### Supported Chips

Visit the [supported chips](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/getting_started.html#supported-soc-s) documentation to see the list of current supported ESP32 SoCs.

### Decoding exceptions

You can use [EspExceptionDecoder](https://github.com/me-no-dev/EspExceptionDecoder) to get meaningful call trace.

### Issue/Bug report template

Before reporting an issue, make sure you've searched for similar one that was already created. Also make sure to go through all the issues labelled as [Type: For reference](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues?q=is%3Aissue+label%3A%22Type%3A+For+reference%22+).

Finally, if you are sure no one else had the issue, follow the **Issue template** or **Feature request template** while reporting any [new Issue](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/issues/new/choose).

### External libraries compilation test

We have set-up CI testing for external libraries for ESP32 Arduino core. You can check test results in the file [LIBRARIES_TEST](https://github.com/espressif/arduino-esp32/blob/gh-pages/LIBRARIES_TEST.md).
For more information and how to add your library to the test see [external library testing](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/arduino-esp32/en/latest/external_libraries_test.html) in the documentation.

### Contributing

We welcome contributions to the Arduino ESP32 project!
