Hi all!
I’m trying to use my ESP32-H2 boards with ESPHome, given that it now support OpenThread.
I’m running ESPHome 2025.7.3 CLI from the docker container since I don’t need an always running service just to flash a few boards.
here’s my starting configuration
esphome:
name: test-sensors
firandly_name: Test Sensors
esp32:
board: esp32-h2-devkitm-1
variant: esp32h2
framework:
type: esp-idf
if I run
podman run --rm --prvileged -v "${PWD}:/config -it ghcr.io/esphome/esphome compile test-sensors.yaml
I got the following
INFO ESPHome 2025.7.3
INFO Reading configuration test-sensors.yaml...
INFO Generating C++ source...
INFO Compiling app...

indeed head-ref is not present at that folder.
I tried to change esp-idf version and platform_version to more recent version (like 5.4.2 and 54.03.21 respectively), but the error stays the same.
I’ve tried to use the clean command and remove the .esphome folder entirely, but nothing changed.
Is there something obvious that I’m missing?
