Tip

When using this board with RIOT, set the BOARD variable to esp32c6-devkit in your Makefile. If you follow the standard RIOT project structure, your Makefile should look like this:

./Makefile

# name of your application
APPLICATION = hello-world

# Change this to your board if you want to build for a different board
BOARD ?= esp32c6-devkit

# This has to be the absolute path to the RIOT base directory:
RIOTBASE ?= $(CURDIR)/RIOT

include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include

Overview

The Espressif ESP32-C6-DevKit boards are a couple of boards that use one of the following modules:

• ESP32-C6-MINI-1x module (ESP32-C6-DevKitM-1 board)
• ESP32-C6-WROOM-1x module (ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 board)

Since the number of GPIOs and their possible uses on the ESP32-C6 are quite limited, the ESP32-C6-DevKit should also work for most other ESP32-C6 boards. Any modifications required for specific applications could be overridden by esp32_application_specific_configurations “application-specific board configuration”.

Hardware

This section describes

MCU

Most features of the board are provided by the ESP32-C6 SoC. For detailed information about the ESP32-C6 variant (family) and ESP32x SoCs, see section esp32_mcu_esp32 “ESP32 SoC Series”.

Board Configuration

ESP32-C6-DevKit boards have no special hardware on board with the exception of a WS2812-compatible RGB-LED.

All GPIOs are simply broken out for flexibility. Therefore, the board configuration is the most flexible one which provides:

• 7 x ADC channels at maximum
• 1 x SPI
• 1 x I2C
• 1 x UART
• 2 x PWM with 3 channels each
• 1 x RGB-LED WS2812-compatible

Since all GPIOs are broken out, GPIOs can be used for different purposes in different applications. For flexibility, GPIOs can be used in multiple peripheral configurations, but they can only be used for one peripheral at a time. For example, GPIO4 and GPIO5 are defined as ADC channels and signals for I2C_DEV(0), GPIO7 and GPIO18 are defined as channels for PWM_DEV(1) and signals for SPI_DEV(0).

This is possible because GPIOs are only used for a specific peripheral interface when either

• the corresponding peripheral module is used, e.g. periph_i2c and periph_spi, or
• the corresponding init function is called, e.g. adc_init and pwm_init.

That is, the purpose for which a GPIO is used depends on which module or function is used first. For example, if module periph_i2c is not used, the GPIOs listed in I2C configuration can be used for the other purposes, that is, GPIO4 and GPIO5 can be used as ADC channels.

The following table shows the default board configuration, which is sorted according to the defined functionality of GPIOs. This configuration can be overridden by esp32_application_specific_configurations “application-specific configurations”.

Flashing the Device

Flashing RIOT is quite easy. The board has a Micro-USB connector with reset/boot/flash logic. Just connect the board to your host computer using the programming port and execute command:

BOARD=esp32c6-devkit make flash ...

For detailed information about ESP32-C6 as well as configuring and compiling RIOT for ESP32-C6 boards, see esp32_riot.
