The subproject is inserted as an external project from the top-level project, by the file :idf_file:`/components/bootloader/project_include.cmake`. The main build process runs CMake for the subproject, which includes discovering components (a subset of the main components) and generating a bootloader-specific config (derived from the main ``sdkconfig``).
.. _selecting-idf-target:
Selecting the Target
====================
Currently ESP-IDF supports one target, ``esp32``. It is used by default by the build system. Developers working on adding multiple target support can change the target as follows::
ESP-IDF supports multiple targets (chips). The identifiers used for each chip are as follows:
rm sdkconfig
idf.py -DIDF_TARGET=new_target reconfigure
* ``esp32`` — for ESP32-D0WD, ESP32-D2WD, ESP32-S0WD (ESP-SOLO), ESP32-U4WD, ESP32-PICO-D4
* ``esp32s2``— for ESP32-S2
To select the target before building the project, use ``idf.py set-target <target>`` command, for example::
idf.py set-target esp32s2
.. important::
``idf.py set-target`` will clear the build directory and re-generate the ``sdkconfig`` file from scratch. The old ``sdkconfig`` file will be saved as ``sdkconfig.old``.
.. note::
The behavior of ``idf.py set-target`` command is equivalent to:
1. clearing the build directory (``idf.py fullclean``)
2. removing the sdkconfig file (``mv sdkconfig sdkconfig.old``)
3. configuring the project with the new target (``idf.py -DIDF_TARGET=esp32 reconfigure``)
It is also possible to pass the desired ``IDF_TARGET`` as an environement variable (e.g. ``export IDF_TARGET=esp32s2``) or as a CMake variable (e.g. ``-DIDF_TARGET=esp32s2`` argument to CMake or idf.py). Setting the environment variable is a convenient method if you mostly work with one type of the chip.
To specify the _default_ value of ``IDF_TARGET`` for a given project, add ``CONFIG_IDF_TARGET`` value to ``sdkconfig.defaults``. For example, ``CONFIG_IDF_TARGET="esp32s2"``. This value will be used if ``IDF_TARGET`` is not specified by other method: using an environment variable, CMake variable, or ``idf.py set-target`` command.
If the target has not been set by any of these methods, the build system will default to ``esp32`` target.
