AI Thinker ESP32-CAM

Contents

Hardware

Platform :ref:`platform_espressif32`: ESP32 is a series of low-cost, low-power system on a chip microcontrollers with integrated Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. ESP32 integrates an antenna switch, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power management modules.

Microcontroller ESP32
Frequency 240MHz
Flash 4MB
RAM 320KB
Vendor AI Thinker

Configuration

Please use esp32cam ID for :ref:`projectconf_env_board` option in :ref:`projectconf`:

[env:esp32cam]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32cam

You can override default AI Thinker ESP32-CAM settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest esp32cam.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:esp32cam]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32cam

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = esp32

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 240000000L

Uploading

AI Thinker ESP32-CAM supports the following uploading protocols:

  • cmsis-dap
  • esp-bridge
  • esp-prog
  • espota
  • esptool
  • iot-bus-jtag
  • jlink
  • minimodule
  • olimex-arm-usb-ocd
  • olimex-arm-usb-ocd-h
  • olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h
  • olimex-jtag-tiny
  • tumpa

Default protocol is esptool

You can change upload protocol using :ref:`projectconf_upload_protocol` option:

[env:esp32cam]
platform = espressif32
board = esp32cam

upload_protocol = esptool

Debugging

:ref:`piodebug` - "1-click" solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging :ref:`debugging_tools` using :ref:`projectconf_debug_tool` option in :ref:`projectconf`.

AI Thinker ESP32-CAM does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
