This extension allows running programs in QEMU similar to running
them on a real chip:
- 'idf.py qemu' — builds and runs the program in QEMU. User gets
a QEMU instance launched, and can work with it as a normal QEMU
instance.
- 'idf.py qemu monitor' — same, but QEMU is launched in the
background, and idf_monitor runs in the foreground, showing QEMU
output. Compared to only running 'idf.py qemu' this enables, for
example, automatic backtrace decoding.
- 'idf.py qemu gdb' — launches QEMU in the background and opens an
interactive GDB prompt, connecting it to QEMU.
- 'idf.py qemu --gdb monitor' and 'idf.py gdb' in another shell:
launches QEMU in the background, keeps it suspended until GDB is
connected, and opens idf_monitor. GDB can be used in another shell
to debug the application.
Currently idf.py reports just "Please use idf.py only in an ESP-IDF shell environment".
Sometimes it may be useful to know for which module the import failed.
Also the problem does not have to be related to shell environment only, but the
python venv can be corrupted. This adds a little bit more verbose error
message.

Verify that curses tool can be successfully imported on unix systems
When detected:
- installing esp-idf -> reinstall python environment
- using idf.py menuconfig -> raise error with hint message

This commit fixes an issue where paths on Windows are case insensitive, for instance when setting the build folder its name would be converted to lowercase.
The culprit is our realpath() function, that was calling os.path.normcase() internally, since we are removing that call it makes sense to just remove the function entirely and call os.path.realpath() wherever necessary.
Closes https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/issues/10282
The main idf.py process has a handler for SIGINT, which actually just
ignores it. The get_default_serial_port() function is called within the
idf.py context to detect port for several tools(monitor,flash) and it's
not possible to terminate it because of this. Let's ignore SIGINT only
while running idf_monitor, which uses it to spawn gdb.
Fixes: c6e3eb0922 ("idf.py.exe changes to handle Ctrl+C in correct way. H..")

MSYS/Mingw was deprecated since v4.0 and it is removed in v5.0. Please
follow the getting started guide of the documentation to set up a
Windows Command Line or Power Shell based environment.
If Secure Boot is enabled, there's no bootloader flasher arguments in the
project (to encourage careful manual flashing), so this command would
fail with a KeyError.
1. Call cli with explicit argv
When using debugging tools like `pydbg.py --some_arg idf.py -G Ninga
build`, those tools usually call the python script with sys.argv
modified to correct value. But if the cli is called with argv blank, the
cli will get the argv again, and finally get the original command line,
which is incorrect for debugging.
2. Encode the style unicode string back to ascii in menuconfig cmd
On Windows MSYS python2.7, the unicode string set in os.environ will
cause the subprocess creating to fail. All os.environ values should be
strings.
