Set Chip Target

First of all, your target must be supported by both:

• By your ESP-IDF version: For the full list of supported targets, run:

  idf.py --list-targets
  

• By this example: For the full list of supported targets, refer to the supported targets table at the top of this README.

After you make sure that your target is supported, go to your example project directory and set the chip target:

idf.py set-target <target>

For example, to set esp32-P4 as the chip target, run:

idf.py set-target esp32p4

Configure the Project

For information about Kconfig options, see Project Configuration > Name of relevant section(s).

To conveniently check or modify Kconfig options for this example in a project configuration menu, run:

idf.py menuconfig

Set CONFIG_CAMERA_OV5647 to y

Build and Flash

Execute the following command to build the project, flash it to your development board, and run the monitor tool to view the serial output:

idf.py build flash monitor

This command can be reduced to idf.py flash monitor.

If the above command fails, check the log on the serial monitor which usually provides information on the possible cause of the issue.

To exit the serial monitor, use Ctrl + ].

Example Output

If you see the following console output, your example should be running correctly:
