2.4 & 5 GHz dual-band (802.11ax), Bluetooth® 5 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread
(802.15.4) with on-board PCB antenna.
All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the
pin headers on the board.
Power regulator that converts a 5 V supply into a 3.3 V output.
Turns on when the the board is connected to USB power.
Single-chip USB-to-UART bridge offering transfer rate up to 3 Mbps.
The USB Type-C port on the ESP32-C5 chip supports USB 2.0 full speed,
with a data transfer rate of up to 12 Mbps. Note that this port does not support
the 480 Mbps high-speed transfer mode. This port is used for power supply to
the board, flashing applications to the chip, and communication with the chip
via USB protocols, as well as for JTAG debugging.
Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates
