    Known good esp-atlas asserts this board↔firmware link at the shown trust tier — it does not guarantee your specific unit or the current firmware version. Flashing can erase keys/config and can brick the device. At your own risk.

Notes

  • 22 uA deep-sleep current
  • RTC has its own battery holder
  • Official BOM lists a plain ESP32-WROVER module (4 MB flash, 8 MB PSRAM per Espressif's ESP32-WROVER datasheet), needed for the grayscale framebuffer
  • io.gpio_free=1 DERIVED, not quoted (SPEC-io-power.md §5.3). Vendor free-GPIO page states the Inkplate 10 pins "not connected to any external component": IO26 (native ESP32), plus GPIO expander 1 P1-3..P1-7 and expander 2 P0-0..P1-7 (21 more I/O on the separate PCAL6416A I2C expander, excluded here -- not native SoC GPIO pads). Of the native set {IO26}, none fall in esp32's reserved_pins (strapping {0,2,5,12,15}, input_only {34,35,36,39}, usb_flash_tied {6,7,8,9,10,11}), so 1 - 0 = 1. Math not vendor-stated; verify before treating as exact.
