||
====================================
|
||
|
||
This user guide shows how to get started with ESP-WROVER-KIT development board.
|
||
|
||
|
||
What You Need
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
* 1 × ESP-WROVER-KIT board
|
||
* 1 × USB A / mini USB B cable
|
||
* 1 × PC loaded with Windows, Linux or Mac O/S
|
||
|
||
|
||
The Board
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
This section describes functionality of ESP-WROVER-KIT board and configuration options. If you like to start using it now, go directly to section :ref:`esp-wrover-start-development`
|
||
|
||
|
||
Overview
|
||
^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
The ESP-WROVER-KIT is a development board produced by `Espressif <http://espressif.com>`_ built around ESP32. This board is compatible with ESP32 modules, including the ESP-WROOM-32 and ESP32-WROVER. The ESP-WROVER-KIT features support for an LCD and MicroSD card. The I/O pins have been broken out from the ESP32 module for easy extension. The board carries an advanced multi-protocol USB bridge (the FTDI FT2232HL), enabling developers to use JTAG directly to debug the ESP32 through the USB interface. The development board makes secondary development easy and cost-effective.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
ESP-WROVER-KIT integrates the ESP-WROOM-32 module, while ESP-WROVER-KIT-RVB integrates the ESP32-WROVER. Both ESP-WROVER-KIT and ESP-WROVER-KIT-RVB have the same baseboard. The only difference is the module.

Functional Description
|
||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||
|
||
The following list and figures below describe key components, interfaces and controls of ESP-WROVER-KIT board.
|
||
|
||
32.768 kHz
|
||
An external precision 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator provides the chip with a clock of low-power consumption during the Deep-sleep mode.
|
||
ESP32 Module
|
||
ESP-WROVER-KIT is compatible with both ESP-WROOM-32 and ESP32-WROVER. The ESP32-WROVER module features all the functions of ESP-WROOM-32 and integrates an external 32-MBit PSRAM for flexible extended storage and data processing capabilities.
|
||
|
||
.. note::
|
||
|
||
GPIO16 and GPIO17 are used as the CS and clock signal for PSRAM. To ensure reliable performance, the two GPIOs are not broken out.
|
||
|
||
CTS/RTS
|
||
Serial port flow control signals: the pins are not connected to the circuitry by default. To enable them, respective pins of JP14 must be shorted with jumpers.
|
||
UART
|
||
Serial port: the serial TX/RX signals on FT2232HL and ESP32 are broken out to the two sides of JP11. By default, the two signals are connected with jumpers. To use the ESP32 module serial interface only, the jumpers may be removed and the module can be connected to another external serial device.
|
||
SPI
|
||
SPI interface: the SPI interface connects to an external flash (PSRAM). To interface another SPI device, an extra CS signal is needed. If an ESP32-WROVER is being used, please note that the electrical level on the flash and SRAM is 1.8V.
|
||
JTAG
|
||
JTAG interface: the JTAG signals on FT2232HL and ESP32 are broken out to the two sides of JP8. By default, the two signals are disconnected. To enable JTAG, shorting jumpers are required on the signals.
|
||
FT2232
|
||
FT2232 chip is a multi-protocol USB-to-serial bridge. The FT2232 chip features USB-to-UART and USB-to-JTAG functionalities. Users can control and program the FT2232 chip through the USB interface to establish communication with ESP32.
|
||
|
||
The embedded FT2232 chip is one of the distinguishing features of the ESPWROVER-KIT. It enhances users’ convenience in terms of application development and debugging. In addition, uses do not need to buy a JTAG debugger separately, which reduces the development cost. The schematics is provided in section :ref:`wrover-kit-related-documents`.
|
||
EN
|
||
Reset button: pressing this button resets the system.
|
||
Boot
|
||
Download button: holding down the **Boot** button and pressing the **EN** button initiates the firmware download mode. Then user can download firmware through the serial port.
|
||
USB
|
||
USB interface. It functions as the power supply for the board and the communication interface between PC and ESP32 module.
|
||
Power Select
|
||
Power supply selection interface: the ESP-WROVER-KIT can be powered through the USB interface or the 5V Input interface. The user can select the power supply with a jumper. More details can be found in section :ref:`esp-wrover-setup-options`, jumper header JP7.
|
||
Power Key
|
||
Power on/off button: toggling to the right powers the board on; toggling to the left powers the board off.
|
||
5V Input
|
||
The 5V power supply interface is used as a backup power supply in case of full-load operation.
|
||
LDO
|
||
NCP1117(1A). 5V-to-3.3V LDO. (There is an alternative pin-compatible LDO — LM317DCY, with an output current of up to 1.5A). NCP1117 can provide a maximum current of 1A. The LDO solutions are available with both fixed output voltage and variable output voltage. For details please refer to `ESP-WROVER-KIT schematic`_.
|
||
Camera
|
||
Camera interface: a standard OV7670 camera module is supported.
|
||
RGB
|
||
Red, green and blue (RGB) light emitting diodes (LEDs), which may be controlled by pulse width modulation (PWM).
|
||
I/O
|
||
All the pins on the ESP32 module are led out to the pin headers on the ESPWROVER-KIT. Users can program ESP32 to enable multiple functions such as PWM, ADC, DAC, I2C, I2S, SPI, etc.
|
||
|
||
Micro SD Card
|
||
Micro SD card slot for data storage: when ESP32 enters the download mode, GPIO2 cannot be held high. However, a pull-up resistor is required on GPIO2 to enable the Micro SD Card. By default, GPIO2 and the pull-up resistor R153 are disconnected. To enable the SD Card, use jumpers on JP1 as shown in section :ref:`esp-wrover-setup-options`.
|
||
LCD
|
||
ESP-WROVER-KIT supports mounting and interfacing a 3.2” SPI (standard 4-wire Serial Peripheral Interface) LCD, as shown on figure :ref:`esp-wrover-board-back`.
