Power Supply Options There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
• USB Type-C to UART Port and ESP32-C6 USB Type-C Port (either one or both), default power supply
(recommended)
• 5V and GND pin headers
• 3V3 and GND pin headers

Current Measurement The J5 headers on ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 (see J5 in Figure ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 - front)

can be used for measuring the current drawn by the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1(U) module:
• Remove the jumper: Power supply between the module and peripherals on the board is cut off. To measure
the module s current, connect the board with an ammeter via J5 headers.
• Apply the jumper (factory default): Restore the board s normal functionality.

Note: When using 3V3 and GND pin headers to power the board, please remove the J5 jumper, and connect an
ammeter in series to the external circuit to measure the module s current.

Header Block The two tables below provide the Name and Function of the pin headers on both sides of the board
(J1 and J3). The pin header names are shown in Figure ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 - front. The numbering is the same as
in the ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 Schematic (PDF).

Key Component Description

ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 is a general-purpose module supporting Wi-Fi 6 in
2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee 3.0 and Thread 1.3).
This module is built around the ESP32-C6 chip, and comes with a PCB an-
tenna and a 8 MB SPI flash. For more information, see ESP32-C6-WROOM-1
Datasheet.
Pin Header All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the
pin headers on the board.
5 V to 3.3 V LDO Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output.
3.3 V Power On LED Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board.
USB-to-UART Bridge Single USB-to-UART bridge chip provides transfer rates up to 3 Mbps.
ESP32-C6 USB Type-C Port The USB Type-C port on the ESP32-C6 chip compliant with USB 2.0 full
speed. It is capable of up to 12 Mbps transfer speed (Note that this port does
not support the faster 480 Mbps high-speed transfer mode). This port is used
for power supply to the board, for flashing applications to the chip, for com-
munication with the chip using USB protocols, as well as for JTAG debugging.
Boot Button Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates
Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port.
Reset Button Press this button to restart the system.
USB Type-C to UART Port Used for power supply to the board, for flashing applications to the chip, as
well as the communication with the ESP32-C6 chip via the on-board USB-to-

Power Supply Options There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
• USB Type-C to UART Port and ESP32-C6 USB Type-C Port (either one or both), default power supply
(recommended)
• 5V and GND pin headers
• 3V3 and GND pin headers

Current Measurement The J5 headers on ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 (see J5 in Figure ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 - front)

can be used for measuring the current drawn by the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 module:
• Remove the jumper: Power supply between the module and peripherals on the board is cut off. To measure
the module s current, connect the board with an ammeter via J5 headers.
• Apply the jumper (factory default): Restore the board s normal functionality.

Note: When using 3V3 and GND pin headers to power the board, please remove the J5 jumper, and connect an
ammeter in series to the external circuit to measure the module s current.

Header Block The two tables below provide the Name and Function of the pin headers on both sides of the board
(J1 and J3). The pin header names are shown in Figure ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 - front. The numbering is the same as
in the ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 Schematic (PDF).

Power Supply Options There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
• USB Type-C to UART port and ESP32-C5 USB Type-C port (either one or both), default power supply
(recommended)
• 5V and GND pin headers
• 3V3 and GND pin headers

Current Measurement The J5 headers on ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 (see J5 in Figure ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 - front)

can be used for measuring the current drawn by the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module:
• Remove the jumper: Power supply between the module and peripherals on the board is cut off. To measure
the module s current, connect the board with an ammeter via J5 headers.
• Apply the jumper (factory default): Restore the board s normal functionality.

Note: When using 3V3 and GND pin headers to power the board, please remove the J5 jumper, and connect an
ammeter in series between the external power supply and the 3V3 pin header to measure the module s current. This
is because the 3V3 pin header supplies power directly to the module, bypassing the J5 headers. Removing the J5
jumper disconnects unnecessary circuits, allowing for a more accurate measurement of the module s current.

Header Block The two tables below provide the Name and Function of the pin headers on both sides of the board
(J1 and J3). The pin header names are shown in Figure ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 - front. The numbering is the same as
in the ESP32-C5-DevKitC-1 Schematic (PDF).

Power Supply Options There are three power supply methods for the development board:
1. Power supply through the Micro_USB interface
• Use the USB cable (standard A to Micro-B) to connect the motherboard to a power supply device, and
set battery switch to OFF. Please note that in this power supply mode, only the motherboard and display
are powered.
2. Power supply through the USB_DEV interface
• Set DEV_VBUS_EN to high level, and set the battery switch to OFF. This mode can supply power to the
USB HOST interface. The lithium battery will be charged at the same time (if the lithium battery is
installed)
3. Power supply through the battery
• Set BOOST_EN to high level, and set the battery switch to ON. You should solder a 1-Serial lithium
battery (3.7 V ~ 4.2 V) to the power solder joint reserved on the back of the motherboard first. This
mode can supply power to the USB HOST interface at the same time. The battery interface description
is as follows:

USB HOST Interface Power Options The USB HOST interface (Type-A female port) can supply power to the
connected USB device. The power supply voltage is 5 V and the maximum current is 500 mA.
• There are two power supply methods for the USB HOST interface:
1. Power is supplied through the USB_DEV interface, and the 5 V power is directly from the power source
connected to the interface.
2. Power is supplied through the lithium battery, and the 3.6 V ~ 4.2 V voltage of the lithium battery
is boosted to 5 V through the Boost circuit. The working status of Boost IC can be controlled by
BOOST_EN/GPIO13, set high to enable Boost.

Power Distribution

Power Supply over USB There are two ways to power the development board via USB power port.
• Via USB-to-USB port
• Via USB-to-UART port

Independent Audio and Digital Power Supply ESP32-S3-LCD-EV-Board features independent power supplies
for the audio components and ESP module. This should reduce noise in the audio signal from digital components and
improve the overall performance of the components.

AEC Path The acoustic echo cancellation (AEC) path provides reference signals for AEC algorithm.
ESP32-S3-LCD-EV-Board provides two compatible echo reference signal source designs. One is Codec (ES8311)
DAC output (DAC_AOUTLP/DAC_AOUTLP), the other is PA (NS4150) output (PA_OUT+/PA_OUT+). The
former is a default and the recommended selection. Resistors R54 and R56 shown in the figure below should not be
installed.
The echo reference signal is collected by ADC_MIC3P/ADC_MIC3N of ADC (ES7210) and then sent back to
ESP32-S3 for AEC algorithm.

in one single package, which otherwise would need to be installed separately:
• 40 MHz crystal oscillator
• 4 MB flash
• Filter capacitors
• RF matching network
This setup reduces the costs of additional external components as well as the cost of assembly and testing and also
increases the overall usability of the product.
The development board features a USB-to-UART Bridge circuit which allows developers to connect the board to a
computer s USB port for flashing and debugging.
All the IO signals and system power on ESP32-PICO-V3 are led out to two rows of 18 x 0.1 header pads on both
sides of the development board for easy access. For compatibility with Dupont wires, all header pads are populated
with two rows of male pin headers.

Note: ESP32-PICO-KIT-1 comes with male headers by default.

Setup Options This section describes options to configure the ESP32-Ethernet-Kit hardware.

RMII Clock Selection The ethernet MAC and PHY under RMII working mode need a common 50 MHz refer-
ence clock (i.e., RMII clock) that can be provided either externally, or generated from internal ESP32 APLL (not
recommended).

Note: For additional information on the RMII clock selection, please refer to ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.2 Ethernet
board (A) schematic, sheet 2, location D2.

RMII Clock Sourced Externally by PHY By default, the ESP32-Ethernet-Kit is configured to provide RMII
clock for the IP101GRI PHY s 50M_CLKO output. The clock signal is generated by the frequency multiplication
of 25 MHz crystal connected to the PHY. For details, please see the figure below.
Please note that the PHY is reset on power-up by pulling the RESET_N signal down with a resistor. ESP32 should
assert RESET_N high with GPIO5 to enable PHY. Only this can ensure the power-up of the system. Otherwise,
ESP32 may enter download mode.

RMII Clock Sourced Internally from ESP32 s APLL Another option is to source the RMII Clock from internal
ESP32 APLL, see figure below. The clock signal coming from GPIO0 is first inverted, to account for transmission
line delay, and then supplied to the PHY.

To implement this option, users need to remove or add some RC components on the board. For details please refer
to ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.2 Ethernet board (A) schematic, sheet 2, location U2.

Note: Please note that you need to have RMII Clock Sourced Externally by PHY or by an external clock source in
the following cases:
• If Wi-Fi and Ethernet are used simultaneously, the RMII clock cannot be generated by the internal APLL
clock, as it would result in clock instability.
• APLL is already used for other purposes (e.g., I2S peripheral).

clock (i.e., RMII clock) that can be provided either externally, or generated from internal ESP32 APLL.

Note: For additional information on the RMII clock selection, please refer to ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.1 Ethernet
board (A) schematic, sheet 2, location D2.

RMII Clock Sourced Externally by PHY By default, the ESP32-Ethernet-Kit is configured to provide RMII
clock for the IP101GRI PHY s 50M_CLKO output. The clock signal is generated by the frequency multiplication
of 25 MHz crystal connected to the PHY. For details, please see the figure below.
Please note that the PHY is reset on power-up by pulling the RESET_N signal down with a resistor. ESP32 should
assert RESET_N high with GPIO5 to enable PHY. Only this can ensure the power-up of the system. Otherwise,
ESP32 may enter download mode.

RMII Clock Sourced Internally from ESP32 s APLL Another option is to source the RMII Clock from internal
ESP32 APLL, see figure below. The clock signal coming from GPIO0 is first inverted, to account for transmission
line delay, and then supplied to the PHY.

Fig. 183: RMII Clock from ESP Internal APLL (click to enlarge)

To implement this option, users need to remove or add some RC components on the board. For details please refer
to ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.1 Ethernet board (A) schematic, sheet 2, location U2.

Note: Please note that you need to have RMII Clock Sourced Externally by PHY or by an external clock source in
the following cases:
• If Wi-Fi and Ethernet are used simultaneously, the RMII clock cannot be generated by the internal APLL
clock, as it would result in clock instability.
• APLL is already used for other purposes (e.g., I2S peripheral).

GPIO Allocation This section describes the allocation of ESP32 GPIOs to specific interfaces or functions of the
ESP32-Ethernet-Kit.

IP101GRI (PHY) Interface The allocation of the ESP32 (MAC) pins to IP101GRI (PHY) is shown in the table

Note:
1. To prevent the power-on state of the GPIO0 from being affected by the clock output on the PHY side, the
RESET_N signal to PHY defaults to low, turning the clock output off. After power-on you can control RE-
SET_N with GPIO5 to turn the clock output on. See also RMII Clock Sourced Externally by PHY. For PHYs
that cannot turn off the clock output through RESET_N, it is recommended to use a crystal module that can be
disabled/enabled externally. Similarly like when using RESET_N, the oscillator module should be disabled by
default and turned on by ESP32 after power-up. For a reference design please see ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.1
Ethernet board (A) schematic.
2. The ESP32 pins GPIO16 and GPIO17 are not broken out to the ESP32-WROVER-B module and therefore

Start Application Development Before powering up your ESP32-Ethernet-Kit, please make sure that the board
is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage.

Initial Setup
1. Set the Function Switch on the Ethernet board (A) to its default position by turning all the switches to ON.
2. To simplify flashing and testing of the application, do not input extra signals to the board headers.
3. The PoE board (B) can now be plugged in, but do not connect external power to it.
4. Connect the Ethernet board (A) to the PC with a USB cable.
5. Turn the Power Switch from GND to 5V0 position, the 5V Power On LED should light up.

Configure and Load the Ethernet Example After setting up the development environment and testing the board,
you can configure and flash the ethernet/basic example. This example has been created for testing Ethernet function-
ality. It supports different PHY, including IP101GRI installed on ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.1 board.

Summary of Changes from ESP32-Ethernet-Kit v1.0

• The original inverted clock provided to the PHY by ESP32 using GPIO0 has been replaced by a clock generated
on PHY side. The PHY s clock is connected to the ESP32 with same GPIO0. The GPIO2 which was originally
used to control the active crystal oscillator on the PHY side, can now be used for other purposes.
• On power up, the ESP32 boot strapping pin GPIO0 may be affected by clock generated on the PHY side. To
resolve this issue the PHY s Reset-N signal is pulled low using resistor R17 and effectively turning off the
PHY s clock output. The Reset-N signal can be then pulled high by ESP32 using GPIO5.
• Removed FT2232H chip s external SPI Flash U6.
• Removed flow control jumper header J4.
• Removed nTRST JTAG signal. The corresponding GPIO4 can now be used for other purposes.
• Pull-up resistor R68 on the GPIO15 line is moved to the MTDO side of JTAG.
• To make the A and B board connections more foolproof (reduce chances of plugging in the B board in reverse
orientation), the original two 4-pin male rows on board A were changed to one 4-pin female row and one 4-pin
male row. Corresponding male and female 4-pins rows were installed on board B.

Overview ESP32-PICO-KIT is an ESP32-based mini development board produced by Espressif.

The core of this board is ESP32-PICO-D4 - a System-in-Package (SiP) module with complete Wi-Fi and Bluetooth®
functionalities. Compared to other ESP32 modules, ESP32-PICO-D4 integrates the following peripheral components
in one single package, which otherwise would need to be installed separately:
• 40 MHz crystal oscillator
• 4 MB flash
• Filter capacitors
• RF matching links
This setup reduces the costs of additional external components as well as the cost of assembly and testing and also
increases the overall usability of the product.
The development board features a USB-UART Bridge circuit which allows developers to connect the board to a
computer s USB port for flashing and debugging.
All the IO signals and system power on ESP32-PICO-D4 are led out to two rows of 20 x 0.1 header pads on both sides
of the development board for easy access. For compatibility with Dupont wires, 2 x 17 header pads are populated
with two rows of male pin headers. The remaining 2 x 3 header pads beside the antenna are not populated. These
pads may be populated later by the user if required.

Note:
1. There are two versions of ESP32-PICO-KIT boards, respectively with male headers and female headers. In
this guide, the male header version is taken as an example.
2. The 2 x 3 pads not populated with pin headers are connected to the flash memory embedded in the ESP32-
PICO-D4 SiP module. For more details, see module s datasheet in Related Documents.

downloading, serial communication, and JTAG online debugging.

ESP-Prog

This user guide will help you get started with ESP-Prog and will also provide more in-depth information.
ESP-Prog is one of Espressif s development and debugging tools, with functions including automatic firmware
downloading, serial communication, and JTAG debugging. ESP-Prog s automatic firmware downloading and serial
communication functions are supported on ESP8266, ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, and ESP32-C3, while the JTAG
debugging is supported only on ESP32, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, and ESP32-C3.
ESP-Prog can be easily connected to a PC with the use of only one USB cable. Then, the PC can identify the board
s Program and JTAG interfaces (functions) by their port numbers.
Given that the power supply voltage may vary on different user boards, either of the ESP-Prog interfaces can provide
5 V or 3.3 V power supply through pin headers, in order to ensure power compatibility. Power on ESP-Prog could
be toggled between 3.3 V and 5 V, but the RX/TX & JTAG signals will always be at the 3.3 V level.

Controller chip. The board can be configured to convert the USB 2.0 interface to serial and parallel interfaces that
support a wide range of industry standards. ESP-Prog uses FT2232HL s default dual-asynchronous serial interface
mode available after installing the FT2232HL chip driver on their PCs.

Note: The PC is able to identify the ESP-Prog s two ports by their port numbers. The bigger port number represents
the Program interface, while the other one represents the JTAG interface.

Communication Interface ESP-Prog can connect to ESP32 user boards using both the Program interface and the
JTAG interface.
• Program Interface
The Program interface has six pins, including the UART interface (ESP_TXD, ESP_RXD), boot mode selec-
tion pin (ESP_IO0) and reset pin (ESP_EN). The design for the Program interface on the user board should
follow the reference provided in the figure below.
• JTAG Interface
The design for the JTAG interface on the user board should follow the reference provided in the figure below.
• Fool-proof Design
The ESP-Prog board uses header connectors (DC3-6P/DC3-10P) which support reverse-current circuitry pro-
tection. In such cases, it is recommended that users also use header connectors on their user boards, such as
FTSH-105-01-S-DV-* or DC3-*P.

Note: Keying of the plugs and sockets to insert the plug is in one specific orientation, which means each socket
of ESP-Prog corresponds to the plugs on the cable and using a mismatched cable might lead to a wrong order of
connection. Please use the cables provided by Espressif.

Automatic Downloading Function ESP-Prog supports automatic downloading. After connecting the Program
interface of ESP-Prog to the user board, the downloading program can download data or run programs automatically
by controlling the states of the start-mode selection pin (ESP_IO0) and reset pin (ESP_EN), which spares the users
from manually restarting the device and selecting the downloading modes. The two buttons on the ESP-Prog board
enable users to reset and control the boot mode of the device manually.
The schematics of the automatic downloading circuit is displayed below.

Fig. 197: Automatic Downloading Circuit (click to enlarge)

Delay Circuit The delay circuit of ESP-Prog includes the bus buffer, inverter, MOSFET, first-order RC circuit,
and other components. This delay circuit ensures that the ESP32 chip can power up or reset itself before connecting
with the JTAG signal, thus protecting the chip from the influence of JTAG on power-up or reset.

LED Status Indication

• The red LED lights up when the system is connected to the 3.3 V power.
• The green LED lights up when ESP-Prog is downloading data to ESP32.
• The blue LED lights up when ESP-Prog is receiving data from ESP32.

Pin Headers Users can select the power supply for the Program and JTAG interfaces via the Pin Header to Select
Power Supply, and select the boot modes of ESP8266 and ESP32 via the IO0 On/Off Pin.
• Pin Header to Select Power Supply
The pin header in the middle is the power input pin for each interface. When this pin is connected to 5 V, the
power output of the interface is 5 V. When this pin is connected to 3.3 V, the power output of the interface is
3.3 V.
• IO0 On/Off Pin
Pin IO0 can be set to select ESP8266 s and ESP32 s boot modes. This pin can be used as a common
GPIO, after the chip is powered on. By removing a jumper from the pin header, users can disconnect Pin IO0

Now the board is ready for software setup.

Software Setup

Recommended Approach It is recommended to use the ESP-IDF development framework to flash the binary file
(*.bin) to ESP-Module-Prog-SUB-01&04. Please refer to ESP-IDF Get Started to get a quick overview of setting
up your development environment and flashing applications.

Alternative Approach For Windows systems, you can also use the Flash Download Tool to flash the binary files.

Note:
1. To flash binary files, the chip should be set to Firmware Download mode. This can be done either by the flash
tool automatically, or by holding down the Boot button and tapping the Reset button.
2. After flashing binary files, the Flash Download Tool restarts your module and boots the flashed application by
default.

Strapping Pin Configuration J4 on ESP-Module-Prog-SUB-02 is a 2-Pin header, with one end being P5 and one
end being High (i.e. pull-up):
• For some modules, the corresponding pin of P5 is not a strapping pin and no pull-up is needed for downloading.
In this case, a jump cap is not required for J4.
• For some modules, the corresponding pin of P5 is a strapping pin and a pull-up is needed for downloading. In
this case, a jump cap is required for J4.
J5 on ESP-Module-Prog-SUB-02 is a 2-Pin header, with one end being P4 and one end being Low (i.e. pull-down):
• For some modules, the corresponding pin of P4 is not a strapping pin and no pull-up is needed for downloading.
In this case, a jump cap is not required for J5.
• For some modules, the corresponding pin of P4 is a strapping pin and a pull-up is needed for downloading. In
this case, a jump cap is required for J5.

Reference Documentation

Audio
The ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 development board supports audio playback and recording. You can find such exam-
ples under the esp32-s2-hmi-devkit-1/examples/audio/ directory.

Audio Playback The ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 development board can output audio via DAC or PWM. It is
recommended to use PWM for audio output since it has lower noise and higher resolution (DAC has 8-bit resolution,
while PWM can reach up to 12-bit resolution at 19.2 kHz of sampling rate).
The output signal generated through the IO port goes to the digital potentiometer TPL0401 first for lossless volume
adjustment, and then passes the 100 nF isolation capacitor C33 and the 200 kOhm resistor R52. This RC circuit
controls the cut-off frequency at around 8 Hz. On top of that, this signal will be sent to the 3 W class-D audio power

amplifier NS4150 to set the gain to 1.5 times, thus amplifying the maximum output signal from 3.3 V to 4.95 V
(slightly lower than the PA supply, 5 V) so as to maximize the output volume while minimizing saturation distortion.

Fig. 217: ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 audio playback schematic (click to enlarge)

The audio PA is powered by the 5 V power domain. Before using the audio playback function, please make sure this
power domain is powered on (refer to 5 V Power Domain section).

Audio Recording The ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 development board can record audio data from the analog mi-
crophone via an internal ADC.
The board is equipped with an analog microphone with a sensitivity of -38 dB. And it will send the output signal to
the operational amplifier TLV6741 with a fixed gain to amplify the signal.

Fig. 218: ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 microphone schematic (Click to enlarge)

The microphone and operational amplifier mentioned above are powered by a controlled 3.3 V power domain. Before
using the audio recording function, please make sure this power domain is powered on (refer to 3.3 V Power Domain
section).
Please use the Timer Group interrupt to record audio data. Do not use code such as the following format in tasks for
audio recording:
size_t index = 0;
uint16_t audio_data[configMAX_ACQUIRE_COUNT];
do {
audio_data[index] = adc1_get_raw(CONFIG_AUDIO_CHANNEL);
ets_delay_us(1000000 / CONFIG_AUDIO_FREQ);
} while (++index < CONFIG_MAX_ACQUIRE_COUNT)

The above format will cause the CPU to be occupied, thus triggering the task watchdog (if it is not disabled), and
make other tasks with lower priorities (e.g., IDLE Task) not able to operate normally.
When recording data via ADC with the interrupt function, you need to re-write the ADC recording function to
IRAM_ATTR so as to reduce response time, and place the variables to DRAM. Also, please do not use any semaphore
in this function. For more information about implementation examples, please refer to audio/audio_record
under the examples directory.

ADC Accuracy The ADC of ESP32-S2 has a high level of repeatability despite the fact that the lack of reference
voltage and using Buck power supply may result a high overall noise.
The ADC is configured with 13-bit resolution and 11 dB attenuation, corresponding to a full-scale voltage of 2.6
V. After polling the 2.5 V voltage of the AD584T reference voltage via ADC1_CH8, we convert the 4096-time
uncalibrated raw values into voltage values and get the following data:

Fig. 219: ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 ADC (click to enlarge)

As shown in the above figure, most of the uncalibrated data error is within the range of ±0.005 V with a standard
deviation (σ) of 3.339 LSB (0.00106 V). These errors are mainly from the absolute accuracy, i.e., the bias. Therefore,
the distortion and noise of sounds sampled via ADC can be kept at a relatively low level.
The AD584T has a peak output noise of 50 uV at 10 V within the range of 0.1 ~ 10 Hz, and a peak output noise
divided by the internal high-precise laser-adjusted resistor at 2.5 V. And an up to 30 mA push-pull capability is
provided by the transistor measured at 10 V. Its output noise at 2.5 V is lower than the resolving power of a 16-bit
ADC, which therefore can be used as a testing reference.

Display and Touch Panel

The ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 has a 4.3-inch color TFT-LCD with 800×480 resolution, and a touch panel with
an I2C interface. The interface type and data bit width of this display is controlled by programmable pins. This
development board has been configured as 16-bit 8080 parallel communication via resistors.
This LCD uses RM68120 as its display IC and FT5436 as its touch IC.

Communication The display IC of the LCD used in ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 has been configured for 16-bit
8080 parallel communication, with a total of 18 GPIOs used, i.e., 16 data lines (LCD_D0 LCD_D15), a bit clock
signal (LCD_WR) and a data/command distinguish signal (LCD_DC/LCD_RS).
The touch IC uses the I2C interface to communicate with MCU and can share this interface with other I2C s ICs,
and thus does not need to use additional GPIOs. The touch IC supports interrupt signal output. The interrupt signal is
first sent to the P2 pin of the IO expander, and the falling edge from this pin will generate a low level in the interrupt
output pin of the IO expander, so that the MCU receives this interrupt signal. In this case, you can read the input level
register of the IO expander to check whether this interrupt is from the touch IC. Once a read operation completed,
the interrupt flag will be cleared.

Fig. 220: ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 IO expander schematic

Backlight As the LEDs are connected in series, they need to be drived by constant current via the Booster circuit.
The rated current is 18 mA and the voltage is approximately 24 V (may not be accurate, only for reference). To prevent
the feedback voltage of the Booster circuit always being 0 when the display is not connected, and thus causing high
voltage loaded to both ends of the backlight filter capacitor C21, please make sure this capacitor can withstand 38 V.
Since PWM dimming may cause display flicker and some Booster IC do not support high-frequency PWM signal
control, this development board provides an option to use DC dimming circuit to reach high performance, as shown
in the figure below:
This DC dimming circuit inputs the VFB voltage to the operational amplifier TLV6741, whose gain resistor is a
digital potentiometer that can be modified via the I2C bus. This digital potentiometer is CAT5171, with 256 levels
of resolution and a maximum resistance value of 50 kOhm.
The EN pin of the Booster IC is controlled by the P7 pin of the IO expander in high level. If you want to keep the
contents while turning off the display, please set this pin to low level so as to disable backlight.

Touch The capacitive touch panel on the development board uses a touch IC with a resolution of 800×480 and
supports up to 5-point touch and hardware gesture recognition.
The hardware of this display IC does not support screen rotation itself. Therefore, for scenarios where the panel is
needed to be rotated, you may need to convert the data read by the touch IC through calculating its relative value to
the resolution or via certain software. Multi-touch is supported by hardware and we provide some APIs for reading
the multiple touch points. However, since the LVGL used in the GUI library does not support multi-touch processing
for now, you may need to handle the data of these touch points in the application layer yourself.

of the power domain can be controlled by software whereas the other part is configured as permanently enabled in
hardware design.
To reduce current consumption, the preloaded firmware will power off all controlled power domains and put all ICs
to low-power mode.

3.3 V Power Domain Most of the ICs and modules are powered by the 3.3 V power domain, which can be divided
into an uncontrolled 3.3 V power domain and a controlled 3.3 V power domain.
The uncontrolled 3.3 V power domain cannot be powered off via software, and provides power for the Buck circuit.
When there is a power supply from USB, this power domain will obtain power from the 5 V input through the USB
cable; when USB is disconnected, it will obtain 3.6 ~ 4.2 V power from the lithium battery. This power domain
mainly provides power for the ESP32-S2-WROVER module and other devices which can enter low-power mode via
software control.
The controlled 3.3 V power domain comes from the uncontrolled 3.3 V power domain and is turned on/off via a
PMOS control switch, which is connected to the P4 pin of the IO expander. This power domain mainly provides
power for ICs with higher static power consumption and cannot enter low-power mode.

Fig. 223: ESP32-S2-HMI-DevKit-1 IO expander schematic

5 V Power Domain The 5 V power domain of the development board provides power for the audio amplifier and
the TWAI® transceiver. It obtains power from the following resources:
• The USB port
• The power input from external 5 V power port
• The power passing through the Booster circuit from the lithium battery
The power obtained from USB and the external 5 V power input supplies power for all devices (except CP2102N)
that require 5 V power and cannot be disconnected by software. When obtaining power from the lithium battery, the
EN pin level of the Booster IC can be controlled via the P5 pin of the IO expander to enable 5 V power in high level.

The power input through the USB port on the bottom of the board is split into two lines: one provides power for
CP2102N while the other becomes USB_5V after passing through a diode. The CP2102N will only be powered up
when this USB port is connected, since it only needs to be in operation when the PC is connected. Any 5 V power
input will cause the Booster IC to be powered off and charge the on-board lithium battery via the charging IC.

Power Dependencies The following functions depend on the 5 V power domain:

• TWAI® (selects available power supply from USB 5 V or Booster 5 V automatically)
• Audio amplifier (gets power supply from USB 5 V, if it fails, will try from the battery)
• 5 V power output connector (the same as TWAI®)
The following functions depend on the controlled 3.3 V power domain:
• Micro-SD card
• Microphone and its bias circuit, and operational amplifier
• Display and touch function
• WS2812 RGB LED and IR LED
• IR LED

Power State When the development board is connected via the USB cable, the 5 V power domain is powered on
automatically and the charging IC outputs voltage to supply power for the battery. In this case, the controlled 3.3 V
power domain is controlled by the P4 pin of the IO expander.
When the development board is powered by the battery, the controlled 3.3 V power domain is controlled by the P4
pin of the IO expander while the 5 V power domain is controlled by the P5 pin of the IO expander, and the charging
IC will not work.

1.1.31 ESP32-Sense-Kit

The ESP32 touch sensor development kit, ESP32-Sense-Kit, is used for evaluating and developing ESP32 touch
sensor system.

ESP32-Sense-Kit

Overview The ESP32 touch sensor development kit, ESP32-Sense-Kit, is used for evaluating and developing
ESP32 touch sensor system. ESP32-Sense-Kit consists of one motherboard and multiple daughterboards. The moth-
erboard contains a display unit, a main control unit and a debug unit. The daughterboards have touch electrodes in
different combinations or shapes, such as linear slider, wheel slider, matrix buttons and spring buttons, depending on
the application scenarios. Users can design and add their own daughterboards for special usage cases.
The following image shows the whole ESP32-Sense-Kit.

Preparation
• Install overlay
If plastic is used for the overlay, the recommended thickness is 3 mm or less. Because air reduces touch
sensitivity, any air gaps between the daughterboard and overlay must be eliminated. You can use double-sided
adhesive tape to fill in the air gap. For the daughterboard with metal springs, 7 mm stud bolts should be used
to install the overlay.

The display unit includes three segment displays and an RGB circuit. The debug unit includes the ESP-Prog
debugger interface. The main control unit includes the ESP32 module. The mini USB is the power supply.

Fig. 231: Motherboard Components

• Power Management System

The mini USB and ESP-Prog can both be the power supply for ESP32-Sense Kit. They do not interfere with
each other thanks to the protection diode. The mini USB can only serve as the power supply, while ESP-
Prog also supports automatic firmware downloading. The figure below shows the schematics of the power
management system.
• Display Unit
The display unit on the motherboard can intuitively feedback touch event. The three 7-segment displays show
the location of the pad that is being touched and the duration of a touch event. The segment displays are driven
by CH455G chip, and controlled through I2C interface. The RGB LED reflects the colors when a touch event
occurs. When a finger moves on the slider, the RGB LED will show the change of colors.
The figure below shows the schematics of the display unit:

Daughterboard
• Divided resistance
The touch electrodes are arranged in different combinations depending on the application scenario. Each
daughterboard has a voltage divider that has a unique value. The program running on motherboard reads the
divider value through ADC and thus each daughterboard can be identified. The voltage divider is shown below:

Daughterboard Divided resistance (Kohm) ADC reading (Min) ADC reading (Max)
Spring button 0 0 250

Configure Settings When using overlays of different thicknesses or materials, users need to reset the change rate
of touch readings on each channel, that is, the sensitivity. This parameter is calculated from the pulse count value.
The calculation formula is: (Non-touch value - Touch value) / Non-touch value, where Non-touch value refers to
the pulse count value when there is no touch event, and Touch value refers to the pulse count value when a touch
event occurs. Users need to take a measurement and obtain these two values. When the system is initialized, the
touch threshold is automatically calculated from the change rate of touch readings. The touch threshold is directly
proportional to the change rate.
When the change rate is set, users can write it into evb.h file.

Power Supply Management Module The development board can be powered by battery and the AP5056 power
supply management chip can be used to charge the battery. The AP5056 is a complete constant current constant volt-
age linear charger for single cell lithium-ion batteries. It has 4.2 V of preset charge voltage and 1 A of programmable
charge current.
When both the USB power supply and the battery power supply are available, the system selection of power supply
will be: VBUS is high, Q4 is in cut-off state, VBAT (battery power) is automatically cut off from the system power
supply, and the USB supplies power for the system.
The figure below shows the schematics for USB/BAT power supply management.

Power Supply Management for Peripherals First of all, the input from the USB or BAT is converted by the
power management chip into a 3.3 V voltage to power the circuit. The power management chip on the board is
ETA3425, which has an output voltage of 3.3 V and a maximum output current of 600 mA.
The figure below shows the schematics for peripheral power supply.
The main VDD33 circuit has two branches:
• ESP32_VDD33, used to power the ESP32 module module
• VDD33_PeriP, used to power all peripherals.
The connection between them can be controlled via the pin header and jumper cap. The figure below shows the
schematics for ESP32_VDD33.
The VDD33_PeriP branch circuit also has two sub-branches
• VDD33_PeriP_Screen, dedicated power supply for the external screen

Key Component Description

FT2232HL The FT2232HL chip serves as a multi-protocol USB-to-serial bridge which can
be programmed and controlled via USB to provide communication with ESP32.
FT2232HL also features USB-to-JTAG interface which is available on channel A
of the chip, while USB-to-serial is on channel B. The FT2232HL chip enhances
user-friendliness in terms of application development and debugging. See ESP-
WROVER-KIT v4.1 schematic.
32.768 kHz External precision 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator serves as a clock with low-power
consumption while the chip is in Deep-sleep mode.
0R Zero-ohm resistor intended as a placeholder for a current shunt, can be desoldered
or replaced with a current shunt to facilitate the measurement of ESP32 s current
consumption in different modes.
ESP32-WROVER-E This ESP32 module features 64-Mbit PSRAM for flexible extended storage and data
module processing capabilities.
Diagnostic LEDs Four red LEDs connected to the GPIO pins of FT2232HL. Intended for future use.
UART Serial port. The serial TX/RX signals of FT2232HL and ESP32 are broken out to
the inward and outward sides of JP2 respectively. By default, these pairs of pins are
connected with jumpers. To use ESP32 s serial interface, remove the jumpers and
connect another external serial device to the respective pins.
SPI By default, ESP32 uses its SPI interface to access flash and PSRAM memory inside
the module. Use these pins to connect ESP32 to another SPI device. In this case, an
extra chip select (CS) signal is needed. Please note that the voltage of this interface
is 3.3 V.
CTS/RTS Serial port flow control signals: the pins are not connected to the circuitry by default.
To enable them, short the respective pins of JP14 with jumpers.
JTAG JTAG interface. JTAG signals of FT2232HL and ESP32 are broken out to the in-
ward and outward sides of JP2 respectively. By default, these pairs of pins are dis-
connected. To enable JTAG, short the respective pins with jumpers as shown in
Section Setup Options.
USB Port USB interface. Power supply for the board as well as the communication interface
between a computer and the board.
EN Button Reset button.
BOOT Button Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing EN initiates Firmware
Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port.
Power Switch Power On/Off Switch. Toggling toward the Boot button powers the board on, tog-

Allocation of ESP32 Pins Some pins or terminals of ESP32 are allocated for use with the onboard or external
hardware. If that hardware is not used, e.g., nothing is plugged into the Camera (JP4) header, then these GPIOs can
be used for other purposes.
Some of the pins, such as GPIO0 or GPIO2, have multiple functions and some of them are shared among onboard
and external peripheral devices. Certain combinations of peripherals cannot work together. For example, it is not
possible to do JTAG debugging of an application that is using SD card, because several pins are shared by JTAG and
the SD card slot.
In other cases, peripherals can coexist under certain conditions. This is applicable to, for example, LCD screen and
SD card that share only a single pin GPIO21. This pin is used to provide D/C (Data/Control) signal for the LCD as
well as the Card Detect signal read from the SD card slot. If the card detect functionality is not essential, then it may
be disabled by removing R167, so both LCD and SD may operate together.
For more details on which pins are shared among which peripherals, please refer to the table in the next section.

Main I/O Connector/JP1 The JP1 connector consists of 14x2 male pins whose functions are shown in the middle
two I/O columns of the table below. The two Shared With columns on both sides describe where else on the
board a certain GPIO is used.

ESP32-WROVER module features all the functions of ESP32-WROOM-32 and
integrates an external 32-MBit PSRAM for flexible extended storage and data pro-
cessing capabilities.
CTS/RTS Serial port flow control signals: the pins are not connected to the circuitry by default.
To enable them, short the respective pins of JP14 with jumpers.
UART Serial port. The serial TX/RX signals of FT2232 and ESP32 are broken out to the
inward and outward sides of JP11 respectively. By default, these pairs of pins are
connected with jumpers. To use ESP32 s serial interface, remove the jumpers and
connect another external serial device to the respective pins.
SPI By default, ESP32 uses its SPI interface to access flash and PSRAM memory inside
the module. Use these pins to connect ESP32 to another SPI device. In this case,
an extra chip select (CS) signal is needed. Please note that the interface voltage for
the version with ESP32-WROVER is 1.8V, while that for the version with ESP32-
WROOM-32 is 3.3 V.
JTAG JTAG interface. JTAG signals of FT2232 and ESP32 are broken out to the inward
and outward sides of JP8 respectively. By default, these pairs of pins are discon-
nected. To enable JTAG, short the respective pins with jumpers as shown in Section
Setup Options.
FT2232 The FT2232 chip serves as a multi-protocol USB-to-serial bridge which can be pro-
grammed and controlled via USB to provide communication with ESP32. FT2232
features USB-to-UART and USB-to-JTAG functionalities.

Allocation of ESP32 Pins Some pins/terminals of ESP32 are allocated for use with the onboard or external hard-
ware. If that hardware is not used, e.g., nothing is plugged into the Camera (JP4) header, then these GPIOs can be
used for other purposes.
Some of the pins, such as GPIO0 or GPIO2, have multiple functions and some of them are shared among onboard
and external peripheral devices. Certain combinations of peripherals cannot work together. For example, it is not
possible to do JTAG debugging of an application that is using SD card, because several pins are shared by JTAG and
the SD card slot.
In other cases, peripherals can coexist under certain conditions. This is applicable to, for example, LCD screen and
SD card that share only a single pin GPIO21. This pin is used to provide D/C (Data/Control) signal for the LCD as
well as the CD (Card Detect) signal read from the SD card slot. If the card detect functionality is not essential, then
it may be disabled by removing R167, so both LCD and SD may operate together.
For more details on which pins are shared among which peripherals, please refer to the table in the next section.

Main I/O Connector/JP1 The JP1 connector consists of 14x2 male pins whose functions are shown in the middle
two I/O columns of the table below. The two Shared With columns on both sides describe where else on the
board a certain GPIO is used.

1.1.37 Contributions Guide

We welcome contributions to the esp-dev-kits project!

How to Contribute

Contributions to esp-dev-kits - fixing bugs, adding features, adding documentation - are welcome. We accept contri-
butions via Github Pull Requests.

Before Contributing

Before sending us a Pull Request, please consider this list of points:

• Is the contribution entirely your own work, or already licensed under an Apache License 2.0 compatible Open
Source License? If not then we unfortunately cannot accept it.
• Does any new code conform to the esp-dev-kits : Style Guide ?
• Does the code documentation follow requirements in Documenting-code ?
• Is the code adequately commented for people to understand how it is structured?
• Are comments and documentation written in clear English, with no spelling or grammar errors?
• If the contribution contains multiple commits, are they grouped together into logical changes (one major change
per pull request)? Are any commits with names like fixed typo squashed into previous commits?
• If you re unsure about any of these points, please open the Pull Request anyhow and then ask us for feedback.

Pull Request Process

After you open the Pull Request, there will probably be some discussion in the comments field of the request itself.
Once the Pull Request is ready to merge, it will first be merged into our internal git system for in-house automated
testing.
If this process passes, it will be merged onto the public github repository.

Legal Part

Before a contribution can be accepted, you will need to sign our contributor-agreement. You will be prompted for
this automatically as part of the Pull Request process.
