Masterboard make menuconfig issues & flashing red

Electronics
1

Hello! I recently was able to successfully flash a masterboard v2 (with the caveat of having to manually change the default baud rates in esp-idf to 115200 bps instead of 2Mbps).

I was also able to successfully view the results of ‘make monitor’ with the same readout as seen in this very useful blogpost [https://easybuildtech.com/odri-bolt-preparing-the-masterboard-v2/] from Easy Build Technology.

However, when I try make menuconfig I am faced with the following error:

Toolchain path: /home/roy/.espressif/tools/xtensa-esp32-elf/esp-2019r2-8.2.0/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin/xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc

I noticed that there was a github issue that also mentioned this, but there is no reply. My masterboard is also flashing red unlike in Easy Build Tech’s blogpost and I’m not sure why/if that is a bad thing.

I have not yet tested the masterboard with an ethernet cord connected (still making the robot interface cable) and I am not sure if I need one for make menuconfig to interact correctly.

Thank you!

Hello,

The fact that menuconfig is broken with the new idf + previous commit in unfortunate and frustrating,
If someone finds a solution, I would be very happy to merge it.

For your particular issue, you don’t really have to change anything in menuconfig I think. For Easy Build Tech’s blogpost, He had to change the baudrate because the programmer board he used had a low speed usb uart chipset not able to reach the default 2Mbps.
