Re: Trouble getting started on ESP-IDF extension of VSCode

Hi quarterstablemind,

This is a known issue with the activation for the v2.0.2 of the extension and will get fixed with the next release. The issue happens when you have a non esp-idf project folder open inside VS Code.

The workaround is to just open a new window of VS Code (File > New Window) and ...

Re: Each time esp-idf asks me to configure the framework.

Hi axa,

I’ll try to address the points you raised and clarify how things should behave.

1. ESP-IDF installation & version selection

From your description, it sounds like you successfully installed the framework using EIM (Espressif Installation Manager), which is now the recommended method ...

Re: Issue with VSCode extension

Hi sidprice,

Sorry for late reply.

VS Code extension is actually setting up its own Python virtual environment and environment variables only inside VSCode’s ESP-IDF Terminal.

If you want to use Powershell outside of the VS Code extension, you need to replicate the environment. To do that:
- you ...

I encourage you in the future, if you encounter any issues with the extension, to open an issue on the github repo https://github.com/espressif/vscode-esp-idf-extension/issues. We have a better visibility there.

1 & 2) This is not the intended behavior. The ...

Re: VSCode extension: Command not found

Hi julien,

I think this happens because there are some leftover settings in your setup.

Try to run the command ESP-IDF: Clear Saved ESP-IDF Setups from the Command Palette, if this command doesn't work, you can search for the configuration manually using these 3 commands from the Command Palette ...

I need some additional information to help troubleshoot your issue:

Could you provide detailed steps to reproduce the problem? A screen recording (GIF) would be particularly helpful.
Please clarify your connection setup:

- Are you using a USB-C cable connected to the UART port?
- Or are you ...

Re: Can't flash hello.c on ESP32-C3 (WROOM) with ESP-IDF extension in VSCode

Hi,

From what I understand from your post, you have JTAG disabled from efuse. If that is the case you are not able to use JTAG flashing anymore. You can try to use UART Flash, which does not require running OPENOCD.

If this doesn't solve the issue, please run the command "ESP-IDF: Doctor Command ...
