The Golioth Firmware SDK has excellent support for Espressif parts. So, adding Golioth’s device management features to an existing ESP-IDF project is a piece of cake! Simply add Golioth as a component to your build, enable it in the CMake and Kconfig files, and start using the API functions.

A recent blogpost on Golioth’s official website walks readers through the entire process of doing this with an ESP32 development board, although it acknowledges that any of the ESP32 family of chips (ESP32s2, ESP32c3, etc.) will work. Advanced users will also want to review the Golioth Firmware SDK Integration Guide, which is the basis of this post.

Since the above-mentioned blogpost is about adding Golioth to an existing ESP-IDF application, it is assumed that readers will already have the ESP-IDF installed. If not, you may consider following this ESP-IDF quick-start guide before continuing.

In any case, all the details on how to add Golioth to any ESP-IDF project can be found here.
