SOFTWARE
First time start up or how to program the board
The first time setup is pretty straight-forward and the general approach is the following:
1) Install compatible software on your computer (your computer should meet the requirements of the
software); the official and recommended software is ESP-IDF ; but expect Arduino IDE support soon and
other software environments will follow;
2) Attach the ESP32-C6-EVB to the computer via USB cable, the cable needs to have USB type C connector
at one end and usually USB type A at the other to fit your computer; a lot of devices use similar cables so you
might already have such cable at home;
3) Force the board in upload/bootloader mode manually:
- Press and hold button BUT1
- Press and release button RST1
- Release button BUT1;
4) Download code. If you are unhappy with the default demos. Maybe check our ESP-IDF demo software for
the relays, user LED, button – Olimex ESP32-C6-EVB demo code and there is some extra info about it here
in this text file;
5) After download is complete you might need to reboot the board to have the user code execute. Future
downloads would require entering upload/bootloader mode again (refer to 3).
