Rust Fork

  • Add support for using the esp-rs fork of Rust to support the Xtensa Architecture processors for esp32 (ESP32-S2 and ESP32-S3).
  • Checkout the esp32s2-idf-rust devShell (meant as a nix replacement to espup ). The reason why I removed esp-idf from that shell is that the esp-idf-sys crate automatically clones esp-idf and expects it to be a git repository. It also installs the python dependencies automatically through virtualenv. I'd imagine supporting esp32s3 would be similar, but I haven't tested it myself.

Other notes

  • I copied some code from rust-overlay, located in the pkgs/rust directory.

nixpkgs-esp-dev

ESP8266 and ESP32(-C3, -S2, -S3) packages and development environments for Nix.

This repo contains derivations for:

  • Toolchains (compiler, linker, GDB, etc.) for xtensa-lx106-elf (ESP8266) and xtensa-esp32-elf (ESP32) using the official binaries from Espressif.
  • ESP-IDF
  • OpenOCD for ESP32

Released into the public domain via CC0 (see COPYING).

Getting started

nix develop

The easiest way to get started is to run one of these commands to get a development shell, without even needing to download the repository (requires Nix 2.4 or later):

  • nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop github:mirrexagon/nixpkgs-esp-dev#esp32-idf: for ESP32 development with esp-idf.
    • Includes the ESP32 toolchain, esptool, the OpenOCD fork supporting ESP32, and downloads and sets up ESP-IDF with everything ready to use idf.py.
  • nix --experimental-features 'nix-command flakes' develop github:mirrexagon/nixpkgs-esp-dev#esp8266: for ESP8266 development with eg. esp-open-rtos
    • Includes the ESP8266 toolchain and esptool.

nix-shell

If you're not using Nix 2.4+ or prefer not to need to enable flakes, you can clone the repo and use one of:

  • nix-shell shells/esp32c3-idf.nix
  • nix-shell shells/esp32s2-idf.nix
  • nix-shell shells/esp32s3-idf.nix
  • nix-shell shells/esp32-idf.nix
  • nix-shell shells/esp8266.nix

to get the same shells as with nix develop.

Note: nix develop will use the nixpkgs revision specified in flake.nix/flake.lock, while using nix-shell will use your system nixpkgs by default.

Creating a custom shell environment

You can create a standalone shell.nix for your project that downloads nixpkgs-esp-dev automatically and creates a shell with the necessary packages and environment setup to use ESP-IDF.

See examples/shell-standalone.nix for an example.

Overriding ESP-IDF and ESP32 toolchain versions

There are default versions of ESP-IDF and the ESP32 toolchain versions specified in pkgs/esp32-toolchain-bin.nix and pkgs/esp-idf/default.nix. To use a different version of ESP-IDF or to pin the versions, override the derivations with the desired versions and the hashes for them. Note that given versions of ESP-IDF require specific versions of the toolchain, which is why the versions of both are customizable.

See examples/shell-override-versions.nix for an example.

Overlay

This repo contains an overlay in overlay.nix containing all the packages defined by this repo. If you clone the repo into ~/.config/nixpkgs/overlays/, nixpkgs will automatically pick up the overlay and effectively add the packages to your system nixpkgs.
