Espressif ESP32-C6-DEVKITM-1 WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5, Zigbee

Product detailed description

The Espressif ESP32-C6-DevKitM-1 is an official development board featuring the ESP32-C6-MINI-1 module, combining WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread on a single chip. With IEEE 802.15.4 support, it is ideal for Matter-standard smart home devices, gateways between BLE or Zigbee sensors and home networks, as well as low-power battery-operated IoT nodes. The board features two USB-C ports – one via a USB-UART converter and the second directly on the native USB chip with a built-in JTAG debugger, allowing you to flash and debug the board using only a USB cable without an external probe. It can be programmed using ESP-IDF as well as the Arduino IDE (arduino-esp32 core version 3.0.0 or newer).

• Chip peripherals: UART, SPI, I2C, I2S, TWAI (CAN), LED PWM, MCPWM, RMT, 12-bit A/D converter, temperature sensor, SDIO slave
• USB:
  • USB-C (UART): power supply, firmware upload, and serial communication via USB-UART converter (up to 3 Mb/s)
  • USB-C (native): USB 2.0 Full Speed (12 Mb/s) – power supply, firmware upload, USB CDC, and JTAG debugging
• Power supply: 5 V via either USB-C port or 5V pin, or 3.3 V via 3V3 pin
• Logic level: 3.3 V (inputs are not 5V tolerant)
• Pins: 2× 15-pin header with 2.54 mm pitch – all available GPIO, 3V3, 5V, GND, and RST are routed
• On-board elements:
  • BOOT button (hold and press RESET to switch the chip to upload mode)
  • RESET button
  • 3.3 V power supply LED indicator
  • addressable RGB LED on GPIO8
  • J5 jumper for measuring the module current consumption
  • LDO regulator 5 V → 3.3 V
• Programming: ESP-IDF, Arduino IDE (arduino-esp32 ≥ 3.0.0), MicroPython
• Operating temperature: –40 °C to +85 °C
• Dimensions:
  • Board: approx. 48.3 × 25.4 mm

Important wiring notice:

• GPIO4, GPIO5, GPIO8, GPIO9 and GPIO15 are strapping pins – do not load them with external pull-up/pull-down resistors or peripherals during startup, otherwise the chip may not boot correctly.
• GPIO12 and GPIO13 are native USB data lines (D− / D+). If you use them as general-purpose GPIOs, you will lose the native USB port including JTAG debugging.
• For JTAG debugging, the native USB-C port and OpenOCD from ESP-IDF are sufficient. Do not connect JTAG pins (GPIO4–7) freely to the rest of the circuit if you are not using an external JTAG probe.
• In the Arduino IDE, select the "ESP32C6 Dev Module" board and install the arduino-esp32 core version 3.0.0 or newer – older versions do not support the ESP32-C6 chip.
