Hardware:

Board: ESP32 with integrated oled 1306 (CP210x serial uart)
Core Installation/update date: ?11/jul/2017?
IDE name: 1.8.5 on Armbian on an Orange Pi 2 plus E
Flash Frequency: ?40Mhz?
Upload Speed: ?115200?

Description:

I install the esp32 support files, by following the instructions for Linux on Arm (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) to the letter:

everything works fine, and get.py completes successfully. However the compiler and other tools are not downloaded. The only file which gets downloaded is mkspiffs. Consequently when I try to compile anything (e.g. the simple default sketch below) the Arduino IDE tells me that:

fork/exec /home/vnc/Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32/tools/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-g++: no such file or directory

any ideas ?

thanks,
Lars

Sketch:

//Change the code below by your sketch
#include <Arduino.h>

void setup() {
}

void loop() {
}

Debug Messages:

Enable Core debug level: Debug on tools menu of Arduino IDE, then put the serial output here

I don't think there has been a lot of demand for the toolchain on ARM. http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get-started/linux-setup-scratch.html

thanks, I will try to create it from scratch - the reason why I want to do that is, that I have a number of ESP32 boards with 1306 oled - unfortunately they use an CP210x uart which does not seem to be properly supported under win10 - maybe its time to setup a dedicated linux environment on x86 if that orange thing does not work ...

A cp2102 should also work fine with a linux virtual machine (virtualbox.org)

I have same problem on armbian (ubuntu) , anybody decide this problem?
