Product Description

The Olimex ESP32‑EVB is a powerful, open-source development platform well-suited for industrial IoT applications. It brings together Ethernet, Wi-Fi, BLE, CAN, IR, microSD, and relay control with a LiPo-powered redundancy system, all wrapped in a compact board. Its flexibility is further enhanced through extensive documentation, programming support (Arduino/ESP‑IDF), and robust variant options for harsh environments. Overview & Key Features

• Open‑source hardware: Design files, schematics, and software resources (ESP‑IDF and Arduino examples) are freely available via Olimex's GitHub repository.
• Core module: Hosts either the ESP32‑WROOM‑32E or the ESP32‑WROOM‑32UE (external antenna, depending on the variant)

Connectivity:

• Ethernet: 100 Mb/s wired interface (LAN8720A PHY)
• Wi‑Fi: 802.11 b/g/n
• CAN bus interface (Microchip MCP2562‑E)
• Built‑in LiPo battery charger (using BL4054B) for backup during power interruptions (functions as a mini UPS). Note: relays, CAN, and USB functions are inactive when only battery-powered due to no step-up converter
• A user button; can be modified via minor hardware soldering to function as a BOOT button for flashing (requires soldering two resistor pads—R46 and R14).
