3 Get Started

3.3.2 Get ESP-IDF
To build applications for ESP8684-MINI-1U module, you need the software libraries provided by Espressif in ESP-IDF repository.
To get ESP-IDF, create an installation directory (~/esp) to download ESP-IDF to and clone the repository with `git clone’:
1 mkdir -p ~/esp 2 cd ~/esp 3 git clone –recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git
ESP-IDF will be downloaded into ~/esp/esp-idf. Consult ESP-IDF Versions for information about which ESP-IDF version to use in a given situation.
3.3.3 Set up Tools
Aside from the ESP-IDF, you also need to install the tools used by ESP-IDF, such as the compiler, debugger, Python packages, etc. ESP-IDF provides a script named ‘install.sh’ to help set up the tools in one go.
1 cd ~/esp/esp-idf 2 ./install.sh

3.3.4 Set up Environment Variables
The installed tools are not yet added to the PATH environment variable. To make the tools usable from the command line, some environment variables must be set. ESP-IDF provides another script ‘export.sh’ which does that. In the terminal where you are going to use ESP-IDF, run:
1 . $HOME/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
Now everything is ready, you can build your first project on ESP8684-MINI-1U module.

3.4 Create Your First Project
3.4.1 Start a Project
Now you are ready to prepare your application for ESP8684-MINI-1U module. You can start with get-started/hello_world project from examples directory in ESP- IDF. Copy get-started/hello_world to ~/esp directory:
1 cd ~/esp 2 cp -r $IDF_PATH/examples/get-started/hello_world .
There is a range of example projects in the examples directory in ESP-IDF. You can copy any project in the same way as presented above and run it. It is also possible to build examples in-place, without copying them first.

3.4.2 Connect Your Device
Now connect your module to the computer and check under what serial port the module is visible. Serial ports in Linux start with `/dev/tty’ in their names. Run the command below two times, first with the board unplugged, then with plugged in. The port which appears the second time is the one you need:

3 Get Started
1 ls /dev/tty*
Note: Keep the port name handy as you will need it in the next steps.
3.4.3 Configure
Navigate to your hello_world’ directory from Step 3.4.1. Start a Project, set ESP32-C2 chip as the target and run the project configuration utility menuconfig’.
1 cd ~/esp/hello_world 2 idf.py set-target esp32c2 3 idf.py menuconfig
Setting the target with `idf.py set-target ESP8684′ should be done once, after opening a new project. If the project contains some existing builds and configuration, they will be cleared and initialized. The target may be saved in environment variable to skip this step at all. See Selecting the Target for additional information. If the previous steps have been done correctly, the following menu appears:

Figure 3: Project Configuration – Home Window

You are using this menu to set up project specific variables, e.g. Wi-Fi network name and password, the processor speed, etc. Setting up the project with menuconfig may be skipped for “hello_word”. This example will run with default configuration
The colors of the menu could be different in your terminal. You can change the appearance with the option –style’. Please runidf.py menuconfig –help’for further information.

3.4.4 Build the Project
Build the project by running:
1 idf.py build
