Everything went fine up to the make. But flashing encountering issues:
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/freertos/latest/userguide/getting_started_espressif.html , says:
./vendors/espressif/esp-idf/tools/idf.py erase_flash -B build
encountered lot of problems to flash, finally found the cause was I ran this from the build folder. Please update the docs. Embarasing that it took me hours to figure it out. So: Build in the build folder and flash from the folder above otherwise the flash tools can’t find the build folder.

Thank you for bringing it up to our attention. An internal work item is created to address this concern.

(Please don’t feel discouraging if not seeing the change immediately. It may take a bit for AWS public doc site get synced with all most recent changes.)
