For the strapping pin mapping between the chip and modules, please refer to Chapter 8 Module Schematics. The chip allows for configuring the following boot parameters through strapping pins and eFuse parameters at power-up or a hardware reset, without microcontroller interaction. • Chip boot mode – Strapping pins: GPIO2, GPIO8, and GPIO9 • ROM message printing – Strapping pin: GPIO8 – eFuse parameters: EFUSE_UART_PRINT_CONTROL and EFUSE_USB_PRINT_CHANNEL The default values of all the above eFuse parameters are 0, which means that they are not burnt. Given that eFuse is one-time programmable, once programmed to 1, it can never be reverted to 0. For how to program eFuse parameters, please refer to ESP32-C3 Technical Reference Manual > Chapter eFuse Controller. The default values of the strapping pins, namely the logic levels, are determined by pins’ internal weak pull-up/pull-down resistors at reset if the pins are not connected to any circuit, or connected to an external high-impedance circuit. Table 4-1. Default Configuration of Strapping Pins Strapping Pin Default Configuration Bit Value GPIO2 Floating – GPIO8 Floating – GPIO9 Weak pull-up 1 To change the bit values, the strapping pins should be connected to external pull-down/pull-up resistances. If the ESP8685 is used as a device by a host MCU, the strapping pin voltage levels can also be controlled by the host MCU. All strapping pins have latches. At Chip Reset, the latches sample the bit values of their respective strapping pins and store them until the chip is powered down or shut down. The states of latches cannot be changed in any other way. It makes the strapping pin values available during the entire chip operation, and the pins are freed up to be used as regular IO pins after reset. For details on Chip Reset, see ESP32-C3 Technical Reference Manual > Chapter Reset and Clock. The timing of signals connected to the strapping pins should adhere to the setup time and hold time specifications in Table 4-2 and Figure 4-1.

Peripheral Schematics • To ensure that the power supply to the ESP8685 chip is stable during power-up, it is advised to add an RC delay circuit at the EN pin. The recommended setting for the RC delay circuit is usually R = 10 kΩ and C = 1 µF (such RC delay circuit has already been built into the module). However, specific parameters should be adjusted based on the power-up timing of the module and the power-up and reset sequence timing of the chip. For ESP8685’s power-up and reset sequence timing diagram, please refer Section 4.3 Chip Power-up and Reset. • UART0 is used to download firmware and log output. When using the AT firmware, note that the UART GPIO is already configured. It is recommended to use the default configuration.
