Overview
********
WeAct ESP32-C6 Mini is a compact development board based on ESP32-C6FH4 chip with integrated
4 MB flash. This board integrates complete Wi-Fi, Bluetooth LE, Zigbee, and Thread functions.
For more information, check `WeAct ESP32-C6 Mini`_.
Hardware
********
ESP32-C6 is Espressif's first Wi-Fi 6 SoC integrating 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3 (LE) and the
802.15.4 protocol. It consists of a high-performance (HP) 32-bit RISC-V processor, which can be
clocked up to 160 MHz, and a low-power (LP) 32-bit RISC-V processor, which can be clocked up to 20 MHz.
It has a 320KB ROM, a 512KB SRAM, and works with external flash.
The WeAct ESP32-C6 Mini is a compact board with the ESP32-C6FH4 chip directly mounted, featuring
a 4 MB SPI flash. The board includes a USB Type-C connector, boot and reset buttons, and an RGB LED.
ESP32-C6FH4 is part of the ESP32-C6 series in a QFN32 (5x5 mm) package with in-package flash.
Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing.
ESP32-C6 includes the following features:
- 32-bit core RISC-V microcontroller with a clock speed of up to 160 MHz
- 400 KB of internal RAM

Supported Features
==================
.. zephyr:board-supported-hw::
System Requirements
*******************
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`.
Programming and Debugging

Low-Power CPU (LP CORE)
***********************
The ESP32-C6 SoC has two RISC-V cores: the High-Performance Core (HP CORE) and the Low-Power Core (LP CORE).
The LP Core features ultra low power consumption, an interrupt controller, a debug module and a system bus
interface for memory and peripheral access.
The LP Core is in sleep mode by default. It has two application scenarios:
- Power insensitive scenario: When the High-Performance CPU (HP Core) is active, the LP Core can assist the HP CPU with some speed and efficiency-insensitive controls and computations.
- Power sensitive scenario: When the HP CPU is in the power-down state to save power, the LP Core can be woken up to handle some external wake-up events.
The LP Core support is fully integrated with :ref:`sysbuild`. The user can enable the LP Core by adding
the following configuration to the project:
.. code:: cfg
CONFIG_ULP_COPROC_ENABLED=y
See :zephyr:code-sample-category:`lp-core` folder as code reference.
