This is my first post in this forum. I hope I am following forum rules, but in case of any negligence on my part please forgive.

I've recently bought this amazing board branded with Amica. It has CP2102 and can be powered from USB.

I want to use freertos sdk. I have downloaded it as a zip from :
https://github.com/espressif/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK

Next I have followed Readme.pdf from this google drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B5bwBE9A5dBXaExvdDExVFNrUXM

I have virtualbox 5.1.10 and have created a machine with ESP8266_lubuntu_20141021.ova from the google drive.

Unfortunately I am unable to follow it further since there's no folder called "app" in the sdk. Nor can I find any gen_misc.sh file there.

When I try to give make command I get below error:

Code: Select allesp8266@esp8266-VirtualBox:~/Share/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master$ BIN_PATH=/home/esp8266/Share/ESP8266_RTOS_SDK-master/bin

Lot of questions coming to mind at this moment:
- Am I following correct documentation
- Is there a good/better startup reference for the version of RTOS SDK(which is latest) I am using ?
- Is the readme and the latest rtos sdk are in sync ?

Please help me.

Yes. You need to run mount.sh first to mount the shared folder first. Its needed on every reboot of the VM.
