New toolchain for IDF v.4.1.1 – update is needed

[omar]

espressif has just released a new stable IDF v.4.1.1 with a new toolchain update (esp-2020r3) as shown here in  the release page https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/tag/v4.1.1

Do you have any short term plans to update visualgdb to the corresponding latest toolchain (esp-2020r3) ?

Hi,

We have already released an updated toolchain based on esp-2020r3 and the latest ESP-IDF 4.1 and 4.2 (esp32-gcc8.4.0.exe). You can install it via VisualGDB Package Manager or by downloading the file directly.

@keymaster Why this revision is no longer available in the toolchains download section? and is it still supported?

P.S. Revision 2 have some bugs I’m trying to avoid and revision 1 works fine , so need that revision actually!

Hi,

We usually remove the toolchains that have been superseded by bugfix releases (i.e. use the same compiler version) to save space. If the bugfix release is less stable than the original one, it’s likely due to the ESP-IDF version included in it. If this is the case, please try getting the git commit ID of the version that works for you by running the following command in the esp-idf directory of the working toolchain:

git log -n 1

Below is the sample output from it:

commit 1e3638390964c86b0e7ef3af02973b30c58ea1be

Merge branch 'bugfix/handling_public_action_frame_v4.2' into 'release/v4.2'

esp_wifi: Fix SoftAP crash by handling public action frames.

See merge request espressif/esp-idf!13927

You can then checkout the same commit into the other toolchain, e.g.:

git checkout 1e3638390964c86b0e7ef3af02973b30c58ea1be
