Library Builder - - — Arduino ESP32 latest documentation

Espressif provides a macOS and Linux tool to simplify building your own compiled libraries for use in Arduino IDE (or your favorite IDE).

This tool can be used to change the project or a specific configuration according to your needs.

To install the Library Builder into your environment, please, follow the instructions below.

• Clone the ESP32 Arduino lib builder:

git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder

• Go to the esp32-arduino-lib-builder folder:

cd esp32-arduino-lib-builder

• Build:

If everything works, you may see the following message: Successfully created esp32 image.

To build the library you will need to install some dependencies. Maybe you already have installed it, but it is a good idea to check before building.

• Install all dependencies (Ubuntu):

sudo apt-get install git wget curl libssl-dev libncurses-dev flex bison gperf cmake ninja-build ccache jq

• Install Python and upgrade pip:

sudo apt-get install python3
sudo pip install --upgrade pip

• Install all required packages:

pip install --user setuptools pyserial click cryptography future pyparsing pyelftools

If you have all the dependencies met, it is time to build the libraries.

To build using the default configuration:

There are some options to help you create custom libraries. You can use the following options:

build.sh [-s] [-A arduino_branch] [-I idf_branch] [-i idf_commit] [-c path] [-t <target>] [-b <build|menuconfig|idf_libs|copy_bootloader|mem_variant>] [config ...]

Skip installing/updating of ESP-IDF and all components

This option can be used if you already have the ESP-IDF and all components already in your environment.

Set which branch of arduino-esp32 to be used for compilation

./build.sh -A <arduino_branch>

Set which branch of ESP-IDF is to be used for compilation

./build.sh -I <idf_branch>

Set which commit of ESP-IDF to be used for compilation

./build.sh -i <idf_commit>

Deploy the build to github arduino-esp32

Set the arduino-esp32 folder to copy the result to. ex. ‘$HOME/Arduino/hardware/espressif/esp32’

This function is used to copy the compiled libraries to the Arduino folder.

Set the build target(chip). ex. ‘esp32s3’

This build command will build for the ESP32-S3 target. You can specify other targets.

• esp32

• esp32c2

• esp32c3

• esp32c6

• esp32h2

• esp32p4

• esp32s2

• esp32s3

Set the build type. ex. ‘build’ to build the project and prepare for uploading to a board.

Note

This command depends on the -t argument.

./build.sh -t esp32 -b <build|menuconfig|idf_libs|copy_bootloader|mem_variant>

Specify additional configs to be applied. ex. qio 80m to compile for QIO Flash at 80 MHz.

Note

This command requires the -b to work properly.

./build.sh -t esp32 -b idf_libs qio 80m

Starting from arduino-esp32 version 3.0.0 (IDF v5.1), there is also a terminal user interface that can be used to configure the libraries to be compiled.

It allows the user to select the targets to compile, change the configuration options and compile the libraries. It has mouse support and can be pre-configured using command line arguments.

For more information and troubleshooting, check the documentation.

To use the terminal user interface, make sure to have python>=3.9, all the previous dependencies and install the textual library:

pip install --user textual

You can then run the UI using the following command:

./tools/config_editor/app.py

The UI can be pre-configured using command line arguments. The following arguments are available:

• -t, --target <target>: Comma-separated list of targets to be compiled. Choose from: all, esp32, esp32s2, esp32s3, esp32c2, esp32c3, esp32c6, esp32h2. Default: all except esp32c2;

• --copy, --no-copy: Enable/disable copying the compiled libraries to arduino-esp32. Enabled by default;

• -c, --arduino-path <path>: Path to arduino-esp32 directory. Default: OS dependent;

• -A, --arduino-branch <branch>: Branch of the arduino-esp32 repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;

• -I, --idf-branch <branch>: Branch of the ESP-IDF repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;

• -i, --idf-commit <commit>: Commit of the ESP-IDF repository to be used. Default: set by the build script;

• -D, --debug-level <level>: Debug level to be set in ESP-IDF. Choose from: default, none, error, warning, info, debug, verbose. Default: default.

Please note that all these options can be changed in the UI itself and are only used for automation purposes.

There are many screens in the UI that are used to configure the libraries to be compiled. Note that in all screens you can also use the shortcut keys shown in the footer bar to navigate.

The UI consists of the following screens:

• Main Menu: The main screen shows buttons to navigate to the other screens.

• Compile Screen: The compile screen shows the output of the compilation process and any errors that may have occurred.

• Sdkconfig Editor: The sdkconfig editor screen is a simple text editor that shows you the sdkconfig files that will be used for compilation. You can edit the files here to customize the generated libraries.

• Settings Screen: The settings screen allows you to change the settings of the compilation process. Here you can change:

  • The targets that the libraries will be compiled for. To save time, you can compile the libraries only for the target you are using;

  • Whether the compiled libraries will be copied to the arduino-esp32 directory after compilation so that they can be used in the Arduino IDE;

  • The path to the arduino-esp32 directory. This will be automatically set if the arduino-esp32 repository is in one of the default locations. If not, you can set it manually here. If using the docker image, it should not be changed as the mount point is fixed;

  • The branch of the arduino-esp32 repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a specific branch or pull request of the arduino-esp32 repository. Leave empty to use the default branch for this ESP-IDF version;

  • The branch of the ESP-IDF repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a specific branch of the ESP-IDF repository. Leave empty to use the default branch for this IDF version;

  • The commit of the ESP-IDF repository to be used. This is useful if you want to compile the libraries for a specific commit on the selected branch. Leave empty to use the latest commit;

  • The debug level to be set in ESP-IDF.

You can use a docker image for building the static libraries of ESP-IDF components for use in Arduino projects. This image contains a copy of the esp32-arduino-lib-builder repository and already includes or will obtain all the required tools and dependencies to build the Arduino static libraries.

The current supported architectures by the Docker image are:

• amd64

• arm64

Note

Building the libraries using the Docker image is much slower than building them natively on the host machine. It is recommended to use the Docker image only when the host machine does not meet the requirements for building the libraries (e.g., building on Windows).

Before using the espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder Docker image locally, make sure you have Docker installed and running on your machine. Follow the instructions at https://docs.docker.com/install/, if it is not installed yet.

If using the image in a CI environment, consult the documentation of your CI service on how to specify the image used for the build process.

You have two options to run the Docker image to build the libraries. Manually or using the provided run script.

To run the Docker image manually, use the following command from the root of the arduino-esp32 repository:

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/arduino-esp32 -e TERM=xterm-256color espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder:release-v5.4

This will start the Lib Builder UI for compiling the libraries. The above command explained:

• docker run: Runs a command in a container;

• --rm: Optional. Automatically removes the container when it exits. Remove this flag if you plan to use the container multiple times;

• -i Run the container in interactive mode;

• -t Allocate a pseudo-TTY;

• -e TERM=xterm-256color: Optional. Sets the terminal type to xterm-256color to display colors correctly;

• -v $PWD:/arduino-esp32: Optional. Mounts the current folder at /arduino-esp32 inside the container. If not provided, the container will not copy the compiled libraries to the host machine;

• espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder:release-v5.4: uses Docker image espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder with tag release-v5.4. The latest tag is implicitly added by Docker when no tag is specified. It is recommended to use a specific version tag to ensure reproducibility of the build process.

Warning

The -v option is used to mount a folder from the host machine to the container. Make sure the folder already exists on the host machine before running the command. Otherwise, the folder will be created with root permissions and files generated inside the container might cause permission issues and compilation errors.

Note

When the mounted directory /arduino-esp32 contains a git repository owned by a different user (UID) than the one running the Docker container, git commands executed within /arduino-esp32 might fail, displaying an error message fatal: detected dubious ownership in repository at '/arduino-esp32'. To resolve this issue, you can designate the /arduino-esp32 directory as safe by setting the LIBBUILDER_GIT_SAFE_DIR environment variable during the Docker container startup. For instance, you can achieve this by including -e LIBBUILDER_GIT_SAFE_DIR='/arduino-esp32' as a parameter. Additionally, multiple directories can be specified by using a : separator. To entirely disable this git security check, * can be used.

After running the above command, you will be inside the container and the libraries can be built using the user interface.

By default the docker container will run the user interface script. If you want to run a specific command, you can pass it as an argument to the docker run command. For example, to run a terminal inside the container, you can run:

docker run -it espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder:release-v5.4 /bin/bash

Running the Docker image using the provided run script will depend on the host OS. Use the following command from the root of the arduino-esp32 repository to execute the image in a Linux or macOS environment for the release-v5.4 tag:

curl -LJO https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder/refs/heads/release/v5.4/tools/docker/run.sh
chmod +x run.sh
./run.sh $PWD

For Windows, use the following command in PowerShell from the root of the arduino-esp32 repository:

Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder/refs/heads/release/v5.4/tools/docker/run.ps1" -OutFile "run.ps1"
.\run.ps1 $pwd

As the script is unsigned, you may need to change the execution policy of the current session before running the script. To do so, run the following command in PowerShell:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope Process -ExecutionPolicy Bypass

Warning

It is always a good practice to understand what the script does before running it. Make sure to analyze the content of the script to ensure it is safe to run and won’t cause any harm to your system.

To build a custom Docker image, you need to clone the Lib Builder repository and use the provided Dockerfile in the Lib Builder repository. The Dockerfile is located in the tools/docker directory.

The Docker file in the Lib Builder repository provides several build arguments which can be used to customize the Docker image:

• LIBBUILDER_CLONE_URL: URL of the repository to clone Lib Builder from. Can be set to a custom URL when working with a fork of Lib Builder. The default is https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder.git;

• LIBBUILDER_CLONE_BRANCH_OR_TAG: Name of a git branch or tag used when cloning Lib Builder. This value is passed to the git clone command using the --branch argument. The default is master;

• LIBBUILDER_CHECKOUT_REF: If this argument is set to a non-empty value, git checkout $LIBBUILDER_CHECKOUT_REF command performs after cloning. This argument can be set to the SHA of the specific commit to check out, for example, if some specific commit on a release branch is desired;

• LIBBUILDER_CLONE_SHALLOW: If this argument is set to a non-empty value, --depth=1 --shallow-submodules arguments are used when performing git clone. Depth can be customized using LIBBUILDER_CLONE_SHALLOW_DEPTH. Doing a shallow clone significantly reduces the amount of data downloaded and the size of the resulting Docker image. However, if switching to a different branch in such a “shallow” repository is necessary, an additional git fetch origin <branch> command must be executed first;

• LIBBUILDER_CLONE_SHALLOW_DEPTH: This argument specifies the depth value to use when doing a shallow clone. If not set, --depth=1 will be used. This argument has effect only if LIBBUILDER_CLONE_SHALLOW is used. Use this argument if you are building a Docker image for a branch, and the image has to contain the latest tag on that branch. To determine the required depth, run git describe for the given branch and note the offset number. Increment it by 1, then use it as the value of this argument. The resulting image will contain the latest tag on the branch, and consequently git describe command inside the Docker image will work as expected;

To use these arguments, pass them via the --build-arg command line option. For example, the following command builds a Docker image with a shallow clone of Lib Builder from a specific repository and branch:

docker buildx build -t lib-builder-custom:master \
    --build-arg LIBBUILDER_CLONE_BRANCH_OR_TAG=master \
    --build-arg LIBBUILDER_CLONE_SHALLOW=1 \
    --build-arg LIBBUILDER_CLONE_URL=https://github.com/espressif/esp32-arduino-lib-builder \
