This user guide provides information on the ESP-LyraT-8311A extension board.
This board cannot be bought separately and is usually sold together with other Espressif development boards (e.g., ESP32-S2-Kaluga-1), which will be referred to as *main boards* below.
The ESP-LyraT-8311A extends the functionality of your main board by adding sound processing functionality:
- Audio playback/recording
- Processing of audio signals
- Programmable buttons for easy control
This extension board can be used in many ways. The applications might include voice user interface, voice control, voice authorization, recording and playback of sound, etc.
The description of components starts from the top right corner and then goes clockwise.
**Reserved** means that the functionality is available, but the current version of the kit does not use it.
