Espressif Developer Portal

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.

The ESP-IDF Installation Manager (EIM) v0.8 introduces simplified installation across Windows, macOS, and Linux through native package managers. This article covers the new release features, installation methods, offline capabilities, and headless usage for CI/CD pipelines.

Learn how to use the ESP-IDF button component to handle GPIO buttons with event detection, debouncing, and callbacks. A step-by-step guide with practical code examples.

In this article, we explore how to configure GPIO pins as inputs in ESP-IDF and discuss the importance of pull-up/pull-down resistors. We will try two approaches for reading GPIO values: polling and event-driven interrupts, showing how to implement each method effectively.

This article introduces the ESP DNS component and explains why securing DNS resolution is essential for ESP32-based IoT devices. It shows how DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH) can be enabled transparently in ESP-IDF with minimal code changes, using standard DNS APIs. Practical examples and guidance help developers choose the right protocol while balancing security, performance, and resource constraints.

This article walks through Espressif power modes and NuttX power states, then explains how they map to each other. Then it introduces NuttX’s power management system and the concept of governors. The how-to part shows how to control sleep modes from the shell and a custom application. Finally, you will see real power‑consumption measurements across multiple ESP chips to illustrate the practical impact using power states.
