esptool is for flashing programs to ESPs. To build them we need the ESP-IDF, which bootstraps the compiler toolchain, freeRTOS, network stack, etc., So, the esptool.py alone isn't enough. A version of the toolchain is also in the ports tree, but it's more for Arduino environment. The version is too old to compile the SDK version I need. I'm trying to build ESP-IDF on OpenBSD, but I haven't managed to get it working yet. -- Sadeep Madurange PGP: 103BF9E3E750BF7E
