\section esp32h2_devkit ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1

Overview

The Espressif ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1 board uses the ESP32-H2-MINI-1x module.

Since the number of GPIOs and their possible uses on the ESP32-H2 are quite limited, the ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1 should also work for most other ESP32-H2 boards. Any modifications required for specific applications could be overridden by \ref esp32_application_specific_configurations "application-specific board configuration".

Hardware

MCU

Most features of the board are provided by the ESP32-H2 SoC. For detailed information about the ESP32-H2 variant (family) and ESP32x SoCs, see section \ref esp32_mcu_esp32 "ESP32 SoC Series".

Board Configuration

ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1 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:

  • 5 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

Since all GPIOs are broken out, GPIOs can be used for different purposes in different applications. For flexibility, GPIOs can be listed in multiple peripheral configurations, but they can only be used for one peripheral at a time. For example, GPIO1, GPIO3, GPIO4 and GPIO5 can be used as ADC channels or as signals for SPI_DEV(0) and PWM_DEV(1).

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

  • the corresponding peripheral module is used, i.e. periph_spi, or
  • the corresponding init function is called, i.e. adc_init, or
  • the corresponding init function is called, i.e. 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_spi is not used, the GPIOs listed in SPI configuration can be used for the other purposes, that is, GPIO1, GPIO4 and GPIO5 can be used as ADC channels or PWM 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 \ref esp32_application_specific_configurations "application-specific configurations".

@note

  • The configuration of ADC channels contains all ESP32-H2 GPIOs that could be used as ADC channels.
  • GPIO6 and GPIO7 are not broken out for any reason.
  • GPPIO15 to GPIO21 are used for the in-package flash and are not broken out.

For detailed information about the peripheral configurations of ESP32-H2 boards, see section \ref esp32_peripherals "Common Peripherals".

Board Pinout

The following figures show the pinout as configured by default board definition.

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 and type using the programming port:

shell
BOARD=esp32h2-devkit make flash ...
