| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| The Lilygo TTGO TBeam, is an ESP32-based development board for LoRa applications. |
| |
| It's available in two versions supporting two different frequency ranges and features the following integrated components: |
| |
| - ESP32-PICO-D4 chip (240MHz dual core, 600 DMIPS, 520KB SRAM, Wi-Fi) |
| - SSD1306, 128x64 px, 0.96" screen (optional) |
| - SX1278 (433MHz) or SX1276 (868/915/923MHz) LoRa radio frontend (optional, with SMA or IPEX connector) |
| - NEO-6M or NEO-M8N GNSS module |
| - X-Powers AXP2101 PMIC |
| - JST GH 2-pin battery connector |
| - 18650 Li-Ion battery clip |
| |
| Some of the ESP32 I/O pins are accessible on the board's pin headers. |

| Supported Features |
| ================== |
| |
| .. zephyr:board-supported-hw:: |
| |
| Start Application Development |
| ***************************** |
| |
| Before powering up your Lilygo TTGO TBeam, please make sure that the board is in good |
| condition with no obvious signs of damage. |
| |
| System requirements |
| ******************* |
| |
| Prerequisites |
| ============= |
| |
| Espressif HAL requires WiFi and Bluetooth binary blobs in order to work. Run the command |
| below to retrieve those files. |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| west blobs fetch hal_espressif |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| It is recommended running the command above after :file:`west update`. |
| |
| Building & Flashing |
| ******************* |
| |
| .. zephyr:board-supported-runners:: |
| |
| Simple boot |
| =========== |
| |
| The board could be loaded using a single binary image, without 2nd stage bootloader. |
| It is the default option when building the application without additional configuration. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Simple boot does not provide any security features nor OTA updates. |
| |
| MCUboot bootloader |
| ================== |
| |
| User may choose to use MCUboot bootloader instead. In that case the bootloader |
| must be built (and flashed) at least once. |
| |
| There are two options to be used when building an application: |
| |
| 1. Sysbuild |
| 2. Manual build |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| User can select the MCUboot bootloader by adding the following line |
| to the board default configuration file. |
| |
| .. code-block:: cfg |
| |
| CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y |
| |
| Sysbuild |
| ======== |
| |
| The sysbuild makes it possible to build and flash all necessary images needed to |
| bootstrap the board with the ESP32-PICO-D4 SoC. |
| |
| To build the sample application using sysbuild use the command: |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :tool: west |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: ttgo_tbeam/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: build |
| :west-args: --sysbuild |
| :compact: |
| |
| By default, the ESP32-PICO-D4 sysbuild creates bootloader (MCUboot) and application |
| images. But it can be configured to create other kind of images. |
| |
| Build directory structure created by sysbuild is different from traditional |
| Zephyr build. Output is structured by the domain subdirectories: |
| |
| .. code-block:: |
| |
| build/ |
| ├── hello_world |
| │ └── zephyr |
| │ ├── zephyr.elf |
| │ └── zephyr.bin |
| ├── mcuboot |
| │ └── zephyr |
| │ ├── zephyr.elf |
| │ └── zephyr.bin |
| └── domains.yaml |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| With ``--sysbuild`` option the bootloader will be re-build and re-flash |
| every time the pristine build is used. |
| |
| For more information about the system build please read the :ref:`sysbuild` documentation. |
| |
| Manual build |
| ============ |
| |
| During the development cycle, it is intended to build & flash as quickly possible. |
| For that reason, images can be built one at a time using traditional build. |
| |
| The instructions following are relevant for both manual build and sysbuild. |
| The only difference is the structure of the build directory. |
| |
| .. note:: |
| |
| Remember that bootloader (MCUboot) needs to be flash at least once. |
| |
| Build and flash applications as usual (see :ref:`build_an_application` and |
| :ref:`application_run` for more details). |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: ttgo_tbeam/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: build |
| |
| The usual ``flash`` target will work with the ``ttgo_tbeam`` board target. |
| Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` |
| application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: ttgo_tbeam/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: flash |
| |
| The default baud rate for the Lilygo TTGO TBeam is set to 1500000bps. If experiencing issues when flashing, |
| try using different values by using ``--esp-baud-rate <BAUD>`` option during |
| ``west flash`` (e.g. ``west flash --esp-baud-rate 115200``). |
| |
| You can also open the serial monitor using the following command: |
| |
| .. code-block:: shell |
| |
| west espressif monitor |
| |
| After the board has automatically reset and booted, you should see the following |
| message in the monitor: |
| |
| .. code-block:: console |
| |
| ***** Booting Zephyr OS vx.x.x-xxx-gxxxxxxxxxxxx ***** |
| Hello World! ttgo_tbeam/esp32/procpu |
| |
| Code samples |
| ============ |
| |
| The following sample applications will work out of the box with this board: |
| |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`lora-send` |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`lora-receive` |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`gnss` |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`wifi-shell` |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`character-frame-buffer` |
| * :zephyr:code-sample:`blinky` |
| |
| Debugging |
| ********* |
| |
| Lilygo TTGO TBeam debugging is not supported due to pinout limitations. |
