The official documentation from AWS seems to be on CLI which is quite limitation with code completation, debug and platform / library management etc. If Platform IO is not the choice, please suggest other good IDE. I am on Mac with a fleet of TTGO T-Beam ESP32 development board. ---

Espressif supports make build system and that is why it is CLI based as described in AWS documentation. Thank you for your suggestion about PlatformIO IDE. Edited by: prasadvya on Mar 28, 2019 1:47 PM
