# Building in Docker
### Prerequisities
- Linux platform
- Docker
- Repository clone (refer to [README.md](/README.md))
No need to install ESP-IDF or anything else. All commands should be run in project root folder.
## Configure, Build and Flash
### Start an interactive IDF environnement
In this interactive shell you can run menuconfig, build, flash and monitor command.
```
docker run --rm -it -v .:/project -w /project -v /dev:/dev --privileged espressif/idf:v5.1.5
```
### Configure
Then in your docker interactive shell, start by configuring for your platform. More info about the config in [README.md](/README.md#config).
```
idf.py menuconfig
```
Save with `<s>` and exit with `<q>`.
### Build, flash and monitor:
```
idf.py build flash monitor
```
<span style="color: orange">If idf.py can't access to USB devices, try to restart your docker interactive shell in sudo.</span>
### Exit
Exit IDF monitor mode: `<Ctrl+]>`
Exit docker interactive shell: `exit`
## Specific actions
If you want to execute a specific command or to generate a reusable .bin file.
### menuconfig
```
docker run --rm -it -v .:/project -w /project -v /dev:/dev --privileged espressif/idf:v5.1.5 idf.py menuconfig
```
### Build
```
docker run --rm -it -v .:/project -w /project -v /dev:/dev --privileged espressif/idf:v5.1.5 idf.py build
```
### Flash
Mapping of serial port to container is not simple in windows but you can merge all generated `bin` files into single firmware and flash the firmware manually using some windows tool.
- [ESP Tool web flasher](https://espressif.github.io/esptool-js/)
- [ESP32 Flash Download tool](https://www.espressif.com/en/support/download/other-tools)
On MacOS / Linux you need to install a small python package, make sure that pip is installed on your machine:
```
pip install esptool
```
After installation you can start the SerialServer with this command:
```
esp_rfc2217_server.py -v -p 4000 dev/serialDevice
```
Create now a new terminal run the docker container and flash it using this command:
```
idf.py --port 'rfc2217://host.docker.internal:4000?ign_set_control' flash monitor
```
#### Merge bins into single firmware bin file
```
docker run --rm -it -v .:/project -w /project -v /dev:/dev --privileged espressif/idf:v5.1.5 //runs terminal in idf container
esptool.py --chip esp32 merge_bin --output firmware.bin @flash_args // merges all bin files into firmware.bin
```
Write `build/firmware.bin` to ESP32 at address 0x0000
--------------------
### More details
```
docker run
--rm // Removes container after exit
-it // runs interactive terminal
-v .:/project // maps current directory to /project in container
-w /project // sets working directory inside a container to /project
-v /dev:/dev // maps devices directory to acces USB and Serial devices inside docker
--privileged // grants docker rights to acces host devices
espressif/idf:v4.3.5 // image name + version
idf.py menuconfig // run menuconfig
```
