Hey everybody, In the release/v3.3 there exists an aws_iot example which does not exist in release/v4.2 of esp-idf. So I copied the aws_iot (thing shadow) example and made desired changes according to my requirement in the thing_shadow.c file and the aws_iot folder in components from v3.3 onto v4.2. But while building the example in the current SDK(v4.2) I am getting the following error.

ERROR:

WARNING: Missing submodule components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C... Attempting 'git submodule update --init components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C' in esp-idf root directory... error: pathspec 'components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C' did not match any file(s) known to git. /home/harshitha/esp32/esp-idf/make/project.mk:672: recipe for target '/home/harshitha/esp32/esp-idf/components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/.git' failed make: *** [/home/harshitha/esp32/esp-idf/components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/.git] Error 1 How would I be able to solve this? Can someone please suggest the desired changes to be done in the current SDK version4.2 in order to solve this problem.

Solution 1: Add "esp-aws-iot" as a component in your SDK

  1. go to where you have the IDF SDK installed e.g C:\ESP-IDF\esp-idf\components
  2. open a command prompt in that directory and get the idf package using this command git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-aws-iot

EDIT: looks like maybe your path where you installed the component is wrong from your post its currently: "/home/harshitha/esp32/esp-idf/components/aws_iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C" Should be: "/home/harshitha/esp32/esp-idf/components/esp-aws-iot/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C"

    Strongly suggest to add the component into your application instead of the IDF itself. You add a "components" folder inside your app directory. More information in the [ESP IDF programming guide](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32/api-guides/build-system.html?highlight=external%20components#example-project). – StrawHat Apr 09 '21 at 07:46
