esp32/README: Update toolchain setup. #238

Closed aykevl closed 6 years ago

aykevl commented 6 years ago

It looks like the README expected the toolchain to be built from scratch while the upstream documentation describes a precompiled toolchain downloaded from the Espressif website. I hope the new instructions are correct, but I've just started working on the esp32 port so I don't really know.

edit: I think we should use the binary toolchain, that toolchain is probably better tested and it saves a lot of hassle and time to set up a build environment.

fixes #237

Right, it should be ok to use the pre-compiled toolchain. I'm using it without any issue.
