+

 Exit the monitor by typing Ctrl-].
 
 To build, flash and monitor output in one pass, you can run:
 
-`make -j4 flash monitor`
+`idf.py flash monitor`
 
 ## Compiling & Flashing Only the App
 
 After the initial flash, you may just want to build and flash just your app, not the bootloader and partition table:
 
-* `make app` - build just the app.
-* `make app-flash` - flash just the app.
+* `idf.py app` - build just the app.
+* `idf.py app-flash` - flash just the app.
 
-`make app-flash` will automatically rebuild the app if any source files have changed.
+`idf.py app-flash` will automatically rebuild the app if any source files have changed.
 
 (In normal development there's no downside to reflashing the bootloader and partition table each time, if they haven't changed.)
 
-## Parallel Builds
-
-ESP-IDF supports compiling multiple files in parallel, so all of the above commands can be run as `make -jN` where `N` is the number of parallel make processes to run (generally N should be equal to the number of CPU cores in your system, plus one.)
-
-Multiple make functions can be combined into one. For example: to build the app & bootloader using 5 jobs in parallel, then flash everything, and then display serial output from the ESP32 run:
-
-```
-make -j5 flash monitor
-```
-
-
-## The Partition Table
-
-Once you've compiled your project, the "build" directory will contain a binary file with a name like "my_app.bin". This is an ESP32 image binary that can be loaded by the bootloader.
-
-A single ESP32's flash can contain multiple apps, as well as many different kinds of data (calibration data, filesystems, parameter storage, etc). For this reason a partition table is flashed to offset 0x8000 in the flash.
-
-Each entry in the partition table has a name (label), type (app, data, or something else), subtype and the offset in flash where the partition is loaded.
-
-The simplest way to use the partition table is to `make menuconfig` and choose one of the simple predefined partition tables:
-
-* "Single factory app, no OTA"
-* "Factory app, two OTA definitions"
-
-In both cases the factory app is flashed at offset 0x10000. If you `make partition_table` then it will print a summary of the partition table.
-
-For more details about partition tables and how to create custom variations, view the [`docs/en/api-guides/partition-tables.rst`](docs/en/api-guides/partition-tables.rst) file.
-
 ## Erasing Flash
 
-The `make flash` target does not erase the entire flash contents. However it is sometimes useful to set the device back to a totally erased state, particularly when making partition table changes or OTA app updates. To erase the entire flash, run `make erase_flash`.

-Applications developers can use ``make menuconfig`` build target to edit components' configuration. This configuration is saved inside ``sdkconfig`` file in the project root directory. Based on ``sdkconfig``, application build targets will generate ``sdkconfig.h`` file in the build directory, and will make sdkconfig options available to component makefiles.

+Project Configuration Menu
+==========================
+
+Application developers can open a terminal-based project configuration menu with the ``idf.py menuconfig`` build target.
+
+After being updated, this configuration is saved inside ``sdkconfig`` file in the project root directory. Based on ``sdkconfig``, application build targets will generate ``sdkconfig.h`` file in the build directory, and will make sdkconfig options available to the project build system and source files.
+
+(For the legacy GNU Make build system, the project configuration menu is opened with ``make menuconfig``.)
 
 Using sdkconfig.defaults
 ========================
 
 When updating ESP-IDF version, it is not uncommon to find that new Kconfig options are introduced. When this happens, application build targets will offer an interactive prompt to select values for the new options. New values are then written into ``sdkconfig`` file. To supress interactive prompts, applications can either define ``BATCH_BUILD`` environment variable, which will cause all prompts to be suppressed. This is the same effect as that of ``V`` or ``VERBOSE`` variables. Alternatively, ``defconfig`` build target can be used to update configuration for all new variables to the default values.
 
-In some cases, such as when ``sdkconfig`` file is under revision control, the fact that ``sdkconfig`` file gets changed by the build system may be inconvenient. The build system offers a way to avoid this, in the form of ``sdkconfig.defaults`` file. This file is never touched by the build system, and must be created manually. It can contain all the options which matter for the given application. The format is the same as that of the ``sdkconfig`` file. Once ``sdkconfig.defaults`` is created, ``sdkconfig`` can be deleted and added to the ignore list of the revision control system (e.g. ``.gitignore`` file for git). Project build targets will automatically create ``sdkconfig`` file, populated with the settings from ``sdkconfig.defaults`` file, and the rest of the settings will be set to their default values. Note that when ``make defconfig`` is used, settings in sdkconfig will be overriden by the ones in ``sdkconfig.defaults``. For more information, see :ref:`custom-sdkconfig-defaults`.
