Description / Steps to reproduce the issue

i tried to build the patched bootloader for esp32-devkitc:knsh it ended up with:

Hi @yamt ,

The kernel versions of the ESP32 are based on the legacy bootloader (a.k.a IDF bootloader), so you need to have the tools ESP-IDF requires to build it properly. That being said, the easiest way to enable ESP-IDF's tooling is exporting the associated environment var, just like described here.

i was using export.sh of esp-idf. which version of export.sh is expected to work?

Any version of the release/v5.1 branch is expected to work. In particular, we have been using commit 1484f2d4f677e3fa41a310bf0952a3a76f69fb76 of ESP-IDF. Don't forget to install the tools used by this version. We test this configuration in our internal CI, so we know that nothing broke about it recently.

Hi @yamt , as I've said previously, we can build it without issues on our internal CI, but I have found that the complete firmware is not booting as expected (HW testing was disabled). I tested it with https://github.com/apache/nuttx/pull/13311 but it still halts during the boot-up.

@yamt @tmedicci is it done? May I close this Issue?
