+# Building and running
+
+The main goal of this test is to check whether the compiler/linker generates non-empty sections `.eh_frame` and `.eh_frame_hdr`.
+ 
+Thus, as soon as this example compiles we can considered it passed. However, it will also print the addresses of both sections on the UART.
+
+In order to build and run the example, use the following commands:
+
+```
+idf.py set-target <esp32c3/esp32h2/esp32c2>
+idf.py build
+idf.py flash monitor
+```
