How to build firmware

This example for Windows 11 and WSL2

1. Unpack current project to some dir (for me it's: c:\Users\6PATyCb\Downloads\willow\my_git\willow_rus_box3\willow)

2. Start cmd, and go to current project dir for create docker image:

docker build -t willow_idf_5_1_1 .

3. Start cmd and create container from docker image:

docker run -it --rm --name willow -v c:\Users\6PATyCb\Downloads\willow\my_git\willow_rus_box3\willow\:/willow  willow_idf_5_1_1

4. Inside container

run once:

./utils.sh install

then (optional) you can customize esp-idf and Willow. Set wifi SSID, PASS, WAS URL and UI Language

./utils.sh config

then make compile and dist:

./utils.sh build && ./utils.sh dist 

after all that you can get your firmware file at current project dir/build/willow-dist.bin and upload to your ESP32-BOX-3 with Google Chrome by Tasmota web installer using USB data cable. Open Tasmota's Logs & console to configure Wifi and WAS url using console commands.
