(In)stability Notice

Warning This is a beta release of the Viam Micro-RDK. Stability is not guaranteed. Breaking changes are likely to occur, and occur often.

Getting Started

For documentation of the Micro-RDK, see the Viam Documentation.

Debugging

Viewing server logs

The following instructions should be used for viewing server logs from an esp32 in terminal. These logs should be copied and included when contacting Viam support.

Using espflash

To see server logs for an esp32, use the monitor command on espflash:

espflash monitor

Without espflash

In the event that cargo and/or espflash is not installed, the micro-rdk-installer also contains the monitor command and can be downloaded as an alternative. Here is an example using the x86_64-Linux version:

./micro-rdk-installer-amd64-linux monitor
