Unknown Platform Linux-armv6l (Raspberry pi zero) (IDFGH-11767)

[ZXTube]

Answers checklist.

• I have read the documentation ESP-IDF Programming Guide and the issue is not addressed there.
• I have updated my IDF branch (master or release) to the latest version and checked that the issue is present there.
• I have searched the issue tracker for a similar issue and not found a similar issue.

IDF version.

v5.3-dev-1157-g341a8f2d65

Operating System used.

Linux

How did you build your project?

Other (please specify in More Information)

If you are using Windows, please specify command line type.

None

What is the expected behavior?

Running ./install.sh esp32c3 should install all of the requirements and set up everything needed

What is the actual behavior?

But instead I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/ziyad/esp/esp-idf/tools/idf_tools.py", line 207, in <module>
    CURRENT_PLATFORM = parse_platform_arg(PYTHON_PLATFORM)
  File "/home/ziyad/esp/esp-idf/tools/idf_tools.py", line 202, in parse_platform_arg
    fatal(f'unknown platform: {platform}')
NameError: name 'fatal' is not defined

After research and reading what is in this pull request Use Linux i386/AMD64 binaries on FreeBSD I think that this error is happening because the raspberry pi zero isn't supported.

Also I'm not sure why name 'fatal' is not defined that could be another bug.

Steps to reproduce.

1. Open a raspberry pi zero
2. Make sure it's platform and cpu is Linux-armv6l
3. Git Clone the esp-idf repository
4. cd into the esp-idf folder
5. run ./install.sh esp32-c3 (I think writing all instead of esp32-c3 will also give the same error)

This is what I ran to know the system and machine:

$ python

>>> import platform
>>> print(platform.system() + '-' + platform.machine())
Linux-armv6l

Hi @ZXTube.

Yes, you are right about fatal() not working. We will fix it.

As regarding the Linux-armv6l support, could you please try to add the following line:

 'Linux-armv6l': PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,

at

https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf/blob/master/tools/idf_tools.py#L161C14-L161C14.

Please report back to us if the given hack is sufficient and everything works as should be after installing the tools.

I met same problem. I try adding line as @dobairoland mentioned, but the same error arise.

esp-idf/tools/idf_tools.py

PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32: PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,
'arm-linux-gnueabi': PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,
'Linux-armv7l': PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,
'Linux-arm': PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,
'Linux-armv6l': PLATFORM_LINUX_ARM32,
