Solution Description

The ESP-IDF Plugin for Eclipse (also known as Espressif-IDE) is based on Eclipse CDT and is used for developing applications on the ESP32. The ESP32 is a popular low-power system-on-chip microcontroller with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth, making it ideal for designing and prototyping IoT solutions. The ESP-IDF Plugin enhances standard Eclipse CDT by providing improved tooling capabilities, simplifying and enhancing advanced editing, compiling, flashing, and debugging features.

Other notable features this plugin offers.

  • Creating CMake-based projects with ESP-IDF 5.0 and higher
  • Get started with ESP-IDF templates  
  • Installing Tools directly from Eclipse
  • SDK Configuration editor for configuring the project
  • Integrated CMake editor to support IDF built-in functions
  • Application size analysis editor to give an insight into the memory footprint of an application
  • ESP-IDF terminal pre-configured with IDF environment variables
  • OpenOCD debugging

This is an open-source project you can check the project source here https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin
