ESP32-C3 uses IDF development tools to connect to WiFi. The code I used is examples\wifi\getting_started\station, which is a simple WiFi Internet access setting.
First, copy the sample code to the target directory, and then specify the compilation target as esp32c3 chip
idf.py set-target esp32c3
Second, use the idf menu to specify the wifi password.
idf.py menuconfig
Use example configuration->Set
Change the wifi ssid and password to your AP's password.
Third, compile the entire project
idf.py build
After the compilation is completed, it can be burned into the development board.
Fourth, the burning program uses the command idf.py -p <PORT> flash
idf.py -p com12 flash
After the burning is completed, you can find that the development board is connected to the AP after powering on again.
Once you have the address of the development board, you can use the ping command to verify it.
Now you can connect the development board to wifi.
Let's do a simple analysis of the code

Although the whole system uses iwip code, the whole system only uses ping code. Although the system uses freertos, the freertos code is not used in this program.

The settings in the code are to specify the wifi ssid and password. If they are not specified, you can also specify them here.
