Overview

This design document specifies the hardware architecture for the Olimex ESP32-EVB, an evaluation board built around the Espressif ESP-WROOM-32 module. Key integrated features include a 10/100 Ethernet interface powered by the Microchip LAN8710A-EZC PHY, a CAN bus interface using the MCP2551-I/SN transceiver, and an infrared communication subsystem with an RPM7236-H8 receiver and IR333-A transmitter. The power management section includes a Silergy SY8089AAAC step-down converter and a Microchip MCP73833 LiPo battery charger with status LEDs. The board also incorporates two RAS-0515 relays for power switching, a MicroSD card slot, and a WCH CH340T USB-to-UART bridge for programming and debugging. Extension headers provide access to GPIOs and bootstrapping settings.

Use Cases

  • Industrial IoT gateways with Ethernet and CAN connectivity
  • Home automation systems utilizing dual relay control
  • Battery-powered remote monitoring stations with LiPo management
  • Prototyping Wi-Fi/Bluetooth to Ethernet bridges
  • IR-controlled smart home devices
