# ESP32-C3_Zen Development Board
|
||
_Bare metal ESP32-C3 DevBoard_
|
||
|
||
The ESP32-C3 ZEN devboard is all about simplicity and transparency. It strips away unnecessary complexity, offering a minimalistic setup that aligns perfectly with the official ESP32-C3 datasheet. This means developers get a bare-bones yet fully functional environment to work with, ensuring direct access to the microcontroller’s core features without extra layers of abstraction. The board’s hardware transparency is a huge plus—it allows users to understand and interact with the ESP32-C3 at a fundamental level, making debugging, customization, and optimization much easier. Whether you're a seasoned developer or just getting started, this streamlined approach keeps things efficient, clear, and true to the chip’s intended design.

### General Purpose GPIOs
|
||
|
||
_The table below reconciles wiring of ESP32 module GPIOs with board pins._
|
||
|
||
| GPIO | Physical Pin | Type | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| EN | 1 | I | Enable/Disable the chip (active HIGH). |
|
||
| IO4 | 2 | I/O/T | GPIO4, __ADC1_CH4__, FSPIHD, MTMS |
|
||
| IO5 | 3 | I/O/T | GPIO5, __ADC2_CH0__, FSPIWP, MTDI |
|
||
| IO6 | 4 | I/O/T | GPIO6, FSPICLK, MTCK |
|
||
| IO8 | 5 | I/O/T | GPIO8, __SDA__ |
|
||
| IO7 | 6 | I/O/T | GPIO7, FSPDI, MTDO |
|
||
| IO10 | 7 | I/O/T | GPIO10, FSPICS0 |
|
||
| IO9 | 8 | I/O/T | GPIO9, __SCL__ |
|
||
| USB_D+ | 9 | I/O/T | GOIO19, __USB D+__ |
|

|
||
| IO2 | 14 | I/O/T | GPIO2, __ADC1_CH2__, FSPIQ |
|
||
| IO1 | 15 | I/O/T | GPIO1, __ADC1_CH1__, XTAL_32K_N |
|
||
| IO0 | 16 | I/O/T | GPIO0, __ADC1_CH0__, XTAL_32K_P |
|
||
|
||
### Reserved GPIOs
|
||
|
||
_The table below lists strapping and reserved pins._
|
||
|
||
ESP32-C3 has three strapping pins: GPIO2, GPIO8 and GPIO9. By default, GPIO9 is connected to the internal pull-up resistor. If GPIO9 is not connected or connected to an external high-impedance circuit, the latched bit value will be '1'.
|
||
|
||
During the chip's system reset, the latches of strapping pins samle re voltage level as strapping bits of '0' or '1', and hold these bits until the chip is powered down. After reset, the strapping pins work as normal-function pins.

||
|
||
| GPIO | Physical Pin | Adapter Pin | Description |
|
||
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
||
| EN | 1 | 2 | ESP32-C3 Enable pin |
|
||
| IO9 | 8 | 8 | Strapping pin |
|
||
| IO8 | 5 | 7 | Strapping pin |
|
||
| IO18 | 11 | 13 | USB D- |
|
||
| IO19 | 9 | 14 | USB D+ |
