ESP32

Hands-on embedded development with TinyGo and Go on ESP32 microcontrollers. Learn GPIO control, displays, sensors, Wi-Fi connectivity, and edge AI concepts through practical assignments.

Connecting an ESP32 to a cloud platform usually means HTTP libraries, JSON parsers, and TLS handshakes. This tutorial shows a different approach: a single UDP datagram, built with snprintf, carrying structured sensor data in about 130 bytes. The TagoTiP open specification makes it possible by defining the data structure so you don’t have to.

The RED DA Assessment Tool simplifies the process of achieving cybersecurity compliance for ESP32 devices in line with the EU’s EN 18031 standards. This article explains how the tool helps you gather, validate, and generate all necessary documentation for RED Delegated Act self-assessment, including uploading configuration and SBOM files, completing risk assessments, mapping technical requirements, and preparing a declaration of conformity—making self-declaration fast, accurate, and accessible for IoT developers.

The EU Cyber Resilience Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements for products with digital elements placed on the EU market. This blog outlines what the CRA means for ESP32-based products, the obligations for OEM manufacturers, and how Espressif will support customers in achieving compliance.

This article explains how manufacturers can use the ESP32 ecosystem to build and maintain secure firmware over time, especially in light of new regulations like the EU Cyber Resilience Act. It highlights tools such as vulnerability dashboards, Long-Term Support branches, and secure OTA updates to ensure ongoing compliance and device security.

This blog post introduces the esp-wifi-remote component, which extends Wi-Fi functionality to ESP32 chips that lack native Wi-Fi support. We will explore the esp-wifi-remote ecosystem, its components, architecture, and integration with esp-hosted.

Fast and secure device restoration during boot-up is critical for real-time IoT applications like smart lighting. In this article, we explore how to reduce boot-up delays by restoring device state early, directly from the ESP-IDF bootloader.

Espressif is streamlining RED Delegated Act (RED-DA) compliance by providing pre-certified firmware platforms, documentation templates, and partner support to help developers meet the upcoming EN 18031 standard. With flexible pathways including self-declaration and third-party assessments, developers can accelerate EU market readiness for Aug 2025 and beyond.

This article extends the NuttX motor control system with inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensor integration for vibration measurement and wireless data streaming capabilities using the ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi connectivity.

Mosquitto – the industry-standard MQTT broker – has been ported to ESP-IDF. Its lightweight version retains Mosquitto’s core functionality and security features to run on resource-constrained IoT devices. This MQTT broker is ideal for edge computing, testing, and standalone IoT deployments. In this article, we will do an overview and show you how to get started.

This article demonstrates how to implement motor control and speed sensing on an ESP32-C6 using NuttX RTOS. It covers setting up MCPWM for motor control, ADC for potentiometer reading, and quadrature encoder for speed measurement. The implementation showcases NuttX’s real-time capabilities through a practical example using common peripherals and sensors.
