Roland Takacs 0d49696618 Merge esp8266-rtos-sdk and esp-idf targets (#4958)
This patch bumps esp8266-rtos-sdk to the latest release. This required to
modify the directory structure and the build system to conform to ESP-IDF
Style. Since esp-idf target already supports ESP-IDF Style, the espressif
targets has been merged to eliminate code duplication.
The target application code has been modified from blinking leds to hello
world to be aligned to other targets.

About

This folder contains files to run JerryScript on ESP32 board with ESP-IDF. The document had been validated on Ubuntu 20.04 operating system.

How to build

1. Setup the build environment

Clone the necessary projects into a jerry-esp directory. The latest tested working version of ESP-IDF SDK is release/v4.4.

# Create a base folder for all the projects.
mkdir jerry-esp && cd jerry-esp

git clone https://github.com/jerryscript-project/jerryscript.git
git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git -b release/v4.4

# SDK requires Xtensa toolchain.
wget https://dl.espressif.com/dl/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-linux-amd64.tar.gz

The following directory structure has been created:

jerry-esp
  + jerryscript
  |  + targets
  |      + baremetal-sdk
  |          + espressif
  |
  + esp-idf
  + xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-linux-amd64.tar.gz

2. Install dependencies of the projects

# Assuming you are in jerry-esp folder.
jerryscript/tools/apt-get-install-deps.sh

# Install dependencies of esp-idf.
python -m pip install --user -r esp-idf/requirements.txt

# Extract the downloaded toolchain.
tar -xvf xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc8_4_0-esp-2021r2-linux-amd64.tar.gz

3. Build ESP-IDF (with JerryScript)

# Assuming you are in jerry-esp folder.
PATH=${PWD}/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:$PATH esp-idf/tools/idf.py \
  --project-dir jerryscript/targets/baremetal-sdk/espressif \
  --build-dir jerryscript/build/esp-idf \
  set-target esp32 \
  all

The created binary is a jerrycript.bin named file located in jerryscript/build/esp-idf folder.

4. Flash the device

Connect Micro-USB for charging and flashing the device. The device should be visible as /dev/ttyUSB0.

# Assuming you are in jerry-esp folder.
sudo python esp-idf/components/esptool_py/esptool/esptool.py \
  --chip esp32 \
  --port /dev/ttyUSB0 \
  --baud 460800 \
  --before default_reset \
  --after hard_reset \
  write_flash \
  --flash_mode dio \
  --flash_size detect \
  --flash_freq 40m \
  0x1000 jerryscript/build/esp-idf/bootloader/bootloader.bin \
  0x8000 jerryscript/build/esp-idf/partition_table/partition-table.bin \
  0x10000 jerryscript/build/esp-idf/jerryscript.bin

5. Connect to the device

esp-idf provides a Python script for serial communication. Other programs also can be used such as minicom, picocom, etc.

  • The device should be visible as /dev/ttyUSB0
  • The device uses 115200 baud rate for serial communication
  • Press CTRL + ALT + ] to exit monitor program
# Assuming you are in jerry-esp folder.
PATH=${PWD}/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:$PATH esp-idf/tools/idf_monitor.py \
  --port /dev/ttyUSB0 \
  --baud 115200 \
  --toolchain-prefix=xtensa-esp32-elf- \
  jerryscript/build/esp-idf/jerryscript.elf
