β Safe Pins to Use
These pins are safe for general GPIO usage without boot or system conflicts
π‘ Why Are These Pins Safe?
β οΈ Pins to Avoid or Use with Caution
Reserved for critical functions. Misuse may cause boot failures, programming issues, or system conflicts.
Boot behavior & flash voltage
Low-level debugging interface
USB Serial/JTAG communication
Memory & PSRAM connections
Debugging & firmware uploads
| PIN | Label | Why Avoid | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| IO0 | GPIO0 | Must be pulled high (default) or low (to enter UART download mode) at reset. Using it for other functions can interfere with boot mode configuration. | π οΈ Strapping |
| IO3 | GPIO3 | Sampled at reset to select JTAG interface (USB Serial/JTAG controller vs. external pins). Improper use can disable external JTAG or alter debug interface. | π οΈ Strapping |
| IO9 | FSPIHD | Connected to external flash (data/hold signal) on most modules. Not recommended for use as GPIO, since it must remain dedicated to flash communication. | β‘ Flash |
| IO10 | FSPICS0 | Used to select the external flash chip. It is required for flash access and cannot be repurposed without losing flash connectivity | β‘ Flash |
| IO11 | FSPID | Used as a data line for flash (and in-package PSRAM). It should not be used as GPIO when the flash/PSRAM is in use. | β‘ Flash |
| IO12 | FSPICLK | Drives the flash (and PSRAM) clock. This critical signal must be reserved for memory and not used as general GPIO. | β‘ Flash |
| IO13 | FSPIQ | Used as a data line for flash/PSRAM transfers. Not available for other uses when flash/PSRAM is connected. | β‘ Flash |
| IO14 | FSPIWP | Connected to external flash (data/write-protect signal). Not recommended as GPIO because itβs reserved for flash operations. | β‘ Flash |
| IO38 | FSPIWP | On flash-equipped chips, this pin is tied to the flashβs WP# (or D3) line. It should be avoided for other use, as itβs needed for flash operations. | β‘ Flash |
