.. _DevKitC-Overview:
Overview
--------
ESP32-DevKitC V4 is a small-sized ESP32-based development board produced by `Espressif <https://espressif.com> `_ . Most of the I/O pins are broken out to the pin headers on both sides for easy interfacing. Developers can either connect peripherals with jumper wires or mount ESP32-DevKitC V4 on a breadboard.
To cover a wide range of user requirements, the following versions of ESP32-DevKitC V4 are available:
- different ESP32 modules

Power Supply Options
--------------------
There are three mutually exclusive ways to provide power to the board:
* Micro USB port, default power supply
* 5V / GND header pins
* 3V3 / GND header pins
.. warning ::
The power supply must be provided using **one and only one of the options above** , otherwise the board and/or the power supply source can be damaged.

Note on C15
-----------
The component C15 may cause the following issues on earlier ESP32-DevKitC V4 boards:
* The board may boot into Download mode
* If you output clock on GPIO0, C15 may impact the signal
2021-12-10 02:10:47 -05:00
In case these issues occur, please remove the component. The figure below shows the location of C15 highlighted in yellow.

Start Application Development
------------------------------
Before powering up your ESP32-DevKitC V4, please make sure that the board is in good condition with no obvious signs of damage.
After that, proceed to :doc: `../../get-started/index` , where Section :ref: `get-started-step-by-step` will quickly help you set up the development environment and then flash an example project onto your board.
