[ESP32-Audio-Kit Audio Development Board] - 2: Installing "esp-idf-v3.3.5" on Windows 10 [Copy link]

According to the instructions here (https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-adf/en/latest/get-started/), "esp-adf" is an extension of "esp-idf" in terms of functionality. Therefore, to install "esp-adf", you must first install "esp-idf". In addition, "esp-adf" has requirements for the supported versions of "esp-idf". As of this post, only three versions are supported - v3.3.2, v4.0 and v4.1. Because I am currently installing v4.3, I need to reinstall the supported version, and here I choose v4.1. Change "4.3" in this address to "4.1":

https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/download/v4.3/esp-idf-v4.3.zip.

The actual situation is: 4.1 is not as easy to install as 4.3. Espressif's technicians recommend using 4.1.2, which is also difficult to install. When I was thinking of a breakthrough, I saw the introduction that esp-adf requires esp-idf version 3.0. The versions currently available are:

https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/releases/tag/v3.3.5

Finally, I downloaded it completely on Ubuntu 20.04, but there was a problem with the installation. As a last resort, I returned to Windows 10. After all, GitHub is now on the same platform as Windows, so I thought the support would be more complete. At least for now, it is difficult to bypass Windows when trying Espressif's tools.

There are two installers, online and offline. This experiment uses the online version:

After a lot of setup and waiting (much shorter than on Ubuntu 20.04, and smooth, uninterrupted, and error-free), I’m here:

I selected two, so I opened two:

Follow the instructions here and the prompts along the way:

Now we can test this step:

By:

Conclusion: Without trying Ubuntu 20.04, you can’t understand how easy it is to use Windows 10.

Please stay tuned for further progress.

It seems that the trial experience of Ubuntu 20.04 is still closely related to win10
