ESPRESSIF ESP32-C6-DEVKITC-1-V1.2 N8

This section provides a brief introduction of ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1, instructions on how to do the initial hardware setup and how to flash firmware onto it.

Description of Components

ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 - front

The key components of the board are described in a clockwise direction.

Start Application Development

Before powering up your ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1, please make sure that it is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage.

Required Hardware

• ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1

• USB-A to USB-C cable

• Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS

Software Setup

Please proceed to ESP-IDF Get Started, which will quickly help you set up the development environment then flash an application example onto your board.

Contents and Packaging

Retail orders

If you order a few samples, each ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 comes in an individual package in either antistatic bag or any packaging depending on your retailer.

For retail orders, please go to https://www.espressif.com/en/company/contact/buy-a-sample.

Wholesale Orders

If you order in bulk, the boards come in large cardboard boxes.

For wholesale orders, please check Espressif Product Ordering Information (PDF)

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.

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).

J1

J3

1

P: Power supply; I: Input; O: Output; T: High impedance.

2

Used to drive the RGB LED.

3(1,2,3,4,5)

MTMS, MTDI, GPIO8, GPIO9, and GPIO15 are strapping pins of the ESP32-C6 chip. These pins are used to control several chip functions depending on binary voltage values applied to the pins during chip power-up or system reset. For description and application of the strapping pins, please refer to ESP32-C6 Datasheet > Section Strapping Pins.

Hardware Revision Details

ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 v1.2

• For boards with the PW number of and after PW-2023-02-0139 (on and after February 2023), J5 is changed from straight headers to curved headers.

• For boards with the PW number of and after PW-2023-07-XXXX (on and after July 2023), multi-point calibration is performed on ADC instead of two-point calibration, and the measurement range and accuracy are illustrated in ESP32-C6 Datasheet > Section ADC Characteristics. For boards with eariler PW number, please ask our sales team to provide the actual range and accuracy according to batch.

• For boards with the PW number of and after PW-2023-07-0440 (on and after July 2023), to optimize the WS2812 driving circuit, the resistance of R29 is updated from 4.7 kΩ to 10 kΩ, and the resistance of R6 is updated from 10 kΩ to 3.3 kΩ. For details, see
