what is the difference between compiling for esp32dev vs nodemcu-32S?

Postby marcmerlin » Sat Mar 09, 2019 10:41 pm

I have a nodemcu-32 ESP32.
In my older arduino builds, I would just build with esp32 dev module.
Now, there is an option to compile for nodemcu-32.
Although my builds work regardless of which one I pick.

What does selecting chip specific compilation do differently?

Thanks

mmmh, compiling for nodemcu is actually worse, it removes partition scheme options. or core debug options.
So, no idea why those CPU compile options are even there...

So, no one can tell me why there are so many ESP32 chip options I can compile for, and why compiling for ESP32 dev seems better options-wise than using NODEMCU which is the chip I actually have?

There is files defining each board type (dont recall name or location) - but it define specific parts for each board, like gpio pin used for build in led etc.

So as long as you select a board without any conflict with you actual board, you should be fine.

Thanks for confirming, it seems that esp32dev is the best option then, especially now that I added a bunch of partitioning mappings in master, including ffat partitioning options I use :)
