Windows 11 ARM and ESP Toolchain Installer

Post by macman »

Installing Flowcode on a Windows 11 ARM machine, and have run into a problem running the ESP Toolchain installer, which isn't compatible and refuses to run (x64 architecture only).

Has anyone attempted or knows how to install the necessary components manually please?

You might find a suitable installer on the Espressif website, but we cannot guarantee it will work in conjunction with Flowcode. Perhaps some of our users have had success with these other installers.

Fortunately I remembered that I had the idf-tools and .espressif folders available from another machine, so copying those two folders over, installing Python, Pip and the Visual Studio Tools as mentioned in the Pico toolchain instructions, and adding some Path variables led to a working installation after running the install.bat file from the idf-tools folder.

I'll leave the Pico toolchain install for another day...
