| Overview |
| ******** |
| |
| The YD-ESP32 development board is one of VCC-GND® Studio's official boards. |
| This board is based on the ESP32-WROOM-32E module, with the ESP32 as the core. |
| |
| ESP32 |
| ===== |
| |
| ESP32 is a series of low cost, low power system on a chip microcontrollers |
| with integrated Wi-Fi & dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series employs a |
| Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both dual-core and single-core |
| variations. ESP32 is created and developed by Espressif Systems, a |
| Shanghai-based Chinese company, and is manufactured by TSMC using their 40nm |
| process. |
| |
| The features include the following: |
| |
| - Dual core Xtensa microprocessor (LX6), running at 160 or 240MHz |
| - 520KB of SRAM |
| - 802.11b/g/n/e/i |
| - Bluetooth v4.2 BR/EDR and BLE |
| - Various peripherals: |
| |
| - 12-bit ADC with up to 18 channels |
| - 2x 8-bit DACs |
| - 10x touch sensors |
| - Temperature sensor |
| - 4x SPI |

| 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 |
| ******************* |
| |
| Simple boot |
| =========== |
| |
| The board could be loaded using the 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:: cfg |
| |
| CONFIG_BOOTLOADER_MCUBOOT=y |
| |
| Sysbuild |
| ======== |
| |
| The sysbuild makes possible to build and flash all necessary images needed to |
| bootstrap the board with the ESP32 SoC. |
| |
| To build the sample application using sysbuild use the command: |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :tool: west |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: yd_esp32 |
| :goals: build |
| :west-args: --sysbuild |
| :compact: |
| |
| By default, the ESP32 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: yd_esp32/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: build |
| |
| The usual ``flash`` target will work with the ``yd_esp32`` board |
| configuration. Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` |
| application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: yd_esp32/esp32/procpu |
| :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! yd_esp32 |
| |
| RGB LED |
| ======= |
| |
| The board contains an addressable RGB LED (`XL-5050RGBC-WS2812B`_), driven by GPIO16. |
| Here is an example of how to test it using the :zephyr:code-sample:`led-strip` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/drivers/led/led_strip |
| :board: yd_esp32/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: flash |

| |
| Debugging |
| ********* |
| |
| ESP32 support on OpenOCD is available at `OpenOCD ESP32`_. |
| |
| On the YD-ESP32 board, the JTAG pins are not run to a |
| standard connector (e.g. ARM 20-pin) and need to be manually connected |
| to the external programmer (e.g. a Flyswatter2): |
| |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | ESP32 pin | JTAG pin | |
| +============+===========+ |
| | 3V3 | VTRef | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | EN | nTRST | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | IO14 | TMS | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | IO12 | TDI | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | GND | GND | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | IO13 | TCK | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| | IO15 | TDO | |
| +------------+-----------+ |
| |
| Further documentation can be obtained from the SoC vendor in `JTAG debugging for ESP32`_. |
| |
| Here is an example for building the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: yd_esp32/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: build flash |
| |
| You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the :zephyr:code-sample:`hello_world` application. |
| |
| .. zephyr-app-commands:: |
| :zephyr-app: samples/hello_world |
| :board: yd_esp32/esp32/procpu |
| :goals: debug |
| |
| Note on Debugging with GDB Stub |
| =============================== |
| |
| GDB stub is enabled on ESP32. |
| |
| * When adding breakpoints, please use hardware breakpoints with command |
| ``hbreak``. Command ``break`` uses software breakpoints which requires |
| modifying memory content to insert break/trap instructions. |
| This does not work as the code is on flash which cannot be randomly |
| accessed for modification. |
