Hello,

I'm with the lost FreeBSD community trying to get ESP-IDF running for small projects. A couple of days ago I did the last git fetch/rebase on IDF v6.0, everything worked so far. But as of today, another pull leaves the ESP-IDF tree corrupt:

[...]
CMake Error at /PATH/esp-idf-idf60/tools ...

Thank you for sharing!

I tried to make FreeBSD ports from all of the necessary Python tools necessary to run idf.py with the ESP-IDF - that worked so far as I mentioned earlier. It has turned out, that FreeBSD's devel/py-setuptools is hopelessly outdated, one needs to update to py311-setuptools-75 ...

Just for the record:

with the latest port upgrade a decent toolchain for FreeBSD is available now, derived from crosstool-ng 13.2.0 and supports Xtensa ESP32 based MCUs (esp32, esp32s2, esp32s3) (refering to ESP-IDF v5.3 - the git repo needs some minor tweaks to work with FreeBSD without ...

With an update of port devel/xtensa-esp-elf and some own tweaks as well as with the (private) port provided of T. Sakurai (trombik) on github.com (xtensa-esp32-elf, now providing also a LLVM derived/focussed toolchain), one is able to use a decent toolchain on FreeBSD.

To some extend I'm able to ...

In the meinawhile, the maintainer of the port "trombik/xtensa-esp32-elf" located on GitHub (see above) has updated its port to meet "ESP-IDF 5.2.2". Running on CURRENT, 14-STABLE and/or 14.1-RELENG works (we build the toolchain for these supposed tob be development platforms.

The ESP-IDF is reeled ...

Thank you very much for responding. I'd like to apologize for my late response.

Many thanks for your experience. I would like to comment on some.

I use the xtensa-esp32-elf toolchain. Since I do not have permanent internet connection and due to a centralized deployment, the usage of those python ...

Hello forum.
I also intend to use ESP-IDF to work on some ESP32 projects utilizing FreeBSD (CURRENT, 14-STABLE and 13-STABLE as of today), without Linuxulator!
