    1. Overview

    1. Overview
    ESP32-DevKitC is a small-sized ESP32-based development board produced by Espressif.
    Most of the I/O pins are led out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing.
    Developers can connect these pins to peripherals as needed. Standard headers also make
    development easy and convenient when using a breadboard.
    Figure 1-1 shows the layout of the board.

    • 1 × USB cable

    2.1. Create Serial Communication


    Connect the ESP32-DevKitC to the PC using the USB cable. Check the list of identified
    external COM ports in the Windows Device Manager and confirm the COM port number of
    the ESP32-DevKitC.

    2.2. Set Download Mode and SPI Boot Mode


    As shown in Figure 1-1, the ESP32-DevKitC features two buttons: one marked as “EN”,
    which is the reset button and is located on the bottom left corner, and another one marked
    “Boot” on the bottom right corner, which is the download button.
    • Download mode:

    While pressing the “Boot” button, also press the “EN” button to initiate the download
    mode. The system should then enter the download mode and output the following on the
    terminal:

    • SPI boot mode:

    Simply press the “EN” button and the ESP32-DevKitC will enter the SPI boot mode. If
    download operation is completed successfully, the system will output some information on
    the terminal, as shown in Figure 2-3.

    2.3. Download Methods


    Use ESP32 DOWNLOAD TOOL

    Use Python Scripts

    Get Python scripts from esp-idf/components/esptool_py/esptool/esptool.py in the ESP-

    The download process will require the system to have a command terminal. For the
    Windows System, open the “Windows PowerShell” or “Windows Command Terminal”.
    On the terminal, set the current directory to where the downloaded Python scripts are
    saved, and then type in the following commands:

    python esptool.py -b 115200 -p COM3 write_flash -ff 40m -fm qio -ih
    0x0 -il 0x00 0x1000 bootloader.bin 0x4000 partitions_singleapp.bin
    0x10000 testje.bin
