4. Compiling, Downloading, and Debugging
4.1. Set Up the Compiling Environment
The current compiling environment is set up in Lubuntu System, and is entirely merged into a virtual
box. Please refer to the post on Espressif BBS for the downloading of compiling environment: http://
bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=2
On how to compile and download: http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=165
Please refer to[ESP8266_GCC_LUBUNTU.docx] on how to set up and configure when the
compiling system has been downloaded successfully. A Windows sharing folder should also be set
up before we run the virtual box. When the configuration and set up of the sharing folder is ready,
open the virtual box, and you can see this page as is shown in Figure 19 below:
• Click “LXTerminal”
Figure 19 Compiling Tool
• Input ./mount.sh, and password espressif
Please be noted that no hint will pop up when you enter the password, just click Enter Key when you
finished the input. Now, the sharing folder in Windows system is uploaded to Lubuntu Systems.
