Fine - with a little care
sampled at boot or shared with debug/serial| Pin | Label | What to know | Role |
|---|---|---|---|
| TDO | MTDO (GPIO15) | Keep HIGH during boot (internal PU); if LOW on reset, bootloader log is silenced and boot mode may change. | Strapping |
| TCK | MTCK (GPIO13) | Used for JTAG debugging (TCK); avoid using as GPIO if JTAG is needed. | Other |
| TDI | MTDI (GPIO12) | Keep LOW during boot (internal PD); pulling HIGH at reset selects 1.8V flash mode, causing flash brownout if 3.3V flash is used. | Strapping |
| TMS | MTMS (GPIO14) | Used for JTAG debugging (TMS); driving it as GPIO may interfere with JTAG or produce spurious signals at boot. | Other |
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 7 pins, the Espressif ESP32-LyraTD-SYNA exposes 4 GPIO plus 5V, 3V3 and GND for power.
On the analog side there are 4 ADC-capable pins for sensors and battery monitoring and 4 capacitive-touch inputs.
4 of the exposed pins carry boot-time or system duties on the ESP32 (TDO, TCK, TDI and 1 more).
Getting started
flash your first firmware in ~2 minutes1
Connect over USB
Install your USB-serial driver (CH340 / CP210x) if no port appears. Not detected? Hold BOOT while plugging in.

About this board
At its core is the ESP32 - a dual-core Xtensa with both Bluetooth Classic and BLE.
Expect to pay about $25.00 - above the ~$20 typical for ESP32 boards.
Only 4 GPIO are broken out, where most ESP32 boards manage about 24 - worth checking the pinout covers what you need.
Onboard you'll find 8MB (QSPI) PSRAM, a microphone (Dual mic array), a speaker connector, an audio codec (CX20721), an amplifier and Reset/Boot/Play/Vol+/Vol-/Mute buttons.
The ESP32-LyraTD-SYNA is an advanced voice development board powered by the ESP32-WROVER module. It integrates Synaptics’ dual-microphone array for advanced voice processing, making it ideal for voice-controlled applications, smart assistants, and AI audio solutions. The board features Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, an audio codec, an amplifier, and multiple peripheral interfaces for seamless integration with smart home and embedded audio projects.
- Synaptics CX20921 far-field voice input DSP (AudioSmart)
- Integrated AudioSmart Class-D amplifier, 2.8W per channel
- Two-microphone array with noise reduction and echo cancellation
- 3.5mm earphone jack
