1. Introduction
1.1. ESP32
ESP32 provides a Wi-Fi solution in the 2.4GHz band by using 40nm technology. It delivers
highly integrated Wi-Fi SoC solution to meet the continuous demands for efficient power
usage, compact design and reliable performance.
You can use ESP32 series hardware and software provided by Espressif to develop and
program some useful Wi-Fi and wearable electronics applications and products in Internet of
Things(IoT) industry.
1.2. Requirements
Before getting started to run and develop firmware applications on your ESP32, there are
some hardware and software requirements.
1.2.1. Hardware
An ESP32 development board or ESP-WROOM-03(build-in ESP32).
A USB TTL Serial cable or a Micro-USB cable.
Debian GNU/Linux OS on an x86 machine.
Notes:
1. We assume to use the Debian or Ubuntu Linux OS. You may make some modifications for the
other Linux OS.
2. For more information about ESP-WROOM-03, refer to “ESP-WROOM-03 Specification".

1. Introduction
Serial Terminal Tool
We recommend using Minicom as a serial terminal tool to show the communication
information and debug code.
Uploading Tool
We recommend using Python 2.6 or 2.7 and esptool_ESP32.py to upload firmware to the
flash.
For the latest version of Python, go to Download Python.
esptool_ESP32.py file is in the ESP32 RTOS SDK > tools folder, refer to Figure 1-2.

I. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Declaration of
Conformity
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates
uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by
one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Any changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by Espressif may
cause harmful interference and void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm
between the radiator& your body.
This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.
II. EC Declaration of Conformity
This equipment can be used in member states of the European Union once the corresponding
administrative license is obtained.
Espressif, as manufacturer of the product ESP32, declares that the said product complies with
the essential requirements established in Article 3 of the Council of Europe Directive 1999/5/
CE, dated 9th March, 1999.!

The OEM or final integrator must ensure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes an
additional label on the outside of the final product housing with the following contents:
Company Name
Model:ESP32
FCC ID:2AC7Z-ESP32
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two
conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
To satisfy FCC RF Exposure requirements for this transmission devices, a separation distance of
20cm or more should be maintained between the antenna of this device and persons during
operation. To ensure compliance, operation at closer than this distance is not recommended. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be colocated or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be
capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number
(A) If using a permanently affixed label, the modular transmitter must be labeled with its own FCC
identification number, and, if the FCC identification number is not visible when the module is
installed inside another device, then the outside of the device into which the module is installed
must also display a label referring to the enclosed module. This exterior label can use wording such
as the following: “Contains Transmitter Module FCC ID: 2AC7Z-ESP32” or “Contains FCC ID:
2AC7Z-ESP32.” Any similar wording that expresses the same meaning may be used. The Grantee
may either provide such a label, an example of which must be included in the application for
equipment authorization, or, must provide adequate instructions along with the module which
explain this requirement. In the latter case, a copy of these instructions must be included in the
application for equipment authorization
