end of function app_main() the MCU will restart.
}
Build, flash and monitor
************************
- For both options use command ``idf.py -p <your-board-serial-port> flash monitor``
- The project will build, upload and open the serial monitor to your board
- Some boards require button combo press on the board: press-and-hold Boot button + press-and-release RST button, release Boot button
- After a successful flash, you may need to press the RST button again
- To terminate the serial monitor press [Ctrl] + [ ] ]
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:
.. code-block:: c
#ifdef ARDUINO_ARCH_ESP32
#include "esp32-hal-log.h"
#endif
FreeRTOS Tick Rate (Hz)
-----------------------
The Arduino component requires the FreeRTOS tick rate `CONFIG_FREERTOS_HZ` set 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 that cause compilation errors. If you have problems compiling, follow the instructions in `Issue #1142 <https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/1142>`_ to roll esp-idf back to a different version.
Adding arduino library
----------------------
There are few approaches:
1. Add global library to ``components/arduino-esp32/libraries/new_library``
2. Add local project library to ``examples/your_project/main/libraries/new_library``
1 Adding global library
***********************
Download the library:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/esp/esp-idf/components/arduino-esp32/
git clone --recursive git@github.com:Author/new_library.git libraries/new_library
Edit file ``components/arduino-esp32/CMakeLists.txt``
Get the source file list with shell command:
.. code-block:: bash
find libraries/new_library/src/ -name '*.c' -o -name '*.cpp'
libraries/new_library/src/new_library.cpp
libraries/new_library/src/new_library_extra_file.c
Locate block which starts with ``set(LIBRARY_SRCS`` and copy the list there. Now it should look something like this:
.. code-block:: bash
set(LIBRARY_SRCS
libraries/ArduinoOTA/src/ArduinoOTA.cpp
libraries/AsyncUDP/src/AsyncUDP.cpp
libraries/new_library/src/new_library.cpp
libraries/new_library/src/new_library_extra_file.c
After this add the library path to block which starts with ``set(includedirs``. It should look like this:
.. code-block:: bash
set(includedirs
variants/${CONFIG_ARDUINO_VARIANT}/
cores/esp32/
libraries/ArduinoOTA/src
libraries/AsyncUDP/src
libraries/new_library/src
2 Adding local library
**********************
Download the library:
.. code-block:: bash
cd ~/esp/esp-idf/examples/your_project
mkdir components
git clone --recursive git@github.com:Author/new_library.git components/new_library
Create new CMakeists.txt in the library folder: ``components/new_library/CMakeLists.txt``
.. code-block:: bash
idf_component_register(SRCS "new_library.cpp" "another_source.c"
INCLUDE_DIRS "."
REQUIRES arduino-esp32
)
You can read more about CMakeLists in the IDF documentation regarding the `Build System <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/build-system.html>`_
Tip
---
If you want to use arduino-esp32 both as an ESP-IDF component and with Arduino IDE you can simply create a symlink:
.. code-block:: bash
ln -s ~/Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32 ~/esp/esp-idf/components/arduino-esp32
This will allow you to install new libraries as usual with Arduino IDE. To use them with IDF component, use ``add_lib.sh -e ~/Arduino/libraries/New_lib``
