README for the Espressif ESP32-C3 DevKit
|
|
=======================================
|
|
|
|
The ESP32-C3 DevKit is an entry-level development board equipped with either
|
|
an ESP32-C3-WROOM-02 or an ESP32-C3-MINI-1.
|
|
ESP32-C3-WROOM-02 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1 are SoMs based on the RISC-V ESP32-C3 CPU.
|
|
|
|
Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy
|
|
interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or
|
|
mount ESP32-C3 DevKit on a breadboard.
|
|
|
|
ESP32-C3 Features
|
|
=================
|
|
The ESP32-C3 is an ultra-low-power and highly integrated SoC with a RISC-V
|
|
core and supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy.

ESP32-C3 Toolchain
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The configurations provided are using a generic RISC-V toolchain to build ESP32-C3 projects.
|
|
It can be downloaded from: https://static.dev.sifive.com/dev-tools/riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc-8.3.0-2019.08.0-x86_64-linux-ubuntu14.tar.gz
|
|
|
|
Second stage bootloader and partition table
|
|
===========================================
|
|
|
|
The NuttX port for now relies on IDF's second stage bootloader to carry on some hardware
|
|
initializations. The binaries for the bootloader and the partition table can be found in
|
|
this repository: https://github.com/espressif/esp-nuttx-bootloader
|
|
That repository contains a dummy IDF project that's used to build the bootloader and
|
|
partition table, these are then presented as Github assets and can be downloaded
|
|
from: https://github.com/espressif/esp-nuttx-bootloader/releases
|
|
Download bootloader-esp32c3.bin and partition-table-esp32c3.bin and place them
|
|
in a folder, the path to this folder will be used later to program them. This
|
|
can be: "../esp-bins/esp32c3/"
|
|
|
|
Buttons and LEDs
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
Buttons
|
|
-------
|
|
There are two buttons labeled Boot and RST. The RST button is not available
|
|
to software. It pulls the chip enable line that doubles as a reset line.
|
|
|
|
The BOOT button is connected to IO9. On reset it is used as a strapping
|
|
pin to determine whether the chip boots normally or into the serial
|
|
bootloader. After reset, however, the BOOT button can be used for software
|
|
input.
|
|
|
|
LEDs
|
|
----
|
|
There is one on-board LED that indicates the presence of power.
|
|
Another WS2812 LED is connected to GPIO8 and is available for software.
|
|
|
|
Configurations
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
nsh
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
Basic configuration to run the NuttShell (nsh).
|
|
|
|
gpio
|
|
____
|
|
|
|
This is a test for the GPIO driver. It uses GPIO1 and GPIO2 as outputs.
|
|
At the nsh, we can turn the outputs on and off with the following:
|
|
nsh> gpio -o 1 /dev/gpout0
|
|
nsh> gpio -o 1 /dev/gpout1
|
|
|
|
nsh> gpio -o 0 /dev/gpout0
|
|
nsh> gpio -o 0 /dev/gpout1
|
|
|
|
Building and flashing
|
|
=====================
|
|
|
|
First make sure that `esptool.py` is installed. This tool is used to convert
|
|
the ELF to a compatible ESP32 image and to flash the image into the board.
|
|
It can be installed with: `pip install esptool`.
|
|
|
|
Configure the NUttX project: `./tools/configure.sh esp32c3-devkit:nsh`
|
|
If the project isn't clean, please run `make distclean` before configure.sh or
|
|
run configure.sh with -E option.
|
|
Run `make` to build the project. Note that the conversion mentioned above is
|
|
included in the build process.
|
|
The esptool.py command to flash all the binaries is `esptool.py --chip esp32c3
|
|
--port /dev/ttyUSBXX --baud 921600 write_flash 0x0 bootloader.bin 0x8000 partition-table.bin 0x10000 nuttx.bin`
|
|
However, this is also included in the build process and we can use build and flash with:
|
|
`make download ESPTOOL_PORT=/dev/ttyUSBXX ESPTOOL_BINDIR=../esp-bins/esp32c3`
|
|
The "../esp-bins/esp32c3" path is the path to the folder containing the bootloader and the
|
|
partition table for the ESP32-C3 as explained above.
|
|
Note that this step is required only one time. Once the bootloader and partition
|
|
table are flashed, we don't need to flash them again. So subsequent builds
|
|
would just require: `make download ESPTOOL_PORT=/dev/ttyUSBXX`
|
|
