• Click Platforms -> Embedded -> search Espressif 32 in the input box -> select the corresponding firmware installation

Udev Setup (Linux)

If your board isn't present on the device tree, create a file with this content:

$ sudo cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-lilygo.rules

SUBSYSTEM=="tty", GROUP="plugdev". MODE="0660"
SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="55d4", ATTRS{idVendor}=="1a86", SYMLINK+="lilygo"

Then reload the rules as follow:

sudo udevadm control --reload-rules && sudo service udev restart && sudo udevadm trigger

Un-plug your Lilygo then plug it back, the device should be accessible on /dev/lilygo

Q&A

1. CAN bus protocol does not work properly.

• A:Depending on the ESP32 chip, the CAN controller register IER parameter needs to be changed. If it is a V3 version chip, you can use 0xEF, otherwise, use 0xFF.
