Configuring the ESP-WROVER-KIT v4 board

Before we compile and flash our program to the ESP32 board, we should configure our project. In this section, the ESP32 board model is ESP-WROVER-KIT v4. We configure the LCD model and flash size using menuconfig. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Open the Terminal and navigate to your project folder.
  2. Run menuconfig by typing the following command:
$ make menuconfig
  1. You will get a form as shown in Figure 2-9. Select TFT Display DEMO Configuration from this form:

  1. Next, we configure the flash size. Navigate back to the main menu as shown in figure 2-9.
  2. Select the Serial flasher config menu.
  3. Then, select the Flash size option.
  1. After this is selected, you will see a list of flash sizes, as shown in Figure 2-12:

  1. Select 4 MB for flash size.
  2. Save this configuration.
  3. Select Exit to quit menuconfig.

After we run menuconfig, we will get a config file, sdkconfig, as shown in Figure 2-13. Open this file and ensure that this config has a value of CONFIG_SPIFFS_BASE_ADDR= 0x180000. If you have a value 180000 on that config, you should change it to 0x180000:

Now, your program is ready to compile and run in the next section.
