![]() implement time syscalls This change adds optional support for libc time functions. New menuconfig option allows selecting FRC1, RTC, both, or none to be used for timekeeping. - If only FRC1 timer is used, gettimeofday will provide time at microsecond resolution. Time will not be preserved when going into deep sleep mode. - If both FRC1 and RTC timers are used, timekeeping will continue in deep sleep. Time will be reported at 1 microsecond resolution. - If only RTC timer is used, timekeeping will continue in deep sleep, but time will be measured at 6.(6) microsecond resolution. Also the gettimeofday function itself may take longer to run. - If no timers are used, gettimeofday function will return -1 and set errno to ENOSYS. `times` function returns time derived from FreeRTOS ticks. It reports all as 'system' time, 'user' time is reported as zero. `settimeofday` function may be used to set current time. LwIP SNTP module is hooked up into the system through `settimeofday`/`gettimeofday`. Example demonstrating this functionality is also added. ref. TW6415 See merge request !168 |

Using Espressif IoT Development Framework with the ESP32
Setting Up ESP-IDF
In the docs directory you will find per-platform setup guides:
Finding A Project
As well as the esp-idf-template project mentioned in the setup guide, esp-idf comes with some example projects in the examples directory.
Once you've found the project you want to work with, change to its directory and you can configure and build it:
Configuring your project
make menuconfig
Compiling your project
make all
... will compile app, bootloader and generate a partition table based on the config.
Flashing your project
When make all
finishes, it will print a command line to use esptool.py to flash the chip. However you can also do this from make by running:
make flash
This will flash the entire project (app, bootloader and partition table) to a new chip. The settings for serial port flashing can be configured with make menuconfig
.
You don't need to run make all
before running make flash
, make flash
will automatically rebuild anything which needs it.
Compiling & Flashing Just the App
After the initial flash, you may just want to build and flash just your app, not the bootloader and partition table:
make app
- build just the app.make app-flash
- flash just the app.
make app-flash
will automatically rebuild the app if it needs it.
(There's no downside to reflashing the bootloader and partition table each time, if they haven't changed.)
The Partition Table
Once you've compiled your project, the "build" directory will contain a binary file with a name like "my_app.bin". This is an ESP32 image binary that can be loaded by the bootloader.
A single ESP32's flash can contain multiple apps, as well as many different kinds of data (calibration data, filesystems, parameter storage, etc). For this reason a partition table is flashed to offset 0x4000 in the flash.
Each entry in the partition table has a name (label), type (app, data, or something else), subtype and the offset in flash where the partition is loaded.
The simplest way to use the partition table is to make menuconfig
and choose one of the simple predefined partition tables:
- "Single factory app, no OTA"
- "Factory app, two OTA definitions"
In both cases the factory app is flashed at offset 0x10000. If you make partition_table
then it will print a summary of the partition table.
For more details about partition tables and how to create custom variations, view the docs/partition-tables.rst
file.
