⚠️ FireBeetle 2 ESP32 P4 Firmware Notice (ESP32-C6)
Due to a firmware flashing issue during early production, the onboard ESP32-C6 module on some FireBeetle 2 ESP32 P4 boards manufactured on October 31, 2025 may not have been successfully programmed with the factory firmware.

If your device from this batch shows related issues (such as abnormal behavior or failure to function properly), we recommend manually reflashing the firmware to resolve the problem.

Please refer to the ESP32-C6 Firmware Update Guide and follow the instructions on the page to complete the firmware update before using the device.

Tutorial - First Time Use

Arduino IDE Configuration

When you use the ESP32 for the first time, you need to know the following steps:

1. Add the ESP32 development board in Arduino IDE (How to add the ESP32 board to Arduino IDE?)
2. Select the development board and serial port
3. Burn the program

Select Development Board

1. Click Tools->Board, select "ESP32P4 Dev Module".

   

2. The development board needs to be set before burning the code:

• USB CDC On Boot:
  • Enabled: Print serial port data through the USB interface
  • Disabled: Print serial port data through TX and RX
• Partition Scheme: Disk partitioning scheme. Please select the appropriate storage space according to the Flash of the development board.
• Port: Development board port (Just make sure the COM number is correct, which has nothing to do with the subsequent chip model.)

LED Blinking

• Copy the code into the window and click "Upload" to upload the code.

int led = 3;
void setup() {
  pinMode(led,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  digitalWrite(led,HIGH);
  delay(1000);
  digitalWrite(led,LOW);
  delay(1000);
}

• Wait for the burning to complete, and you can see the on-board LED light start to flash.
  - If the LED light does not flash, reset the development board.
  - If the burning fails, please check Frequently Asked Questions.
