'Can anybody help me port Espruino to the ESP32-S2 please'

The way that is worded reminds me of an old musician joke.

Lost Tourist:     'How do I get to Carnegie Hall'?

Citizen on side walk in N.Y. city:     'Practice'      ;-)

Hi @dippyhippy   I just added a forum thread last week with the get started links for flashing firmware.

Quick Start Best Practices - Commonly Referenced Links to Review and Bookmark

Beneath Heading:   'Flash Firmware'

Yeah, I don't understand your reply at all @robin. I know how to flash firmware, but it only compiles for the esp32 and not the esp32-s2.

Are you a musician? You do strike me as an artist of sorts.

Yes. Primarily Bass, then keys/synth. Started on trumpet over 50 years ago, but Bass captures the soul!!


You will need to read and understand this:
https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/blob/master/README_BuildProcess.md

But first, read along my struggles from two years ago and solutions that @AkosLukacs provided.

Espruino Build issues using README_BuildProcess.md
Unable to flash MDBT42Q with either Native WebIDE or Chrome

and to the 'Practice' comment, there will need to be some effort put in! Have fun!! . . .

'but it only compiles for the esp32 and not the esp32-s2'

It dawned on me that the request for esp32-S2 as it doesn't compile error free, might have been mis-understood. The Espruino Brand and concept are supported by the community to allow for on-going development. Sale of boards along with Patreon contributions.

While I do understand the desire to obtain a much lower cost alternative, that acquisition does come with some caveats, along with a big investment in time. That's the trade off.

The ESP32 is a popular choice but please understand that board falls into the 'Other' board category.

Please read over the eight bulleted list items for the originators position for this category:

'Note: Third party boards are designed, sold and supported by companies who help to support Espruino's continued development.'

It may be that a few sympathetic readers will assist, but I do know from reading over the forums that the few that might quickly respond are busy resolving their own issues. Still, give it a shot, as now that I've gotten over the hump, I see possibilities that I hadn't imagined initially, and also if not for the learning experience.

You might consider this option to get some preferential support:
