| − | The IoTuz uses the ESP32 at its core, and hence the dev environment for the IoTuz is the standard ESP-IDF dev environment/framework. The dev framework is a complete cross-compiling environment which includes the necessary pieces to not only develop software for the ESP32, but to push it to the device as well. | + | The instructions for installing the IoTuz Dev Environment are now on Github at: https://github.com/CCHS-Melbourne/IoTuz/wiki/Software-Instructions |
| | | | |
| − | =Installing the Dev Framework=
| + | Note: These instructions were changed just before the [[OHC2017]] so if you haven't updated your install, please check them again. |
| − | | |
| − | Instructions for installing the '''ESP-IDF''' dev framework are at https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf#setting-up-esp-idf
| |
| − | | |
| − | Before the '''Open Hardware MiniConf''', it's recommended that you complete steps '''''1-3''''' of the specific setup guides for your OS.
| |

| − | =USB Serial Drivers=
| |
| − | | |
| − | The on-board USB Serial chip for the IoTuz is the CP2102, and you'll need support for this to communicate with the board. You can download drivers from http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/pages/usbtouartbridgevcpdrivers.aspx if required.
| |
| − | | |
| − | If you have a Linux 3.x or later kernel, these drivers are usually supplied by default with the OS Distro. If you roll your own kernel or are using a really stripped down system, you may need to build them from source.

| − | =ESP32 Developer Docs & Resources=
| |
| − | | |
| − | Documentation on the ESP32 for developers is at http://esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html
| |
| − | | |
| − | The docs cover everything from installing dev environments (covered above), general architecture information, a developer API reference and a technical reference for the ESP32 itself.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [http://esp32.com/ Espressif forum/website] is also a very useful resource.

| − | =IoTuz Specific Code=
| |
| − | | |
| − | As part of the main [https://github.com/CCHS-Melbourne/IoTuz IoTuz repo], there is some [https://github.com/CCHS-Melbourne/IoTuz/tree/master/Software/Snippets Test code] for confirming that hardware on the IoTuz is working as expected.

| − | =ESP32 Enabled Arduino IDE=
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are install instructions for getting the ESP32 running in the Arduino IDE at https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32#installation-instructions
| |
| − | | |
| − | The [[OHC2017|Open Hardware Miniconf 2017]] won't be using the ESP32 Arduino environment, however it's still quite usable, especially for basic stuff and testing. Most functions in the ESP-IDF are exposed and available in ESP Arduino shortly after they appear in ESP-IDF.
