std Development Requirements

Regardless of the target architecture, make sure you have the following required tools installed to build std applications:

• ESP-IDF Prerequisites:
  • Windows: python and git
  • Linux: See Linux ESP-IDF prerequisites.
  • macOS: See macOS ESP-IDF prerequisites.
• ldproxy binary crate: A tool that forwards linker arguments to the actual linker that is also given as an argument to ldproxy. Install it by running:

  cargo install ldproxy
  

⚠️ Note: The std runtime uses ESP-IDF (Espressif IoT Development Framework) as hosted environment but, users don't need to install it. ESP-IDF is automatically downloaded and installed by esp-idf-sys, a crate that all std projects need to use, when building a std application.
