  1. ESP32-DevKitC Getting Started Guide
  2. ===================================
  3. This user guide shows how to get started with ESP32-DevKitC development board.
  4. What You Need
  5. -------------
  6. * 1 × ESP32-DevKitC board
  7. * 1 × USB A / micro USB B cable
  8. * 1 × PC loaded with Windows, Linux or Mac OS
  9. Overview
  10. --------
  11. ESP32-DevKitC is a small-sized ESP32-based development board produced by `Espressif <http://espressif.com>`_. Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing. Developers can connect these pins to peripherals as needed. Standard headers also make development easy and convenient when using a breadboard.
  12. Functional Description
  13. ----------------------
  14. The following list and figure below describe key components, interfaces and controls of ESP32-DevKitC board.
  15. ESP-WROOM-32
  16. Standard `ESP-WROOM-32 <http://www.espressif.com/sites/default/files/documentation/esp_wroom_32_datasheet_en.pdf>`_ module soldered to the ESP32-DevKitC board.

  18. Reset button: pressing this button resets the system.
  19. Boot
  20. 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.
  21. USB
  22. USB interface. It functions as the power supply for the board and the communication interface between PC and ESP-WROOM-32.
  23. I/O
  24. Most of the pins on the ESP-WROOM-32 are broken out to the pin headers on the board. Users can program ESP32 to enable multiple functions such as PWM,ADC, DAC, I2C, I2S, SPI, etc.

  30. Start Application Development
  31. ------------------------------
  32. Before powering up the ESP32-DevKitC, please make sure that the board has been received in good condition with no obvious signs of damage.
  33. To start development of applications, proceed to section :doc:`index`, that will walk you through the following steps:
  34. * :ref:`get-started-setup-toochain` in your PC to develop applications for ESP32 in C language
  35. * :ref:`get-started-connect` the module to the PC and verify if it is accessible
  36. * :ref:`get-started-build-flash` an example application to the ESP32
  37. * :ref:`get-started-build-monitor` instantly what the application is doing
