ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1-N8 Development Board (Wi-Fi 6, Zigbee & Thread)
Introduction
The ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 is an entry-level development board based on the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 module. It features a 32-bit single-core RISC-V CPU operating up to 160 MHz, 320 KB ROM, 512 KB SRAM, and 8 MB SPI flash. The board provides multi-protocol wireless connectivity, supporting Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax), Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee 3.0, and Thread 1.3. It breaks out most I/O pins to breadboard-compatible headers. The board includes a USB-to-UART bridge and a native ESP32-C6 USB Type-C port for power, flashing, and communication. An addressable RGB LED is connected to GPIO8.
ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 is built around ESP32-C6, a RISC-V 32-bit single-core CPU that operates at up to 160 MHz, and integrates a rich set of peripherals. Users can power off the CPU and make use of the low-power co-processor to constantly monitor the peripherals for changes.

| Key Component | Description |
| ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 | ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 is general-purpose module supporting Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee 3.0 and Thread). It's built around the ESP32-C6 chip, and comes with an 8 MB SPI flash. ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 uses on-board PCB antenna. For more information, see ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 Datasheet. |
| Pin Header | All available GPIO pins (except for the SPI bus for flash) are broken out to the pin headers on the board. |
| 5 V to 3.3 V LDO | Power regulator that converts a 5V supply into a 3.3V output. |
| 3.3 V Power on LED | Turns on when the USB power is connected to the board. |
| USB-to-UART Bridge | Single-chip USB-to-UART bridge provides transfer rates up to 3 Mbps. |
| ESP32-C6 USB Type-C Port | The USB Type-C port on the ESP32-C6 chip is compliant with USB 2.0 full speed. It is capable of up to 12 Mbps transfer speed (Note that this port does not support the 480 Mbps high-speed transfer mode). |
| Boot Button | Download button. Holding down Boot and then pressing Reset initiates Firmware Download mode for downloading firmware through the serial port. |
| Reset Button | Press this button to reset the system. |
| USB Type-C to UART Port | Used for power supply to the board and the communication with the ESP32-C6 chip via the on-board USB-to-UART bridge. |
| RGB LED | Addressable RGB LED, driven by GPIO8. |
| J5 | Used for current measurement. See details in Section Current Measurement. |
Pin Header: The two tables below provide the Name and Function of the pin headers on both sides of the board (J1 and J3). The pin header names are shown in the figure of ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 Layout.

The differences between ESP32-C6-DevKitM-1 and ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1-N8
The ESP32-C6-DevKitM-1 is based on the ESP32-C6-MINI-1 (U) module, which has a 4 MB SPI flash, while the ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1-N8 is equipped with the ESP32-C6-WROOM-1 module, which has an 8 MB flash.
The amount of flash memory can affect the amount of data that can be stored on the board and the complexity of the programs that can be run on it.
