2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-MINI-1 2 Get Started on ESP32C3MINI1 2.1 What You Need To develop applications for ESP32-C3-MINI-1 module you need: • 1 x ESP32-C3-MINI-1 module • 1 x Espressif RF testing board • 1 x USB-to-Serial board • 1 x Micro-USB cable • 1 x PC running Linux In this user guide, we take Linux operating system as an example. For more information about the configuration on Windows and macOS, please refer to ESP-IDF Programming Guide. 2.2 Hardware Connection 1.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-MINI-1 7. After download, remove the jumper on IO0 and GND. 8. Power up the RF testing board again. ESP32-C3-MINI-1 will switch to working mode. The chip will read programs from flash upon initialization. Note: IO0 is internally logic high. If IO0 is set to pull-up, the Boot mode is selected. If this pin is pull-down or left floating, the Download mode is selected. For more information on ESP32-C3-MINI-1, please refer to ESP32-C3-MINI-1 Datasheet. 2.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-MINI-1 ESP-IDF will be downloaded into ~/esp/esp-idf. Consult ESP-IDF Versions for information about which ESP-IDF version to use in a given situation. 2.3.3 Set up Tools Aside from the ESP-IDF, you also need to install the tools used by ESP-IDF, such as the compiler, debugger, Python packages, etc. ESP-IDF provides a script named ’install.sh’ to help set up the tools in one go. 1 cd ~/esp/esp-idf 2 ./install.sh 2.3.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-MINI-1 1 cd ~/esp/hello_world 2 idf.py set-target esp32c3 3 idf.py menuconfig Setting the target with ‘idf.py set-target esp32c3’ should be done once, after opening a new project. If the project contains some existing builds and configuration, they will be cleared and initialized. The target may be saved in environment variable to skip this step at all. See Selecting the Target for additional information.
