ESP-IoT-Solution contains device drivers and code frameworks for the development of IoT systems, providing extra components that enhance the capabilities of ESP-IDF and greatly simplify the development process.
ESP-IoT-Solution contains the following contents:
- Device drivers for sensors, display, audio, input, actuators, etc.
- Framework and documentation for Low power, security, storage, etc.
- Guide for espressif open source solutions from practical application point.

You can choose any of the ESP series development boards to use ESP-IoT-Solution or choose one of the boards supported in boards component for a quick start.
Powered by 40nm technology, ESP series SoC provides a robust, highly integrated platform, which helps meet the continuous demands for efficient power usage, compact design, security, high performance, and reliability.
ESP-IoT-Solution is developed based on ESP-IDF functions and tools, so ESP-IDF development environment must be set up first, you can refer Setting up Development Environment for the detailed steps.
Please note that different versions of ESP-IoT-Solution may depend on different versions of ESP-IDF, please refer to the below table to select the correct version:
| ESP-IoT-Solution | Dependent ESP-IDF | Major Change | User Guide | Support State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| master | >= v5.3 | New Chips Support | Docs online | New features |
| release/v2.0 | <= v5.3, >= v4.4 | Support component manager | Docs online | Bugfix only，until v5.3 EOL |
| release/v1.1 | v4.0.1 | IDF version update, remove no longer supported code | v1.1 Overview | archived |
| release/v1.0 | v3.2.2 | legacy version | v1.0 Overview | archived |
Since the
masterbranch uses theESP Component Managerto manager components, each of them is a separate package, and each package may support a different version of the ESP-IDF, which will be declared in the component'sidf_component.ymlfile
If you just want to use the components in ESP-IoT-Solution, we recommend you use it from the ESP Component Registry.
The registered components in ESP-IoT-Solution are listed below:
You can directly add the components from the Component Registry to your project by using the idf.py add-dependency command under your project's root directory. eg run idf.py add-dependency "espressif/usb_stream" to add the usb_stream, the component will be downloaded automatically during the CMake step.
Please refer to IDF Component Manager for details.
If you want to Contribute to the components in ESP-IoT-Solution or want to start from the examples in ESP-IoT-Solution, you can get the ESP-IoT-Solution repository by following the steps:
-
If select the
masterversion, open the terminal, and run the following command:git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-solution -
If select the
release/v2.0version, open the terminal, and run the following command:git clone -b release/v2.0 --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-iot-solution
We highly recommend you Build Your First Project to get familiar with ESP-IDF and make sure the environment is set up correctly.
There is no difference between building and flashing the examples in ESP-IoT-Solution and in ESP-IDF. In most cases, you can build and flash the examples in ESP-IoT-Solution by following the steps:
- Change the current directory to the example directory, eg
cd examples/usb/host/usb_audio_player. - Run
idf.py set-target TARGETto set the target chip. egidf.py set-target esp32s3to set the target chip to ESP32-S3. - Run
idf.py buildto build the example. - Run
idf.py -p PORT flash monitorto flash the example, and view the serial output. egidf.py -p /dev/ttyUSB0 flash monitorto flash the example and view the serial output on/dev/ttyUSB0.
Some examples may need extra steps to setup the ESP-IoT-Solution environment, you can run
export IOT_SOLUTION_PATH=~/esp/esp-iot-solutionin Linux/MacOS orset IOT_SOLUTION_PATH=C:\esp\esp-iot-solutionin Windows to setup the environment.
