`xtensa-toolchain` Action

An action which installs the Rust compiler fork with Xtensa support, as well as the required toolchain binaries.

The Rust compiler fork with Xtensa support can be found at esp-rs/rust. Pre-built binaries can be found at esp-rs/rust-build, and we install these using esp-rs/espup.

Example workflow

name: CI

on: [push]

# Since `espup` queries the GitHub API, we strongly recommend you provide this
# action with an API token to avoid transient errors.
env:
  GITHUB_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN }}

jobs:
  check:
    name: Rust project
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v3
      - name: Install Rust for Xtensa
        uses: esp-rs/xtensa-toolchain@v1.5
        with:
          default: true
          version: "1.66.0"
          ldproxy: true

      # `cargo check` command here will use installed `esp` toolchain, as it
      # has been set as the default above

      - name: Run cargo check
        run: cargo check

Inputs

This action can be configured in various ways using its inputs:

Name	Description	Type	Default
`default`	Set installed toolchain as a default toolchain	bool	`false`
`buildtargets`	Comma separated list of targets	string	all
`version`	Which version of the toolchain to install	string	latest
`ldproxy`	Whether to install `ldproxy` (required for `std`)	bool	`true`
`override`	Overrides the installed toolchain	bool	`true`

All inputs are optional; if no inputs are provided:

the Rust compiler fork with Xtensa support will NOT be set as the default (but is usable via the +esp toolchain specifier)
all available build targets will be installed
the latest available version of the compiler will be installed
ldproxy WILL be installed; this is required for std
the Rust compiler fork with Xtensa support WILL be set as the override toolchain

Environment

This action uses espup, which calls GitHub API during the installation process. GitHub API has a low rate limit for non-authenticated users, and this can lead to transient errors. See #15 for details.

So, we recommend defining GITHUB_TOKEN, as seen in the example workflow, which increases the rate limit to 1000.

Use with act

act is a tool which can be used to run GitHub workflows locally, using Docker. It is possible to use the xtensa-toolchain action with act; however, due to the fact that espup queries the GitHub API, it is necessary to set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable in order to do so.

For more information please see the GITHUB_TOKEN section of the README for act.
