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.
2
Match & flash
Set the Tools options shown, then click Upload.
3
Verify it runs
The onboard LED on GPIO8 blinks - swap the pin if your board's LED differs.

About this board
At its core is the ESP32 - a dual-core Xtensa with both Bluetooth Classic and BLE.
Expect to pay about $35.00 - above the ~$20 typical for ESP32 boards.
Onboard you'll find 8MB (QSPI) PSRAM, a microphone (2-mic array), a speaker connector, an audio codec (ES8311), an amplifier and Reset/Boot/Function 1/Function 2 buttons.
The ESP32-Vaquita-DSPG is an advanced voice development board featuring the ESP32-WROVER module. It integrates the DSP Group’s DBMD5P digital signal processor, enabling high-performance voice processing and far-field voice recognition. This board is ideal for smart assistants, IoT voice-controlled devices, and AI-powered audio applications. It supports Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and multiple audio processing features, making it a powerful solution for voice-enabled projects.
- DBMD5P DSP Group audio SoC for far-field voice recognition (HDClear algorithms)
- 360-degree 2-microphone far-field array
- 8W audio power amplifier for external speaker
- Five RGB LEDs
