Semver.c ESP IDF Component

Packaging libs For EspressIf IDF Components.

While working with EspressIf IDF, I encountered a situation where I couldn’t find the semver component I needed. To overcome this hurdle, I took the existing semver.c and wrapped it specifically for EspressIf IDF components.

The solution was quite straightforward: I added the source project as a git submodule and included a manifest file called idf_component.yml. However, when I attempted to publish the component compote component upload, I encountered an error message stating:

ERROR: Failed to get API Token from the config file

Turns out, the EspressIf IDF Components Registry we’ve been working with is a private ecosystem ⚠️. More info here https://github.com/espressif/idf-component-manager/issues/4.

Workaround - Simply Use GitHub Directly!

For example, add semver dependency to idf_component.yml:

dependencies:
  espressif/led_strip: "*"
  idf:
    version: ">=5"
  semver:
    path: .
    git: ssh://git@github.com/stan-kondrat/semver-esp-component.git

After thar reconfigure project:

idf.py reconfigure

What’s next

I have a plan to share the work I do at my day job by publishing it as EspressIf IDF components.

Stay tuned for more updates and exciting developments on my ESP32 journey. I am eagerly looking forward to sharing more exciting discoveries, overcoming challenges. Until then, happy hacking! 👩‍💻🚀
