+1 for support for this. It's a fairly small SDK so shouldn't be too much work, and it's pretty stable now. Unfortunately simply adding the header files in the MDF to the platformio.ini doesn't work. If there's any chance you could look at adding support @ivankravets, it'd be very much appreciated. I've just switched to Platformio and really like it a lot, thank you for all your efforts so far! Unfortunately without ESP-MDF support I'm forced to use Platformio purely as a text editor!

I have started getting esp-mdf to work here: https://github.com/nlcamarillo/platform-espressif32/commits/espmdf

This is all quite new to me, so half of the time I don't know what I am doing. I managed to get some projects compiling. This is what I did:

I copied the esp-idf builder to esp-mdf and added and adjusted paths to make it work, also I added esp-mdf as a framework and as a framework option to the esp32dev board. See the commits for the changes I made and the shortcuts I took (like ignoring some libraries)

Next, I cloned the esp-mdf repo into ~/.platformio/packages/framework-espmdf. Make sure you clone recursively. I guess the repo could also be hosted somewhere else and the package repository added to the platform.json. But I don't know how that works. A PR for this would be appreciated, as it would also solve the next problems:

I merged the sdkconfig of one of my existing esp-mdf (non-platformio) projects with the default sdkconfig of a (platformio) esp-idf project. A lot of items where missing. This can probably be solved by adding a working default sdkconfig and adjusting the copy script in the builder

I copied esp-idf/components/esp32/ld/esp32.common.ld from the esp-idf framework in platformio to the esp-mdf framework. I added bits about _iram_end, soc_reserved_memory_region_start and soc_reserved_memory_region_end. I really have no clue to what is happening in these files, so some info here is appreciated.

Lastly, I adjusted the platformio.ini of my project to

[env:esp32dev]
platform = https://github.com/nlcamarillo/platform-espressif32.git
board = esp32dev
framework = espmdf

So this got my little get_started mdf project compiling and uploaded from platformio. But not working yet. It keeps rebooting on the esp dev board.

I'd like to head your experiences. Maybe this helps taking some steps in the right direction.

Have you had any luck? Your effort looks non trivial. There is another option for the Arduino IDE, PainlessMesh, but it too causes the chips to reboot all the time. If you get the MDF working please update this thread and let us know!

@ussjoin Do you see the 👍 symbol right under the original issue description? Click on it, that is how you do +1 and not by spamming everyone's notifications inbox.
