ESP32-C3 BSP Introduction

中文 | English

This document records the execution instruction of the BSP (board support package) for the ESP32-C3 development board.

The document is covered in two parts:

Board Resources Introduction
Quickly Get Started

Resources Introduction

We tested 2 development boards, it all works, but due to the different LED pins of the two development boards, so we'll need to select the corresponding development board in the menuconfig.

LUATOS_ESP32C3

HX-DK-商

The mainly-used resources of LUATOS_ESP32C3 are shown as follows:

MCU: esp32-c3，Main Frequency 160MHz, 407.22 CoreMark; 2.55 CoreMark/MHz
Built-in Chip: 384KB ROM, 400KB SRAM
Peripherals
- Red LED: 2, LED: D4 (IO12), D5（IO13）
- Button: 2, K1（BOOT） K2(RST)
- SPI FLASH: 4M
Common-used interfaces: USB, UART, etc.

For more details about this board, please refer to Here.

Peripheral Condition

Each peripheral supporting condition for this BSP is as follows:

On-board Peripherals	**Support**	**Remark**
GPIO	Support
UART	Support	Using LUATOS_ESP32C3 development board requires connecting serial port to USB chip UART0_TX and UART0_RX (such as CP2102)
JTAG debug	Support	ESP32C3 usb-linked development boards can be debugged
WIFI	Partial support	There are currently some problems, such as `rt_mq_recive` cannot be used in ISR, etc., and we are still trying to solve it
BLE	Partially supported	There are currently some problems, such as running errors caused by the same `PC` and `SP` pointers after `NimBLE` is started for a period of time
GDBStub	Support	You can use the GDB provided by ESP-IDF by turning on the `BSP_ENABLE_GDBSTUB` switch, which will enter GDB mode after a chip error

Note:

WIFI and BLE cannot be enabled at the same time. When using the BLE driver, be sure to turn off the RT_USING_WIFI and LWIP switches in menuconfig. In addition, due to limited personal abilities and lack of debugging equipment, there are problems with the operation of WIFI and BLE drivers. If you can solve it, please contact me timwcx@qq.com, I will be grateful.
The BLE driver only supports NimBLE and is provided by the bluetooth component in esp-idf. To use the BLE driver, please refer to bsp/ESP32_C3/packages/ESP-IDF-latest/examples/bluetooth/nimble Sample program, please note that the esp_timer_init() function must be called to initialize the clock driver before calling the NimBLE related interface.

One way to run the BLE sample is to add the sample program to scons compilation and call the clock initialization program and sample program entry in bsp/ESP32_C3/main/main.c.

int main(void) {
   ...
#ifdef BSP_USING_BLE
     esp_timer_init(); //Call clock initialization program
     app_main(); //Call the BLE sample program entry
#endif
   ...
}

3、 Regarding the use of the GDBStub component, please see ESP-IDF official documentation on GDBStub, currently I have provided a debugging script esp32c3.gdb, the specific usage method is as follows.

Environment construction and compilation

Download the RISC-V toolchain:

 wget https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG/releases/download/esp-2022r1-RC1/riscv32-esp-elf-gcc11_2_0-esp-2022r1-RC1-linux-amd64.tar.xz
 tar xf riscv32-esp-elf-gcc11_2_0-esp-2022r1-RC1-linux-amd64.tar.xz

Configure the path of the toolchain:

Add the local path of the RISC-V toolchain to the EXEC_PATH variable in the rtconfig.py file, or specify the path by setting the RTT_EXEC_PATH environment variable, for example:
```
 export RTT_EXEC_PATH=/opt/riscv32-esp-elf/bin
```
Compile

Install esptool to convert ELF files to binary flash files:
```
 pip install esptool
```
Execute the following command on the Linux platform to configure:
```
 scons --menuconfig
```
It will automatically download env-related scripts to the ~/.env directory, and then execute:
```
 source ~/.env/env.sh

 cd bsp/ESP32_C3/
 pkgs --update
```
It will automatically download RT-Thread-packages/esp-idf and RT-Thread-packages/FreeRTOS-Wrapper, after updating the software packages, execute scons to compile the board support package.

If the compilation is successful, rtthread.elf, rtthread.bin files will be generated.

Download and program

Programming tool download

The current bsp test uses the flash_download_tool_3.9.4 tool to program without errors.

Programming tool download address: https://www.espressif.com.cn/sites/default/files/tools/flash_download_tool_3.9.4_0.zip
Programming tool configuration

Chip model selection ESP32-C3

Configure the binary file and offset address as follows:

| binary file | offset address | | ------------------- | -------- | | bootloader.bin | 0x0 | | partition-table.bin | 0x8000 | | rtthread.bin | 0x10000 |

Among them, bootloader.bin and partition-table.bin can be found in the bsp/ESP32_C3/builtin_imgs folder. After the configuration is completed, the screenshot is as follows, and then click START to download.

Notes

The basic functions are now supported, but it needs more, welcome any contributions and feedback.
