Espressif ESP32-S3
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The ESP32-S3 is a series of single and dual-core SoCs from Espressif
|
|
based on Harvard architecture Xtensa LX7 CPUs and with on-chip support
|
|
for Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
|
|
|
|
All embedded memory, external memory and peripherals are located on the
|
|
data bus and/or the instruction bus of these CPUs. With some minor
|
|
exceptions, the address mapping of two CPUs is symmetric, meaning they
|
|
use the same addresses to access the same memory. Multiple peripherals in
|
|
the system can access embedded memory via DMA.
|
|
|
|
On dual-core SoCs, the two CPUs are typically named "PRO_CPU" and "APP_CPU"
|
|
(for "protocol" and "application"), however for most purposes the
|
|
two CPUs are interchangeable.
|
|
|
|
Toolchain
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
You can use the prebuilt `toolchain <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s3/api-guides/tools/idf-tools.html#xtensa-esp32s3-elf>`__
|
|
for Xtensa architecture and `OpenOCD <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/esp32s3/api-guides/tools/idf-tools.html#openocd-esp32>`__
|
|
for ESP32-S3 by Espressif.
|
|
|
|
For flashing firmware, you will need to install ``esptool.py`` by running::
|
|
|
|
$ pip install esptool
|
|
|
|
Building from source
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
You can also build the toolchain yourself. The steps to
|
|
build the toolchain with crosstool-NG on Linux are as follows
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG.git
|
|
$ cd crosstool-NG
|
|
$ git submodule update --init
|
|
|
|
$ ./bootstrap && ./configure --enable-local && make
|
|
|
|
$ ./ct-ng xtensa-esp32s3-elf
|
|
$ ./ct-ng build
|
|
|
|
$ chmod -R u+w builds/xtensa-esp32s3-elf
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH="crosstool-NG/builds/xtensa-esp32-elf/bin:$PATH"
|
|
|
|
These steps are given in the setup guide in
|
|
`ESP-IDF documentation <https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/latest/get-started/linux-setup-scratch.html>`_.
|
|
|
|
Flashing
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
Firmware for ESP32-S3 is flashed via the USB/UART or internal USB DEVICE JTAG interface using the
|
|
``esptool.py`` tool.
|
|
It's a two step process where the first converts the ELF file into a ESP32-S3 compatible binary
|
|
and the second flashes it to the board. These steps are included into the build system and you can
|
|
flash your NuttX firmware simply by running::
|
|
|
|
$ make flash ESPTOOL_PORT=<port>
|
|
|
|
where ``<port>`` is typically ``/dev/ttyUSB0`` or similar. You can change the baudrate by passing ``ESPTOOL_BAUD``.
|
|
|
|
Bootloader and partitions
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
ESP32-S3 requires a bootloader to be flashed as well as a set of FLASH partitions. This is only needed the first time
|
|
(or any time you which to modify either of these). An easy way is to use prebuilt binaries for NuttX `from here <https://github.com/espressif/esp-nuttx-bootloader>`_. In there you will find instructions to rebuild these if necessary.
|
|
Once you downloaded both binaries, you can flash them by adding an ``ESPTOOL_BINDIR`` parameter, pointing to the directory where these binaries were downloaded:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ make flash ESPTOOL_PORT=<port> ESPTOOL_BINDIR=<dir>
|
|
|
|
.. note:: It is recommended that if this is the first time you are using the board with NuttX that you perform a complete SPI FLASH erase.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ esptool.py erase_flash
|
|
|

Wi-Fi
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Boards usually expose a ``wifi`` defconfig which enables Wi-Fi. On ESP32-S3,
|
|
SMP is enabled to enhance Wi-Fi performance.
|
|
|
|
A standard network interface will be configured and can be initialized such as::
|
|
|
|
nsh> ifup wlan0
|
|
nsh> wapi psk wlan0 mypasswd 3
|
|
nsh> wapi essid wlan0 myssid 1
|
|
nsh> renew wlan0
|
|
|
|
In this case a connection to AP with SSID ``myssid`` is done, using ``mypasswd`` as
|
|
password. IP address is obtained via DHCP using ``renew`` command. You can check
|
|
the result by running ``ifconfig`` afterwards.
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Please refer to :ref:`ESP32 Wi-Fi Station Mode <esp32_wi-fi_sta>`
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
Wi-Fi SoftAP
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
It is possible to use ESP32-S3 as an Access Point (SoftAP).
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Boards usually expose a ``sta_softap`` defconfig which enables Wi-Fi
|
|
(STA + SoftAP). On ESP32-S3, SMP is enabled to enhance Wi-Fi performance.
|
|
|
|
If you are using this board config profile you can run these commands to be able
|
|
to connect your smartphone or laptop to your board::
|
|
|
|
nsh> ifup wlan1
|
|
nsh> dhcpd_start wlan1
|
|
nsh> wapi psk wlan1 mypasswd 3
|
|
nsh> wapi essid wlan1 nuttxap 1
|
|
|
|
In this case, you are creating the access point ``nuttxapp`` in your board and to
|
|
connect to it on your smartphone you will be required to type the password ``mypasswd``
|
|
using WPA2.
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Please refer to :ref:`ESP32 Wi-Fi SoftAP Mode <esp32_wi-fi_softap>`
|
|
for more information.
|
|
|
|
The ``dhcpd_start`` is necessary to let your board to associate an IP to your smartphone.
