ESP-IDF V5

[gojimmypi]

The toolchain offline installer for ESP-IDF v5 is now a release as well:

https://github.com/espressif/idf-installer/releases/tag/online-2.17

(That’s a valid URL, even though it ends up as 404 when clicking on it; try to open manually with cut and paste. Seems the link seen here is somehow missing the “online” word)

Thanks, we have tested the new toolchain together with the ESP-IDF 5.0 and confirm that the basic projects work for the ESP32, ESP32C3, ESP32C3, ESP32S2, ESP32C3 and ESP32H2 devices. We have also retested semihosting (regular ESP32 device only) and adjusted our unit test integration to be compatible with the latest ESP-IDF.

You can download the updated toolchain installer here: https://gnutoolchains.com/esp32/

Please note that ESP-IDF 5.0 uses its own system to manage virtual Python environments, so you would need the following VisualGDB build to use it automatically:  VisualGDB-5.6.109.4769.msi

We will run a few further tests and will release an official VisualGDB 5.6R9 with full ESP-IDF 5.0 support in the next few days.

With the latest toolchain and the experimental VisualGDB build I am getting a warning:

WARNING: ULP assembler version 2.28.51 is not supported. Expected to see
version: 2.35_20220830.

followed by an error:

esp32ulp-elf-as: unrecognized option `–mcpu=esp32′

[johnc]

A quick follow-up: upgraded the ULP assembler manually from the esp-idf distro to 2.35 and all is well now. Apparently this part was overlooked when building the latest toolchain and should be easily fixed.

[support]

Thanks, we have fixed it and released an updated toolchain (esp32-gcc11.2.0-r2.exe).

[gojimmypi]

The latest v5 install was a rather bumpy. I ran the esp32-gcc11.2.0-r2.exe noted above.

My existing project with ESP 4.4.2 seemed to have “forgotten” which toolchain version to use. Only the new v5 was visible in Visual Studio. Fortunately that toolchain was not (initially) deleted, but upon re-launching and selecting the existing 4.4.2 I received a message about needing to install the v5 toolchain that I just downloaded and installed manually. The new toolchain did not appear as an option to download from within Visual Studio.

Letting the Visual Studio “resolve” finish, and unfortunately it *did* wipe all but v4.4.1 in C:\SysGCC\esp32\esp-idf.  I have no idea why that one was left, which of course I rarely use. Erg, I wish I had backed up that directory.  I had several toolchains there, including non-Espressif components installed that I would have really preferred not to have deleted.

The re-install was not very intuitive and of course tool a very long time with large downloads and re-installs.

I just notice after all of that in my prior message: upon installing the v4.4.2 toolchain, the v5 that I just installed ended up getting deleted.

So I guess there’s no option at this time to have v4.x and v5.x installed side-by-side?

I need an environment were I can test with several toolchain versions.

Thank you

Hi,

You can install both toolchains side-by-side, as long as you use the “online” view in the VisualGDB Package Manager and manually specify a different directory (or just download and run the installer manually). The “update” view is intended for replacing the older toolchains, and will indeed overwrite it.

For convenience, you can always select to ignore a specific update, so VisualGDB won’t suggest it anymore.

Regarding the IDF versions, it sounds like you had experimented with manually installing extra ESP-IDF checkouts into your toolchain, and they got removed when VisualGDB uninstalled the old toolchain during the update process. This is to be expected, as mixing the parts from the old and new toolchain could result in very weird bugs.

In general, if you are playing around with multiple ESP32 toolchain and IDF checkouts, we urge you to keep good notes of the toolchain and IDF versions that work together and double-checking them when you clone the IDF releases manually. Accidentally combining unsupported versions often leads to strange errors.

[gojimmypi]

Hi & thanks for your reply.

First: no. It was not an “experiment”, and no: I was not “playing around”. I didn’t have an option to upgrade my VisualGDB application extension and I didn’t have ESP-IDF 5.0 listed as an option to install. I simply followed what I thought were instructions, above to install the download exe: “released an updated toolchain (esp32-gcc11.2.0-r2.exe).”

Some warning, such as “are you sure you want to delete existing toolchains” might have been nice.

Hi,

I’m receiving the following error when trying to use the v5 toolchain with VisualGDB:

This error occurs immediately after creating a new ESP32 project using the v5 toolchain, which would make it a “configuration phase” problem.

I got to this by:

1. installing the trial from https://sysprogs.com/getfile/1914/VisualGDB-5.6r8-trial.msi, which setup and downloaded the 4.4.1 version of the IDF tools. That worked fine.
2. Then I installed the v5 tools using this link: https://sysprogs.com/getfile/1959/esp32-gcc11.2.0-r2.exe. Which is when I first received the error.
3. Above, you said that https://visualgdb.com/download/?build=5.6.109.4769 was needed for v5, so I installed that but it didn’t resolve the problem.
4. Running C:\Programming\Languages\VisualGDBTools\ESP32\v5\esp-idf\v5.0\install.bat (suggested in the error message) succeeds but doesn’t resolve the problem either.

I’m a bit lost at this point. Any suggestions?

[PaulMartinsen]

I suspect the problem is that IDF_TOOLS_PATH isn’t treated consistently. Whether by Espressif’s tools or VisualGBD I’m not sure. But I noticed that running install.bat created a python environment at the path set by IDF_TOOLS_PATH, but that wasn’t where VisualGDB was looking for it during the configuration phase. Removing the Espressif toolset and running the install.bat from VisualGDB toolchain location resolved the problem at the expense of expanding the user’s profile folder by nearly 3GB.

[gojimmypi]

I’m revisiting this today. The ESP-IDF v5 is still not working properly for me.  I installed v5 the Visual Studio and tried to load cmake & build. Saw this error:

I’ve otherwise had great success with prior versions of the ESP-IDF in VisualGDB.

I’m using Visual Studio 2019 16.11.21 and VisualGDB 5.6R9 (build 4769)

Please advise the exact steps that are needed to properly install Espressif ESP-IDF v5 support. Thank you.

Hey  @PaulMartinsen and others interested in the ESP-IDF v5: there was a new offline IDF release overnight. Unfortunately still called “5.0”

Release Release offline-5.0 · espressif/idf-installer (github.com)

I’m not sure if this is referenced directly by the VisualGDB toolchain install, or if a copy is used.

Also: see this link regarding <a class=”Link–secondary markdown-title” title=”Tools: bugfix wrong format of idf-env.json, KeyError: ‘idfSelectedId’

Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/9837&#8243; href=”https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/commit/77569c24b98401083f936599e4c94950867a2e22&#8243; data-pjax=”true”>KeyError: ‘idfSelectedId’  if anyone other than me also uses the VisualGDB toolchains to test from DOS/Linux(WSL)

Hi All,

@angel, @paulmartinsen – please make sure you use the latest VisualGDB 5.6R9. The older versions indeed do not support the new Python environment layout introduced in ESP-IDF 5.0 and will require manual setup.

@gojimmypi – please do read this reply. You keep doing multiple things at one and breaking them further and further. If you would like to get anything working, we urge you to read and follow the best engineering practices described here.
