ESP-WROVER-KIT
##############

Overview
********

ESP-WROVER-KIT is an ESP32-based development board produced by `Espressif <https://www.espressif.com/>`_.

ESP-WROVER-KIT features the following integrated components:

- ESP32-WROVER-E module
- LCD screen
- MicroSD card slot

Its another distinguishing feature is the embedded FTDI FT2232HL chip - an advanced multi-interface
USB bridge. This chip enables to use JTAG for direct debugging of ESP32 through the USB interface
without a separate JTAG debugger. ESP-WROVER-KIT makes development convenient, easy, and
cost-effective.

Most of the ESP32 I/O pins are broken out to the board's pin headers for easy access.

.. note::

   ESP32's GPIO16 and GPIO17 are used as chip select and clock signals for PSRAM. By default, the two
   GPIOs are not broken out to the board's pin headers in order to ensure reliable performance.

| FT2232           | The FT2232 chip serves as a multi-protocol USB-to-serial bridge         |
|                  | which can be programmed and controlled via USB to provide               |
|                  | communication with ESP32. FT2232 also features USB-to-JTAG              |
|                  | interface which is available on channel A of the chip, while USB-to-    |
|                  | serial is on channel B. The FT2232 chip enhances user-friendliness in   |
|                  | terms of application development and debugging. See `ESP-WROVER-KIT     |
|                  | V4.1 schematic                                                          |

+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 32.768 kHz       | External precision 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator serves as a clock with |
|                  | low-power consumption while the chip is in Deep-sleep mode.             |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| 0R               | Zero-ohm resistor intended as a placeholder for a current shunt, can    |
|                  | be desoldered or replaced with a current shunt to facilitate the        |
|                  | measurement of ESP32’s current consumption in different modes.          |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ESP32-WROVER-E   | This ESP32 module features 64-Mbit PSRAM for flexible extended          |
| module           | storage and data processing capabilities.                               |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Diagnostic LEDs  | Four red LEDs connected to the GPIO pins of FT2232. Intended for        |
|                  | future use.                                                             |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| UART             | Serial port. The serial TX/RX signals of FT2232 and ESP32 are broken    |
|                  | out to the inward and outward sides of JP2 respectively. By default,    |
|                  | these pairs of pins are connected with jumpers. To use ESP32’s serial   |
|                  | interface, remove the jumpers and connect another external serial       |
|                  | device to the respective pins.                                          |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| SPI              | By default, ESP32 uses its SPI interface to access flash and PSRAM      |
|                  | memory inside the module. Use these pins to connect ESP32 to            |
|                  | another SPI device. In this case, an extra chip select (CS) signal is   |
|                  | needed. Please note that the voltage of this interface is 3.3 V.        |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| CTS/RTS          | Serial port flow control signals: the pins are not connected to the     |
|                  | circuitry by default. To enable them, short the respective pins of JP14 |
|                  | with jumpers.                                                           |
+------------------+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| JTAG             | JTAG interface. JTAG signals of FT2232 and ESP32 are broken out to      |
|                  | the inward and outward sides of JP2 respectively. By default, these     |
|                  | pairs of pins are disconnected. To enable JTAG, short the respective    |
|                  | pins with jumpers as shown in Section                                   |

Allocation of ESP32 Pins
************************

Some pins / terminals of ESP32 are allocated for use with the onboard or external hardware. If
that hardware is not used, e.g., nothing is plugged into the Camera (JP4) header, then these
GPIOs can be used for other purposes.

Some of the pins, such as GPIO0 or GPIO2, have multiple functions and some of them are shared
among onboard and external peripheral devices. Certain combinations of peripherals cannot work
together. For example, it is not possible to do JTAG debugging of an application that is using
SD card, because several pins are shared by JTAG and the SD card slot.

In other cases, peripherals can coexist under certain conditions. This is applicable to, for
example, LCD screen and SD card that share only a single pin GPIO21. This pin is used to provide
D/C (Data / Control) signal for the LCD as well as the Card Detect signal read from the SD card
slot. If the card detect functionality is not essential, then it may be disabled by removing R167,
so both LCD and SD may operate together.

For more details on which pins are shared among which peripherals, please refer to the table in
the next section.

Main I/O Connector / JP1
************************

The JP1 connector consists of 14x2 male pins whose functions are shown in the middle two “I/O”
columns of the table below. The two “Shared With” columns on both sides describe where else on
the board a certain GPIO is used.

.. note::

   Since GPIO32 and GPIO33 are connected to the oscillator by default, they are not connected to
   the JP1 I/O connector to maintain signal integrity. This allocation may be changed from the
   oscillator to JP1 by desoldering the zero-ohm resistors from positions R11 / R23 and re-
   soldering them to positions R12 / R24.

.. important::
   The module’s flash bus is connected to the jumper block JP2 through zero-ohm resistors R140 ~
   R145. If the flash memory needs to operate at the frequency of 80 MHz, for reasons such as
   improving the integrity of bus signals, you can desolder these resistors to disconnect the
   module’s flash bus from the pin header JP2.

Do not install any other jumpers.

Turn the Power Switch to ON, the 5V Power On LED should light up.

System requirements
*******************

Prerequisites
-------------

Espressif HAL requires WiFi and Bluetooth binary blobs in order 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
-------------------

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: esp_wrover_kit
   :goals: build

The usual ``flash`` target will work with the ``esp_wrover_kit`` board
configuration. Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world`
application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: esp_wrover_kit
   :goals: flash

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! esp_wrover_kit

Debugging
---------

As with much custom hardware, the ESP32 modules require patches to
OpenOCD that are not upstreamed yet. Espressif maintains their own fork of
the project. The custom OpenOCD can be obtained at `OpenOCD ESP32`_

The Zephyr SDK uses a bundled version of OpenOCD by default. You can overwrite that behavior by adding the
``-DOPENOCD=<path/to/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/openocd/share/openocd/scripts>``
parameter when building.

Here is an example for building the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: esp_wrover_kit
   :goals: build flash
   :gen-args: -DOPENOCD=<path/to/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/openocd/share/openocd/scripts>

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the :ref:`hello_world` application.

.. zephyr-app-commands::
   :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
   :board: esp_wrover_kit
   :goals: debug
