ESP32-C3 BSP Introduction

中文 | English

This document records the execution instruction of the BSP (board support package) for the ESP32-C3 development board.

The document is covered in two parts:

  • Board Resources Introduction
  • Quickly Get Started

Resources Introduction

We tested 2 development boards, it all works, but due to the different LED pins of the two development boards, so we'll need to select the corresponding development board in the menuconfig.

LUATOS_ESP32C3

hongxu

The mainly-used resources of LUATOS_ESP32C3 are shown as follows:

  • MCU: esp32-c3，Main Frequency 160MHz, 407.22 CoreMark; 2.55 CoreMark/MHz
  • Built-in Chip: 384KB ROM, 400KB SRAM
  • Peripherals
    • Red LED: 2, LED: D4 (IO12), D5（IO13）
    • Button: 2, K1（BOOT） K2(RST)
    • SPI FLASH: 4M
  • Common-used interfaces: USB, UART, etc.

For more details about this board, please refer to Here.

Peripheral Condition

Each peripheral supporting condition for this BSP is as follows:

On-board Peripherals Support Remark
GPIO Support
UART Support Using LUATOS_ESP32C3 development board requires connecting serial port to USB chip UART0_TX and UART0_RX (such as CP2102)
JTAG debug Support ESP32C3 usb-linked development boards can be debugged
WIFI Partial support There are currently some problems, such as rt_mq_recive cannot be used in ISR, etc.
BLE Partially supported There are currently some problems, such as NimBLE running errors after starting for a while
GDBStub Support You can use the GDB provided by ESP-IDF by turning on the BSP_ENABLE_GDBSTUB switch, which will enter GDB mode after a chip error
HWTIMER Support
Note:

  1. WIFI and BLE cannot be enabled at the same time. When using the BLE driver, be sure to turn off the RT_USING_WIFI and LWIP switches in menuconfig. In addition, due to limited capabilities and lack of debugging equipment, there are problems with WIFI and BLE driver operation. If it can be solved, please contact timwcx@qq.com.

  2. The BLE driver only supports NimBLE and is provided by the bluetooth component in esp-idf. To use the BLE driver, please refer to bsp/ESP32_C3/packages/ESP-IDF-latest/examples/bluetooth/nimble Sample program, please note that the esp_timer_init() function must be called to initialize the clock driver before calling the NimBLE related interface.

One way to run the BLE sample is to add the sample program to scons compilation and call the clock initialization program and sample program entry in bsp/ESP32_C3/main/main.c.

int main(void) {
   ...
#ifdef BSP_USING_BLE
     esp_timer_init(); //Call clock initialization program
     app_main(); //Call the BLE sample program entry
#endif
   ...
}

3、 Regarding the use of the GDBStub component, please see [ESP-IDF official documentation on GDBStub](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/zh_CN/latest/esp32c3/api-guides/tools/idf- monitor.html?#gdbstub-gdb), currently I have provided a debugging script esp32c3.gdb, the specific usage method is as follows.

Environment construction and compilation

  1. Download the RISC-V toolchain:

    wget https://github.com/espressif/crosstool-NG/releases/download/esp-2022r1-RC1/riscv32-esp-elf-gcc11_2_0-esp-2022r1-RC1-linux-amd64.tar.xz
tar xf riscv32-esp-elf-gcc11_2_0-esp-2022r1-RC1-linux-amd64.tar.xz

  2. Configure the path of the toolchain:

    Add the local path of the RISC-V toolchain to the EXEC_PATH variable in the rtconfig.py file, or specify the path by setting the RTT_EXEC_PATH environment variable, for example:

    export RTT_EXEC_PATH=/opt/riscv32-esp-elf/bin

  3. Compile

    Install esptool to convert ELF files to binary flash files:

    pip install esptool

    Execute the following command on the Linux platform to configure:

    scons --menuconfig

    It will automatically download env-related scripts to the ~/.env directory, and then execute:

    source ~/.env/env.sh

cd bsp/ESP32_C3/
pkgs --update

    It will automatically download RT-Thread-packages/esp-idf and RT-Thread-packages/FreeRTOS-Wrapper, after updating the software packages, execute scons to compile the board support package.

    If the compilation is successful, rtthread.elf, rtthread.bin files will be generated.

Download and program

In Windows, we can use flash supported by ESPRESSIF.

In Linux, we can use the esptool, which we have downloaded serval steps

Windows

  1. Programming tool download

    The current bsp test uses the Flash Download Tools tool to program without errors.

  2. Programming tool configuration

    Chip model selection ESP32-C3

    Configure the binary file and offset address as follows:

    binary file offset address
    bootloader.bin 0x0
    partition-table.bin 0x8000
    rtthread.bin 0x10000

    Among them, bootloader.bin and partition-table.bin can be found in the bsp/ESP32_C3/builtin_imgs folder. After the configuration is completed, the screenshot is as follows, and then click START to download.

    flash_download_tools

Linux

esptool.py -b 115200 --before default_reset --after hard_reset write_flash --flash_mode dio --flash_size detect --flash_freq 80m 0x0 path/to/your/bootloader.bin 0x08000 path/to/your/partition-table.bin 0x010000 path/to/your/rtthread.bin

if you have more than one ESP device connected, you can use -p to choose which device to use.

if the command failed, check whether user ave enough privilige to access the serials.

or we can check ESPRESSIF's Troubleshooting to get more help.

Notes

  • The basic functions are now supported, but it needs more, welcome any contributions and feedback.
