Terms of Use for Development Board The development board is intended for R&D evaluation, engineering design verification, and early-stage product development. It is provided as a convenient platform for development and testing. The development board is not intended as a mass-production component or as a finished product for end consumers; therefore, its product management approach differs from that of mass-produced chips and modules. The development board has not obtained specific national or industry certifications and is not covered under regulatory frameworks such as CE, UL, or CCC. As a result, it may not meet the requirements of such regulations. Users should ensure that their use of the development board complies with the applicable laws and regulations of the country or region in which it is used. In addition, the development board has not been designed, validated, or managed for reliability testing, production, or commercial deployment purposes. Users assume full responsibility for the correct and safe use of the product. For applications beyond the intended use of the development board, including but not limited to pre-production testing, system integration, final product delivery, or other commercial uses, the user should, before mass production and in light of its own product requirements, fully evaluate the technical suitability, reliability requirements, regulatory compliance, and system integration risks associated with such applications. The user should also complete all necessary verification, testing, and certification activities relating to system-level design, product certification, reliability validation, regulatory compliance assessment, and commercial deployment. Espressif assumes no liability arising from applications beyond the intended use of the development board. Regardless of whether the parties have entered into a supplier framework agreement, quality agreement, or any other similar agreement, the development board is not subject to any requirements or commitments therein relating to product certification, reliability management, return material analysis (RMA), product/process change notification (PCN), end-of-life (EOL) management, long-term supply commitments, or any other requirements and commitments established under a mass-production product management model.

Getting Started This section provides a brief introduction of ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1, instructions on how to do the initial hardware setup and how to flash firmware onto it. Description of Components ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 (with the ESP32-C3-MINI-1 module) - front The key components of the board are described in a counter-clockwise direction. Key Component Description ESP32-C3-MINI-1 or ESP32-C3-MINI-1U ESP32-C3-MINI-1 and ESP32-C3-MINI-1U are general-purpose Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy combo modules. ESP32-C3-MINI-1 comes with an on-board PCB antenna, whereas ESP32-C3-MINI-1U comes with an external antenna connector. They both have a flash of 4 MB, integrated inside the chip’s package. 5 V to 3.3 V LDO Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output. 5 V Power On LED Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board. Pin Headers All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the pin headers on the board. For details, please see Header Block. Boot Button Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port. Micro-USB Port USB interface. Power supply for the board as well as the communication interface between a computer and the ESP32-C3 series of chips. Reset Button Press this button to restart the system. USB-to-UART Bridge Single USB-UART bridge chip provides transfer rates up to 3 Mbps. RGB LED Addressable RGB LED, driven by GPIO8. Start Application Development Before powering up your ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1, please make sure that it is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage. Required Hardware ESP32-C3-DevKitM-1 USB 2.0 cable (Standard-A to Micro-B) Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS Note Be sure to use an appropriate USB cable. Some cables are for charging only and do not provide the needed data lines nor work for programming the boards. 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.
