Seeking PlatformIO Example for ESP-IDF on M5 PaperS3 (Non-Arduino)

sok

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to start a project using the M5 PaperS3 with ESP-IDF (without Arduino) in PlatformIO, but I’m struggling to set up the platformio.ini configuration correctly.

Could anyone share a minimal test project or an example platformio.ini file for the M5 PaperS3 using ESP-IDF? I’ve reviewed PlatformIO’s documentation and existing examples, but they focused on Arduino project.

To set up PlatformIO with ESP-IDF for M5 PaperS3, create a new project in PlatformIO, selecting ESP32 as the board and ESP-IDF as the framework. In platformio.ini, specify the M5 PaperS3 board. Install ESP-IDF if not already done. Write your application code in main.c or main.cpp to interact with the M5 PaperS3’s display or other features. Build and upload the code using PlatformIO’s interface for development.

@peolsolutions
Thank you for your patience. Let me clarify the core issue to ensure we’re aligned:

ESP32-S3 architecture(not generic ESP32),
ESP-IDF framework (no Arduino framework),
M5PaperS3 libraries from M5Paper S3 docs page

What I’ve already try:

Followed M5Stack’s docs, but their examples for Arduino platform and lack S3-specific configurations.
Try combining board = esp32-s3-devkitc-1 (as in M5 Core S3 docs) with espidf and M5GFX & epdiy libraries in platformio.ini file.

So:
If anyone has successfully linked ESP-IDF, ESP32-S3, and M5PaperS3 libraries in PlatformIO, could you share:

Your platformio.ini
Any critical patches or forks of M5GFX/epdiy required for ESP-IDF compatibility.
A minimal project (even just initializing the e-paper display) to start development under board.
