Walkthrough

This change adds a new FAQ section to the documentation detailing the process for building multiple configurations in the Espressif-IDE. It provides step-by-step instructions for creating a new project, launching the configuration dialog, navigating the Build Settings tab, and adding specific CMake arguments (-B build_release and -B build_dev). The documentation also explains how to save, duplicate, and execute builds for selected configurations. There are no modifications to the public or exported entities.

Changes

File(s) Summary

Poem

I'm just a little rabbit, hopping with delight,
In the land of code, I find changes bright.
New steps and settings, a documented spree,
CMake commands and guides just for thee.
Hop along, dear coder, your build shines like light!

Chat

There are 3 ways to chat with CodeRabbit:

  • Review comments: Directly reply to a review comment made by CodeRabbit. Example:
    • I pushed a fix in commit <commit_id>, please review it.
    • Generate unit testing code for this file.
    • Open a follow-up GitHub issue for this discussion.
  • Files and specific lines of code (under the "Files changed" tab): Tag @coderabbitai in a new review comment at the desired location with your query. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai generate unit testing code for this file.
    • @coderabbitai modularize this function.
  • PR comments: Tag @coderabbitai in a new PR comment to ask questions about the PR branch. For the best results, please provide a very specific query, as very limited context is provided in this mode. Examples:
    • @coderabbitai gather interesting stats about this repository and render them as a table. Additionally, render a pie chart showing the language distribution in the codebase.
    • @coderabbitai read src/utils.ts and generate unit testing code.
    • @coderabbitai read the files in the src/scheduler package and generate a class diagram using mermaid and a README in the markdown format.
    • @coderabbitai help me debug CodeRabbit configuration file.

Note: Be mindful of the bot's finite context window. It's strongly recommended to break down tasks such as reading entire modules into smaller chunks. For a focused discussion, use review comments to chat about specific files and their changes, instead of using the PR comments.

155-166: New FAQ Section: Detailed Steps for Building Multiple Configurations

The new FAQ section clearly outlines the step-by-step procedure for configuring multiple build setups in the Espressif-IDE. The instructions are detailed and follow a logical order. However, consider adding a brief introductory sentence before the steps to explain the benefits or prerequisites for using multiple configurations, which can provide additional context for new users.


157-160: Configuration for Build Release

The steps guiding users to create a new project, open the Launch Configuration dialog, and enter -B build_release are concise and clear. Including a note or reference to a screenshot (if available) could help users quickly verify that they are in the right dialog or section.


161-164: Duplicating and Modifying the Configuration

The duplicated configuration section is well-described. It instructs users to reopen the configuration dialog and update the CMake argument to -B build_dev, which is straightforward. It may be beneficial to mention that this process can be repeated for additional configurations if required, ensuring users know the approach is scalable.


165-166: Initiating the Build Process

The final instruction to click the Build icon is clear and actionable. For improved clarity, consider adding a tip on where users can verify the output build folder or inspect build logs, helping them confirm the process has completed successfully.
