Detail about ESP8266 WiFi Serial Port With GPIO Interface Wireless Module ( Type B )

Espressif Systems’ Smart Connectivity Platform (ESCP) is a set of high performance, high integration wireless SOCs, designed for space and power constrained mobile platform designers. It provides unsurpassed ability to embed WiFi capabilities within other systems, or to function as a standalone application, with the lowest cost, and minimal space requirement.

ESP8266EX offers a complete and self-contained WiFi networking solution; it can be used to host the application or to offload WiFi networking functions from another application processor.

When ESP8266EX hosts the application, it boots up directly from an external flash. In has integrated cache to improve the performance of the system in such applications.

Alternately, serving as a WiFi adapter, wireless internet access can be added to any micro controller- based design with simple connectivity (SPI/SDIO or I2C/UART interface).

ESP8266EX is among the most integrated WiFi chip in the industry; it integrates the antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low noise receive amplifier, filters, power management modules, it requires minimal external circuitry, and the entire solution, including front-end module, is designed to occupy minimal PCB area.

ESP8266EX also integrates an enhanced version of Tensilica’s L106 Diamond series 32-bit processor, with on-chip SRAM, besides the WiFi functionalities. ESP8266EX is often integrated with external sensors and other application specific devices through its GPIOs; sample codes for such applications are provided in the software development kit (SDK).

Wiring

Re-using FTDI board and an aditional 5V to 3.3V voltage converter, I connected the board the following way:

  • 3.3V & GND
  • TX <-> RX
  • RX <-> TX
  • (GP)IO15 <-> GND
  • CHIP_EN <-> 3.3V
  • (GP)IO0 <-> GND  when flashing (left unconnected otherwise)
