Freely assignable - no strapping, flash, USB or JTAG duties. Ideal first picks for buttons, sensors and LEDs.
Fine - with a little care
sampled at boot or shared with debug/serial| Pin | Label | What to know | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| IO0 | GPIO0 (FSPIQ) | IO MUX pin of the general-purpose SPI2 (FSPI) bus. The H2 runs its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out, so this pin is free unless your board wires an SPI peripheral to FSPI. | Other |
| IO1 | GPIO1 (FSPICS0) | IO MUX pin of the general-purpose SPI2 (FSPI) bus. The H2 runs its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out, so this pin is free unless your board wires an SPI peripheral to FSPI. | Other |
| IO2 | MTMS | Default JTAG TMS line - using it as GPIO disables external JTAG debugging. It is not a flash pin: the H2 keeps its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out. | JTAG |
| IO3 | MTDO | Default JTAG TDO line - using it as GPIO disables external JTAG debugging. It is not a flash pin: the H2 keeps its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out. | JTAG |
| IO4 | MTCK | Default JTAG TCK line - using it as GPIO disables external JTAG debugging. It is not a flash pin: the H2 keeps its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out. | JTAG |
| IO5 | MTDI | Default JTAG TDI line - using it as GPIO disables external JTAG debugging. It is not a flash pin: the H2 keeps its in-package flash on GPIO15-20, which the QFN32 package does not route out. | JTAG |
| IO24 | U0TXD | Often used for boot log output and serial debugging; repurposing it can disable serial output of boot messages and interfere with console debugging. | UART |
| IO23 | U0RXD | Often used for the serial console and bootloader input; repurposing it may conflict with UART communication for programming or debugging. | UART |
| IO25 | GPIO25 | Used during boot to determine the JTAG interface source; this pin has no internal pull-up/down, so it must not be left floating (an external resistor drives it high/low to avoid unintended JTAG mode selection). | Strapping |
| IO8 | GPIO8 | Must be held at the proper logic level on reset to select the correct boot mode and enable/disable bootloader log output. | Strapping |
| IO9 | GPIO9 | Must be pulled high on reset for normal SPI flash boot (pulling it low while GPIO8 is high forces the chip into download/programming mode). | Strapping |
Only if you know the tricks
wired to flash or USB - expect a fight| Pin | Label | What to know | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| IO27 | USB_D+ | By default, this pin is connected to the internal USB Serial/JTAG controller; using it as a general-purpose IO would disable the USB functionality used for debugging/programming. | USB |
| IO26 | USB_D- | By default, this pin is connected to the chip's internal USB Serial/JTAG peripheral; using it as a general-purpose IO requires disabling or reconfiguring that USB interface. | USB |
These are recommendations, not hard rules - with the right pull-ups, timing and boot-state awareness most pins can be made to work. When in doubt, start green.

Across 30 pins (2.54 mm pitch), the Espressif ESP32-H2-DevKitM-1 exposes 19 GPIO plus 3V3, VBAT, GND and 5V for power.
Peripheral wiring is straightforward: TX/RX on GPIO24 and GPIO23 cover serial logging and flashing.
Beyond plain digital I/O you get 5 ADC-capable pins for sensors and battery monitoring and PWM on every GPIO.
11 of the exposed pins carry boot-time or system duties on the ESP32-H2 (IO0, IO1, IO2 and 8 more) - check the guidance above before wiring anything to them. IO13, IO14, IO10, IO11 and 2 more are free of any such role - the safest first picks.
