+ESP-IDF Compatibility
+---------------------
+The user KikyTokamuro indicated in the `issues <https://github.com/siara-cc/esp32-idf-sqlite3/issues/18>`_ that you must do this changes for this component to work with **ESP-IDF v5.X.X**:
+
+* In the file "esp32-idf-sqlite3/CMakeLists.txt" add 'spi_flash' to REQUIRES.
+
+It was tested and work in **ESP-IDF v5.0.2-dirty** and **ESP-IDF v5.1.1-dirty**.
+
+The ESP-IDF version is handled in private_include/esp_idf_compat.h
+
+Without this changes this component should work with **ESP-IDF v4.X.X**.
+
+The `examples <https://github.com/siara-cc/esp32-idf-sqlite3-examples/tree/master>`_ where tested with **ESP-IDF Visual Studio Code Extension v1.6.5**. For them to work I had to do some changes:
+
+* In the file `main/CMakeLists.txt` the line `idf_build_component(esp32-idf-sqlite3)` must be commented.
+* In the file `CMakeLists.txt` (in root)  the line `include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/idf.cmake)` must be commented and  the line `include($ENV{IDF_PATH}/tools/cmake/project.cmake)` must be decomented.
+
+For the case of `sd_spi <https://github.com/siara-cc/esp32-idf-sqlite3-examples/tree/master/sd_spi>`_ example I could not make it work because of changes between version 4.X.X and 5.X.X of ESP-IDF like changing sdspi_slot_config_t to sdspi_device_config_t, which changes the structure of the data.
