## Quick Start
* Install [esp-open-sdk](https://github.com/pfalcon/esp-open-sdk/) and make the toolchain available on your PATH. Despite the similar name that project has different maintainers (but we think it's fantastic!)

(Alternative toolchains can also work, as long as a gcc cross-compiler is available on the PATH. The official Tensilica "xcc" compiler will probably not work.)

* The build process uses `GNU Make`, and the utilities `sed` and `grep`. Linux & OS X should have these already. Windows users can get these tools a variety of ways, [MingGW](http://www.mingw.org/wiki/mingw) is one option.

* Build an example project (found in the 'examples' directory) and flash it to a serial port:
```
make -j4 -C examples/http_get flash ESPPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0
make flash -j4 -C examples/http_get ESPPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0

Run `make help -C examples/http_get` for a summary of other Make targets.
The [Build Process wiki page](https://github.com/SuperHouse/esp-open-rtos/wiki/Build-Process) has in-depth details of the build process.
## Goals
* Provide professional-quality framework for WiFi-enabled RTOS projects on ESP8266.

## Binary Components
Binary libraries (inside the `lib` dir) are all supplied by Espressif as part of their RTOS SDK which is MIT Licensed.
Binary libraries (inside the `lib` dir) are all supplied by Espressif as part of their RTOS SDK. These parts were MIT Licensed.
As part of the esp-open-rtos build process, all binary SDK symbols are prefixed with `sdk_`. This makes it easier to differentiate binary & open source code, and also prevents namespace conflicts.
Some binary libraries appear to contain unattributed open source code:
* libnet80211.a appears to be based on FreeBSD net80211, or a fork of it.
* libnet80211.a & libwpa.a appear to be based on FreeBSD net80211/wpa, or forks of them. ([See this issue](https://github.com/SuperHouse/esp-open-rtos/issues/4)).
* libudhcp has been removed from esp-open-rtos. It was released with the Espressif RTOS SDK but udhcp is GPL licensed.
