# Building
1. Install the ESP-IDF toolchain (See: [Toolchain section](#toolchain]))
2. Source the environment `source ~/esp/esp-idf/export.sh` (yes i know)
3. idf.py build
4. idf.py flash
A makefile is provided to somewhat remedy this madness.
## Toolchain
See: [Standard Toolchain Setup for Linux](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/get-started/linux-macos-setup.html)
From the official docs, essentially:
```sh
mkdir -p ~/esp
cd ~/esp
git clone -b v5.4.2 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
cd ~/esp/esp-idf
./install.sh esp32 # This is the arch for our mcu (esp-wroom-32)
```
For qemu: (The environment needs to be sourced)
```sh
python $IDF_PATH/tools/idf_tools.py install qemu-xtensa
```
