Getting Started
This section provides a brief introduction of ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1, instructions on how to do the
initial hardware setup and how to flash firmware onto it.

Description of Components
 ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1 - front

The key components of the board are described in a counter-clockwise direction.

Key Component Description

ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 and ESP32-S3-WROOM-1U are two

powerful, generic Wi-Fi + Bluetooth LE MCU modules that have
ESP32-S3-WROOM- a rich set of peripherals. They provide acceleration for neural
1/1U network computing and signal processing workloads. ESP32-S3-
WROOM-1 comes with a PCB antenna. ESP32-S3-WROOM-
1U comes with an external antenna connector.

5 V to 3.3 V LDO Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output.

All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are
Pin Headers broken out to the pin headers on the board for easy interfacing
and programming. For details, please see Header Block.

A Micro-USB port used for power supply to the board, for

USB-to-UART Port flashing applications to the chip, as well as for communication
with the chip via the on-board USB-to-UART bridge.

Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset

Boot Button initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware
through the serial port.

Reset Button Press this button to restart the system.

ESP32-S3 full-speed USB OTG interface, compliant with the

USB 1.1 specification. The interface is used for power supply to
ESP32-S3 USB Port the board, for flashing applications to the chip, for
communication with the chip using USB 1.1 protocols, as well
as for JTAG debugging.

Single USB-to-UART bridge chip provides transfer rates up to 3

USB-to-UART Bridge
Mbps.

RGB LED Addressable RGB LED, driven by GPIO48.

3.3 V Power On LED Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board.

Start Application Development

Before powering up your board, please make sure that it is in good condition with no obvious signs
of damage.

Required Hardware

ESP32-S3-DevKitC-1
USB 2.0 cable (Standard-A to Micro-B)
Computer running Windows, Linux, or macOS

 Note

Be sure to use an appropriate USB cable. Some cables are for charging only and do not provide
the needed data lines nor work for programming the boards.

Hardware Setup

Connect the board with the computer using USB-to-UART Port. Connection using ESP32-S3 USB
Port is not fully implemented in software. In subsequent steps, USB-to-UART Port will be used by
default.

Software Setup
Please proceed to Get Started, where Section Installation Step by Step will quickly help you set up
the development environment and then flash an application example onto your board.

Power Supply Options

There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:

USB-to-UART Port and ESP32-S3 USB Port (either one or both), default power supply
(recommended)
5V and G (GND) pins
3V3 and G (GND) pins
