3.2. Development Environment Configuration

The ESP32 HMI Display supports various development environments. For Arduino IDE, follow these general steps:

1. ആർഡ്വിനോ ഐഡിഇ ഡൗൺലോഡ് ചെയ്ത് ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Obtain the latest version from the official Arduino webസൈറ്റ്.
2. ESP32 ബോർഡ് പാക്കേജ് ഇൻസ്റ്റാൾ ചെയ്യുക: Within the Arduino IDE, navigate to File > മുൻഗണനകൾ. Add the ESP32 board manager URL (സാധാരണയായി https://raw.githubusercontent.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/gh-pages/package_esp32_index.json) to 'Additional Boards Manager URLs'. Then, go to ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ > ബോർഡ് > ബോർഡ് മാനേജർ, search for 'ESP32', and install the package.
3. ബോർഡും പോർട്ടും തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക: Connect the display to your computer using the provided USB-A to Type-C cable. In Arduino IDE, select the appropriate board (e.g., 'ESP32S3 Dev Module' for 5-inch display) under ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ > ബോർഡ് > ESP32 അർഡുനോ. Also, select the correct COM port under ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ > പോർട്ട്. If the port is not recognized, you may need to install the CH340 driver.
4. Configure PSRAM and Partition Scheme: For 5-inch displays, set PSRAM to 'OPI PSRAM' and Partition Scheme to 'Huge App' (or 'Default AAB with spiffs (1.2MB APP/1.5MB SPIFFS)' if not using LVGL) under ഉപകരണങ്ങൾ.

For a visual guide on setting up the development environment, please refer to the official video tutorial:
