 Notice that we are using the directive `SMING_ARCH=Esp32`. This directive instructs the Sming build system to build the application for the Esp32 architecture.
 
 Once we have the applications compiled we can flash the compiled application on the ESP32 device using the following command:
+
 ```
 make flash
 ```
 
 This command should be executed on your local computers as this tutorial does not have a real ESP32 device attached to it.
