DFRobot ESP32-C6 Dev Board
Overview
The DFR1117 is a development board based on the Espressif ESP32-C6, a single-core 32-bit RISC-V microcontroller running at up to 160 MHz. It provides comprehensive wireless connectivity including Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5.0 (LE), Zigbee, and Thread (802.15.4), making it a versatile hub for Matter-compliant devices. The board integrates 512KB RAM and 4MB flash to support complex networking stacks and local edge processing.
Why Choose This Part
The ESP32-C6 chipset brings Wi-Fi 6 support to low-cost IoT, offering better efficiency in congested environments and improved target wake time (TWT) for battery-operated devices. It features a modern RISC-V architecture and integrated security features including hardware encryption, making it ideal for modern secure communication protocols.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Developers can use the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF) or the Arduino IDE with the ESP32 core installed. The board features a USB-C interface for power and programming via the internal USB-to-Serial converter, and it can be debugged using the built-in JTAG functionality over USB.
Also Consider
Espressif Systems
- A lower-cost RISC-V alternative if Wi-Fi 6, Zigbee, or Thread support is not required for the application.
Arduino
- If the project requires the standard Arduino Nano form factor and a dual-core Xtensa processor instead of RISC-V.
