@jiapei100 Are you executing idf.py from IDF_PATH? If so please execute the build from a project directory such as examples/get-started/hello_world.

@HenriquePereiraRosa This looks like a different problem from @jiapei100's. Is xtensa-esp32-elf-gcc in your PATH?

[HenriquePereiraRosa]

@renzbagaporo You are Right. My mistake. A reinstaled the esp-tool but forgot to start another CMD instance. Solved here.

[renzbagaporo]

Closing this issue @jiapei100, then.
