8.1.10. Espressif ESP IDF

8.1.10.1. Background

Your project is built using Espressif ESP IDF.

8.1.10.2. What can be configured?

As the Espressif ESP IDF uses GCC, CMake and Ninja, integration can be performed using those primitives and not with the idf.py build tool.

8.1.10.3. What needs to be done?

Compiler profile can be set up with gccsetup using the respective GCC variant.

As the way Espressif ESP IDF uses CMake is not really by using toolchain files as one would expect, it is not the usual simple way of hooking into CMake with an Axivion analysis toolchain.

However, we can use CMakeIntegration to do the native build and export a compile_commands.json database that we can use in a subsequent build step with the CompileCommandsIntegration as follows.
