Espressif Systems Audio Development Framework (ESP-ADF) is the official audio development framework for the ESP32 chip.
ESP-ADF supports development of audio applications for the Espressif Systems ESP32 chip in the most comprehensive way. With ESP-ADF, you can easily add features, develop audio applications from simple to complex:
- Music player or recorder supports audio formats such as MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, OPUS, AMR, TS, EQ, Downmixer, Sonic, ALC, G.711...
- Play music from sources: HTTP, HLS(HTTP Live Streaming), SPIFFS, SDCARD, A2DP-Source, A2DP-Sink, HFP ...
- Integrate Media services such as: DLNA, VoIP ...
- Internet Radio
- Voice recognition and integration with online services such as Alexa, DuerOS, ...
As a general, the ESP-ADF features will be supported as shown below:
You need stable version of ESP-IDF to provide the toolchain, the ESP32-LyraT board and headphone connected.
Note: If this is your first exposure to ESP32 and ESP-IDF, proceed to Getting Started documentation.
Clone the ESP-ADF repository, set up ADF_PATH
, and then compile, flash and monitor applications in the same way as when working with ESP-IDF.
git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-adf.git
cd esp-adf/examples/get-started/play_mp3
make menuconfig
make flash monitor
If you clone project without --recursive
flag, please goto the esp-adf
directory and run command git submodule update --init
before doing anything.
