2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 2 Get Started on ESP32C3SOLO1 2.1 What You Need To develop applications for ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 module you need: • 1 x ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 module • 1 x Espressif RF testing board • 1 x USB-to-Serial board • 1 x Micro-USB cable • 1 x PC running Linux In this user guide, we take Linux operating system as an example. For more information about the configuration on Windows and macOS, please refer to ESP-IDF Programming Guide. 2.2 Hardware Connection 1.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 7. After download, remove the jumper on IO0 and GND. 8. Power up the RF testing board again. ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 will switch to working mode. The chip will read programs from flash upon initialization. Note: IO0 is internally logic high. If IO0 is set to pull-up, the Boot mode is selected. If this pin is pull-down or left floating, the Download mode is selected. 2.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 ESP-IDF will be downloaded into ~/esp/esp-idf. Consult ESP-IDF Versions for information about which ESP-IDF version to use in a given situation. 2.3.3 Set up Tools Aside from the ESP-IDF, you also need to install the tools used by ESP-IDF, such as the compiler, debugger, Python packages, etc. ESP-IDF provides a script named ’install.sh’ to help set up the tools in one go. 1 cd ~/esp/esp-idf 2 ./install.sh 2.3.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 1 cd ~/esp/hello_world 2 idf.py set-target esp32c3 3 idf.py menuconfig Setting the target with ‘idf.py set-target esp32c3’ should be done once, after opening a new project. If the project contains some existing builds and configuration, they will be cleared and initialized. The target may be saved in environment variable to skip this step at all. See Selecting the Target for additional information.
2 Get Started on ESP32-C3-SOLO-1 12 [527/527] Generating hello-world.bin 13 esptool.py v2.3.1 14 15 Project build complete.

3 U.S. FCC Statement 3 U.S. FCC Statement The device complies with KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01. Below are integration instructions for host product manufacturers according to the KDB 996369 D03 OEM Manual v01. List of Applicable FCC Rules FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 Specific Operational Use Conditions The module has WiFi and BLE functions.
3 U.S. FCC Statement required to take responsibility of the module through a change in FCC ID or new application. The FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product. In these circumstances, the host manufacturer will be responsible for re-evaluating the end product (including the transmitter) and obtaining a separate FCC authorization. Antennas Antenna specification are as follows: • Type: On-board PCB antenna • Gain: 3.
3 U.S. FCC Statement Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B compliant The modular transmitter is only FCC authorized for FCC Part 15 Subpart C 15.247 and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the modular transmitter grant of certification.
3 U.S. FCC Statement Validity of Using the Module Certification In the event that these conditions cannot be met (for example certain laptop configurations or co-location with another transmitter), then the FCC authorization for this module in combination with the host equipment is no longer considered valid and the FCC ID of the module cannot be used on the final product.
4 IC Statement 4 IC Statement This device complies with Industry Canada’s licence-exempt RSSs. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: • This device may not cause interference; and • This device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
