Help me to choose the correct branch for ESP-IDF v4.4 (CA-284)

Hi! I'm a newbie for esp-aws-iot and I'm trying to understand which branch I should use with my ESP-IDF version.

I'm using the v4.4. There are currently 3 branches available for AWS:

• release/202012.04-LTS supports the release/v4.3 and release/v4.4 versions of ESP-IDF, but it doesn't support release/v5.0
• release/202210.01-LTS supports the release/v4.3, release/v4.4 and release/v5.0 versions of ESP-IDF
• release/v3.1.x supports ESP-IDF v3.1 and above

I can't understand what should I do. In a tutorial I saw it does a checkout to release/v3.1.x because this branch has the most recent updates (infact it has the most recent commits). However the master branch is located in release/202210.01-LTS.

Thank you

Hi @filgra96, release/202210.01-LTS is the latest release of esp-aws-iot and is based on FreeRTOS 202210.01-LTS release. It is compatible with IDF v4.4, making it the right choice for you.

Regarding older releases: release/202012.04-LTS is based on the older FreeRTOS 202012.04-LTS release. release/v3.1.x is based on the older (3.x.x) aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C release.

Thank you for your help @dhavalgujar, I don't think I need any further clarification.
