The ESP32-C5-WIFI6-KIT is a development board designed by Waveshare based on the ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 module for dual-band Wi-Fi and multi-protocol IoT gateway applications. The ESP32-C5 is a single-core RISC-V chip, supports dual-band Wi-Fi 6 (2.4GHz and 5GHz), and integrates BLE 5, Zigbee, and Thread protocols for flexible use as a smart home hub or cross-protocol communication gateway.
Equipped with 240 MHz RISC-V processor, 384 KB Static RAM, 16 MB Flash, and provides options for 4 MB or 8 MB PSRAM, enables stable handling the concurrent tasks of multiple protocol stacks and running medium-load applications. Developers can leverage mature development frameworks such as ESP-IDF and Arduino for rapid prototyping and product implementation, making it suitable for IoT scenarios such as smart gateways and multi-protocol device integration.

Key features include:

• Adopts ESP32-C5-WROOM-1 series module with RISC-V 32-bit processor, up to 240MHz main frequency
• Integrated with 384KB Static RAM, 320KB ROM, and 16MB Flash, with options for 4MB or 8MB PSRAM
• Integrated 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5 (LE), and IEEE 802.15.4 (Zigbee 3.0 and Thread) wireless communications, with outstanding RF performance
• Onboard batt. recharge management module, with reserved 3.7V MX1.25 Lithium batt. header for external batt. power supply
• USB Type-C port, easier to use
• Castellated module allows soldering directly to carrier boards, with rich peripheral interfaces
• Supports multiple low-power operating modes, enabling flexible adjustment of the balance between communication range, data rate, and power consumption to meet the power requirements of various application scenarios
