3 Get Started 3 Get Started 3.1 What You Need To develop applications for module you need: • 1 x ESP32-S2-SOLO-2 • 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. 3.2 Hardware Connection 1. Solder the ESP32-S2-SOLO-2 module to the RF testing board as shown in Figure 2.
3 Get Started 7. After download, remove the jumper on IO0 and GND. 8. Power up the RF testing board again. The module 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. For more information on ESP32-S2-SOLO-2, please refer to ESP32-S2 Series Datasheet. 3.
3 Get Started 1 mkdir -p ~/esp 2 cd ~/esp 3 git clone --recursive https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git 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. 3.3.3 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.
3 Get Started 3.4.3 Configure Navigate to your ‘hello_world’ directory from Step 3.4.1. Start a Project, set ESP32-S2 chip as the target and run the project configuration utility ‘menuconfig’. 1 cd ~/esp/hello_world 2 idf.py set-target esp32s2 3 idf.py menuconfig Setting the target with ‘idf.py set-target ESP32-S2’ should be done once, after opening a new project. If the project contains some existing builds and configuration, they will be cleared and initialized.
