Notes

Before you flash

  • J5 current-measurement header: its jumper must be fitted (factory default = jumper on). Without it, per the user guide, "power supply between the module and peripherals on the board is cut off" -- the USB-to-UART bridge still enumerates and the power LED still lights, but the ESP32-C6 itself is unpowered.
  • Two USB Type-C: a UART-bridge port and the native ESP32-C6 USB 2.0 full-speed port
  • Addressable RGB LED on GPIO8
  • Based on ESP32-C6-WROOM-1(U) with 8 MB flash; Wi-Fi 6 / BLE 5 / 802.15.4
  • Dimensions only in a separate Dimensions PDF (omitted)
  • io.gpio_free=16 DERIVED, not quoted (SPEC-io-power.md §5.3). Header J1+J3 break out 23 pads total (quoted from the user guide pin tables: J1 = GPIO 0-8,10,11; J3 = GPIO 9,12,13,15-23). Subtracting esp32-c6's soc.reserved_pins that are exposed -- strapping {8,9,10,11,15} (5) and usb_flash_tied {12,13} (2) -- gives 23 - 5 - 2 = 16. Math not vendor-stated; verify before treating as exact.

Verify my board

Reads the connected chip over USB and checks it against what esp-atlas cites for ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 — over Web Serial, no backend, nothing leaves your browser.

In-browser verify needs Web Serial: Chrome or Edge on a desktop. Safari, Firefox and phones cannot do it.
