These instructions are not to replace, but to supplement the Espressif Get Started documentation.

We are using a custom ESP-IDF, with modifications used by the ODROID-GO firmware. This tree is frequently updated to the latest Espressif master, and has a “odroid” branch that is rebased on top of it.

Git Repository: https://github.com/jkent/esp-idf.git

git clone --branch odroid --recurse-submodules https://github.com/jkent/esp-idf.git
cd esp-idf
./install.sh
source export.sh

cd esp-idf
git checkout master
git branch -D odroid
git pull --recurse-submodules
git checkout odroid
git clean -fdx
./install.sh
source export.sh

I recommend setting your system default python to python3. This paired with python $(which idf.py) will resolve your problems with pathlib. We will do this with the update-alternatives system.

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/python2.7 1
sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/python python /usr/bin/$(readlink $(which python3)) 2

You can change and/or verify that python3 is the default by running:

update-alternatives --config python

| For IDF development only

cd esp-idf
git checkout master
git remote add upstream https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
git pull upstream --recurse-submodules
git checkout odroid
git rebase master
git push origin --all
