Problem with ESP-IDF 5.0

Question

Hello,

I've got a problem, I' ve bought 2 years ago the Embedded Wizard Studio 9.30 and now the GUI that I developped upon this version it's working fine with my board with the microcontroller ESP32 from Espressif.

Now I'have to implement on the board some new functions and library tied to ESP32 microcontroller that are managed with the ESP-IDF version 5.0. So, the problem is that I' don't need to upgrade the GUI because it's ok and it works fine but I need to upgrade only the IDF. When I try to compile and upload the firmware on my device, I can't see any GUI on the screen.

How can I do ?

Thank you in advance for the answer

Hello,

meanwhile our ESP32 Build Environments are updated to work with ESP-IDF 5.0 - so you have two possibilities:

- You can download the ESP32 Build Environment for V12 (together with the Free Edition of Embedded Wizard Studio 12) and check the differences between your project and the current version.

- You can update your license and your project to use the latest version 12.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

Manfred.

Thank you Manfred for your kindly reply.

we will check the current Environment for V12 to see the differences with the 9.30 version and we take in account to update the license if necessary.

We made some further test yesterday and currently we think that the problem is not on the compatibility of the 9.30 environment with the ESP-IDF 5.0 but in other mistakes related to the compatibility of the ESP-IDF 5.0 update and our old ADC library that during runtime takes (erroneously) the SPI pins of the LCD and reconfigures it. So, currently we think that teh 9.30 enviroment can be compatible with the new ESP-IDF with some little changes and care.
