I was just getting ready to post this same problem when I saw this post last minute. I am having the same issue. Mike@DESKTOP-QPDOB55 MINGW32 ~/esp $ git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git Cloning into 'esp-idf'... 1 [main] git-remote-https 2572 child_info_fork::abort: C:\msy...

Neil,

I sure feel like a idiot now! I read that thread a few weeks ago, and forgot all about it!
Just goes to show how awesome of speaker you are. Took me that huge post, where you did it in a couple paragraphs.

!!! Warning, Long in the tooth description, Warning !!! For those of use not willing to let go of our Win10 boxes, and go full Linux I think I have found an alternate method to compile on a PC. So far, I know of 3 such methods, #1) Install a cross compiler on your PC, and other changes. #2) Install ...

@kolban When creating a project in Arduino there is no sdkconfig.h in the project folder like there is when you create one for IDF. It's unclear to me if i were say to copy the default "sdkconfig.h" over to my project directory, how to tell my project to use this one over the default in the Arduino ...

I have posted this @ platformIO, but that forum is no where near as responsive as people here. So I'd thought I'd give it a shot here as well. Concerning make menuconfig. For ESP32 IDF i know how to do this, but with PlatformIO and using Arduino, how do we make changes in menuconfig. For instance, h...

I'm happy to see a list of commands that I can contemplate rather than a single command which encapsulates much in a script. Still just curious ;) But doesn't the script accommodate both, the ones that like the single command, and those that want the list. One could always just look at the script s...

Thanks for the kind reply. I should have been more clear in my post. Could there not be a script that performs all the install requirements on a Linux box ? I.E. Page 69 from the great Kolban's ESP32 book Small Snippet... cd ~ mkdir esp32 cd esp32 sudo apt-get install git wget make libncurses-dev fl...

I am just curious... I have just started to try to learn Linux, but so far I see how scrips are a great thing. Why hasn't some of the Linux guys, made a script that would perform all these steps. Seems to me it would be far better to run one thing that handles all this, than doing copy and pasted fr...

Thanks Mr. Kolban for this wonderful book!
An unimaginable amount of time went into that.

I have been using VisualGDB for my ESp32. Its an add on for Visual Studio and works great. Since you mentioned BBB, I also use it to for that as well, and many other Embedded Linux boards. https://visualgdb.com/ Tutorials for ESP32 https://visualgdb.com/w/tutorials/category/tutorials/embedded/esp826...
