8MB Octal PSRAM

Configurations¶
nsh¶
Basic NuttShell configuration (console enabled in USB JTAG SERIAL Device, exposed via USB connection at 9600 bps).
You can configure this board profile this way:
$ cd nuttxspace/nuttx $ ./tools/configure.sh esp32s3-eye:nsh
Flashing¶
Because ESP32-S3 doesn’t use an external USB/Serial chip like others ESP32 boards you should put it in programming mode this way:
Press and hold BOOT and RESET (RST) buttons at same time;
Release the RESET button and keep BOOT button pressed;
After one or more seconds release the BOOT button;
Run the flashing command: make flash ESPTOOL_PORT=/dev/ttyACM0
Serial Console¶
The internal USB JTAG SERIAL Device, by default, is used as serial console. It is normally detected by Linux host as a USB CDC/ACM serial device.
It will show up as /dev/ttyACM[n] where [n] will probably be 0.
You can use minicom with /dev/ttyACM0 port at 9600 8n1 or picocom this way:
$ picocom -b9600 /dev/ttyACM0
Buttons and LEDs¶
Buttons¶
There are two buttons labeled BOOT and RST. The RST button is not available to software. It pulls the chip enable line that doubles as a reset line.
The BOOT button is connected to IO0. On reset it is used as a strapping pin to determine whether the chip boots normally or into the serial bootloader. After reset, however, the BOOT button can be used for software input.
LEDs¶
There are several on-board LEDs for that indicate the presence of power and USB activity. None of these are available for use by software.
