Controller firmware development with ESP-IDF

To get started, make sure you have build and opened the esp-idf devcontainer in VS-Code.

Info

All commands below are to be run from the root of the repository.

Note

You may set the OPENFLAP_DEFAULT_SSID and OPENFLAP_DEFAULT_PASSWORD environment variables to override the default WiFi SSID and password for the controller. If not set, the controller will default to default_ssid and default_password.

Build the firmware

idf.py -B build/controller -C software/controller build

Flash the firmware

idf.py -B build/controller -C software/controller flash monitor

Note

The first time you program the controller, you will need to use the UART0 RX/TX pads on the bottom of the board. After the initial programming, you can use the USB port to program and debug the controller.+

Action Buttons

The VS Code devcontainer contains a toolbar with some useful actions for building and flashing the firmware.
