Hello everyone, I’m new to this area, I’m having big problems with building lv_micropython, the problem itself is that there is no up-to-date information about what version this or that Git submodule supports.
What do I have:
- esp32-s3-whroom-1
- display st7789
- esp-idf
- lv_micropython
- python 3.12 and 3.9
The problem itself is that initially I tried to build with esp-idf v5.4, the current version for today, I also downloaded the lv_micropython master branch (GitHub - lvgl/lv_micropython: Micropython bindings to LVGL for Embedded devices, Unix and JavaScript) and did not change anything in it, while building there are problems typical (as I understand) version transition errors, for example esp_adc_cal, then read the documentation specifically for the esp32 port (lv_micropython/ports/esp32/README.md at master · lvgl/lv_micropython · GitHub) I saw that esp-idf v4.4 is used (specifically for esp32s3) switched to version 4.4 but during installation I get python errors like:
Collecting gevent<2.0,>=1.2.2 (from gdbgui==0.13.2.0->-r /home/user/esp/esp-idf/requirements.txt (line 22))

Possible solutions:
Switched to python version 3.9 and the environment was installed.
After which I went to the lv_micropython directory and did everything according to the instructions:
- I activate the esp-idf environment
~/esp-idf/export.sh
Setting IDF_PATH to '/home/user/esp/esp-idf'
Detecting the Python interpreter
Checking "python" ...
Python 3.9.0
"python" has been detected
Adding ESP-IDF tools to PATH...
Using Python interpreter in /home/user/.espressif/python_env/idf4.4_py3.9_env/bin/python
...
Done! You can now compile ESP-IDF projects.
Go to the project directory and run:
idf.py build
- Then in the lv_micropython directory
cd lv_micropython
git submodule update --init --recursive lib/lv_bindings
make -C mpy-cross
...

- Switch to the esp32 port
cd ports/esp32
make submodules
make BOARD=GENERIC_S3
- And I get a huge error output like

I’ve been struggling with this for two weeks now and I can’t put it together, no matter what I tried (and tried to use legacy export, but for some reason it doesn’t export normally).
Moreover, if you assemble it simply like make, it assembles normally, but you can’t flash it, I would like to compile it specifically for esp32s3
The main problems are that the documentation does not indicate anywhere which current version of this or that software to use for assembly and I do not understand how to assemble correctly.
