- antoniuschan99 6y agoEsp-idf is amazing . Esp8266 doesnt have flash encryption and secure boot. Esp32-s2 does though.
- gspr 6y ago> Esp-idf is amazing . I have the opposite experience. Sure, if you just need to adapt their examples a bit, it's quite smooth. But the documentation is horrendous! If you need to do anything non-trivial that isn't covered by examples, I found it very very hard to work with. The documentation barely exists and is written in poor English. Compare this to the documentation for ARM SDKs, for example! Night and day.
- antoniuschan99 6y agoI was comparing the Esp-idf to the Arduino libraries! The documentation isn't too bad, it's quite lengthy. The examples, tutorials online, and github issues in the idf repo help a lot too since the documentation doesn't dive into code examples too well.
- snarfy 6y agoIt took me two days of fighting with esp8266_rtos_sdk and hacking together their broken github repo before I finally got anything to work. esp-idf worked on the first try.
