In this setup, ESP device acts as a SDIO peripheral and provides Wi-Fi capabilities to host. Please connect ESP device to Raspberry-Pi with jumper cables as mentioned below. It may be good to use small length cables to ensure signal integrity. Power ESP32 and Raspberry-Pi separately with a power supply that provide sufficient power. ESP32 can be powered through PC using micro-USB cable.
Raspberry-Pi pinout can be found here!
Raspberry-Pi Pin | ESP Pin | Function |
---|---|---|
13 | IO13 | DAT3 |
15 | IO14 | CLK |
16 | IO15 | CMD |
18 | IO2 | DAT0 |
22 | IO4 | DAT1 |
31 | EN | ESP Reset |
37 | IO12 | DAT2 |
39 | GND | GND |
Tested on Raspberry-Pi 3B+ and Raspberry-Pi 4B
By default, the SDIO pins of Raspberry-pi are not configured and are internally used for built-in Wi-Fi interface. Please enable SDIO pins by appending following line to /boot/config.txt file
dtoverlay=sdio,poll_once=off
dtoverlay=disable-bt
Please reboot Raspberry-Pi after changing this file.
- Execute following commands in root directory of cloned ESP-IOT-Bridge repository on Raspberry-Pi
$ cd esp-iot-bridge/examples/spi_and_sdio_host/host_driver/linux/host_control
$ ./rpi_init.sh sdio
- This script compiles and loads host driver on Raspberry-Pi.
1.Please check ESP-IDF Setup and use appropriate ESP-IDF version
2.Please check menuconfig Setup and use SDIO Interface
- In the terminal where you are going to use ESP-IDF
$ . $HOME/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
- In root directory of ESP-IOT-Bridge repository, execute below command
$ cd esp-iot-bridge
- Execute following command to configure the project
$ idf.py menuconfig
- This will open project configuration window. To select SDIO transport interface, navigate to
Bridge Driver Configuration -> Transport layer -> SDIO interface -> select
and exit from menuconfig. - Use below command to compile and flash the project. Replace <serial_port> with ESP peripheral's serial port.
$ idf.py -p <serial_port> build flash
Once ESP device has been flashed a valid firmware and booted successfully, you can see successful enumeration log on Raspberry-Pi side as:
