Overview

This document provides an overview of the ESP-BSP (Board Support Package) API as implemented by this board.

While the ESP-BSP framework defines a unified API shared across multiple boards, this documentation focuses only on the APIs supported by the current board. Any APIs not applicable to this board’s hardware are excluded or may not be functional.

The goal of this document is to make it easier for developers to understand the available APIs and how to use them consistently across different boards.

General

Pinout

Each BSP defines a set of macros for default pin assignments used by its hardware peripherals. These macros allow users to configure or reference standard interfaces like I2C, SPI, LCD, audio, or SD cards easily.

[!NOTE] Not all boards support all interfaces. You should always check if the related capability macro (e.g., BSP_CAPS_SDCARD) is defined.

I2C

Some devices included in BSPs (e.g., sensors, displays, audio codecs) communicate via the I2C interface. In many cases, I2C is initialized automatically as part of the device setup. However, you can manually initialize or deinitialize the I2C peripheral using the following API:

/* Initialize the default I2C bus used by the BSP */
bsp_i2c_init();

...

/* Deinitialize the I2C bus */
bsp_i2c_deinit();

If you need direct access to the initialized I2C bus (e.g., to communicate with an external peripheral not handled by the BSP), you can retrieve the I2C bus handle:

i2c_master_bus_handle_t i2c = bsp_i2c_get_handle();

[!NOTE] The BSP ensures that I2C initialization is performed only once, even if called multiple times. This helps avoid conflicts when multiple components rely on the same I2C bus.

ADC

Some devices included in BSPs (such as buttons, battery monitoring, etc.) use the ADC peripheral. In most cases, the ADC is automatically initialized as part of the specific device setup. However, you can manually initialize the ADC using the following API:

/* Initialize the ADC peripheral */
bsp_adc_initialize();

If you need direct access to the ADC instance (e.g., for custom measurements), you can retrieve the handle:

adc_oneshot_unit_handle_t adc = bsp_adc_get_handle();

[!NOTE] The BSP ensures the ADC is initialized only once, even if bsp_adc_initialize() is called multiple times.

Features

Some boards support enabling or disabling specific hardware features (such as LCD, SD card, camera, etc.) to reduce power consumption or manage shared resources. The BSP provides a unified API to control these features:

/* Enable the LCD feature */
bsp_feature_enable(BSP_FEATURE_LCD, true);

/* Disable the speaker to reduce power usage */
bsp_feature_enable(BSP_FEATURE_SPEAKER, false);

Supported feature flags (may vary depending on the board):

[!NOTE] Not all BSPs support feature toggling, and some features may not be available or controllable via this API. Always check the BSP header or documentation for supported features.

[!TIP] Disabling unused features can help reduce power consumption, especially in battery-powered applications.

Identification

Each BSP defines an identifier macro in the form of BSP_BOARD_*.

The ADC can be initialized inside BSP, when needed.

:floppy_disk: SD Card and SPIFFS

SPIFFS Initialization / Deinitialization

Each BSP provides a simple API for mounting and unmounting the SPI Flash File System (SPIFFS).

/* Mount SPIFFS to the virtual file system */
bsp_spiffs_mount();

/* ... perform file operations ... */

/* Unmount SPIFFS from the virtual file system */
bsp_spiffs_unmount();

SD Card Initialization / Deinitialization

The BSP offers a flexible API for working with SD cards. In addition to the default mount and unmount functions, you can also use a configuration structure or access preconfigured host and slot structures.

Mount with Default Configuration

/* Mount microSD card to the virtual file system */
bsp_sdcard_mount();

/* ... perform file operations ... */

/* Unmount microSD card */
bsp_sdcard_unmount();

Mount with Custom Configuration

Some BSPs allow selecting between SDMMC and SPI interfaces for the SD card. Use the appropriate API function based on your hardware:

bsp_sdcard_cfg_t cfg = {0};
/* Mount SD card using SDMMC interface */
bsp_sdcard_sdmmc_mount(&cfg);

or

bsp_sdcard_cfg_t cfg = {0};
/* Mount SD card using SPI interface */
bsp_sdcard_sdspi_mount(&cfg)

[!NOTE] Not all BSPs support both SDMMC and SPI modes. Check the board documentation to see which interfaces are available. If an unsupported interface is used, the API will return ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error.

After Mounting

Once the SD card or SPIFFS is mounted, you can use standard file I/O functions (fopen, fread, fwrite, fclose, etc.) provided by ESP-IDF’s VFS (Virtual File System).

To print basic SD card information (after mounting), you can use:

sdmmc_card_t *sdcard = bsp_sdcard_get_handle();
sdmmc_card_print_info(stdout, sdcard);

[!TIP] The bsp_sdcard_get_handle() function returns a pointer to the sdmmc_card_t structure, which contains detailed information about the connected SD card.

:pager: Display and Touch

Initialization

ESP-BSP provides two ways to initialize the display, touch and LVGL.

Simple method:

/* Initialize display, touch, and LVGL */
lv_display_t display = bsp_display_start();

Configurable method:

bsp_display_cfg_t cfg = {
    .lvgl_port_cfg = ESP_LVGL_PORT_INIT_CONFIG(),   /* See LVGL Port for more info */
    .buffer_size = BSP_LCD_V_RES * BSP_LCD_H_RES,   /* Screen buffer size in pixels */
    .double_buffer = true,                          /* Allocate two buffers if true */
    .flags = {
        .buff_dma = true,                           /* Use DMA-capable LVGL buffer */
        .buff_spiram = false,                       /* Allocate buffer in PSRAM if true */
    }
};
cfg.lvgl_port_cfg.task_stack = 10000;   /* Example: change LVGL task stack size */
/* Initialize display, touch, and LVGL */
lv_display_t display = bsp_display_start_with_config(&cfg);

After initialization, you can use the LVGL API or LVGL Port API.

Initialization without LVGL - NoGLIB BSP

To initialize the LCD without LVGL, use:

esp_lcd_panel_handle_t panel_handle;
esp_lcd_panel_io_handle_t io_handle;
const bsp_display_config_t bsp_disp_cfg = {
    .max_transfer_sz = (BSP_LCD_H_RES * 100) * sizeof(uint16_t),
};
BSP_ERROR_CHECK_RETURN_NULL(bsp_display_new(&bsp_disp_cfg, &panel_handle, &io_handle));

To initialize the LCD touch without LVGL, use:

esp_lcd_touch_handle_t tp;
bsp_touch_new(NULL, &tp);

After initialization, you can use the ESP-LCD API and ESP-LCD Touch API.

Set Brightness

/* Set display brightness to 100% */
bsp_display_backlight_on();

/* Set display brightness to 0% */
bsp_display_backlight_off();

/* Set display brightness to 50% */
bsp_display_brightness_set(50);

[!NOTE] Some boards do not support changing brightness. They return an ESP_ERR_NOT_SUPPORTED error.

LVGL API Usage (only when initialized with LVGL)

All LVGL calls must be protected using lock/unlock:

/* Wait until other tasks finish screen operations */
bsp_display_lock(0);
...
lv_obj_t * screen = lv_disp_get_scr_act(disp_handle);
lv_obj_t * obj = lv_label_create(screen);
...
/* Unlock after screen operations are done */
bsp_display_unlock();

Screen rotation (only when initialized with LVGL)

bsp_display_lock(0);
/* Rotate display to 90 */
bsp_display_rotate(display, LV_DISPLAY_ROTATION_90);
bsp_display_unlock();

[!NOTE] Some LCDs do not support hardware rotation and instead use software rotation, which consumes more memory.

Available constants

Constants like screen resolution, pin configuration, and other options are defined in the BSP header files ({bsp_name}.h, display.h, touch.h). Below are some of the most relevant predefined constants:

) 

For maximum flexibility, this function performs only reset and initialization of the display. You must turn on the display explicitly by calling esp_lcd_panel_disp_on_off(). The display’s backlight is not turned on either. You can use bsp_display_backlight_on/off(), bsp_display_brightness_set() (on supported boards) or implement your own backlight control.

If you want to free resources allocated by this function, you can use esp_lcd API, ie.:

esp_lcd_panel_del(panel);
esp_lcd_panel_io_del(io);
spi_bus_free(spi_num_from_configuration);

/* Initialize all available buttons */
button_handle_t btns[BSP_BUTTON_NUM] = {NULL};
bsp_iot_button_create(btns, NULL, BSP_BUTTON_NUM);

/* Register a callback for button press */
for (int i = 0; i < BSP_BUTTON_NUM; i++) {
    iot_button_register_cb(btns[i], BUTTON_PRESS_DOWN, NULL, btn_handler, (void *) i);
}

/* Called on button press */
static void btn_handler(void *button_handle, void *usr_data)
{
    int button_index = (int)usr_data;
    ESP_LOGI(TAG, "Button %d pressed", button_index);
}

:battery: Battery

Some boards with battery support can measure the battery voltage using an ADC channel. BSP provides a simple API for this:

/* Initialize the battery voltage measurement */
bsp_voltage_init();

/* Read battery voltage in millivolts */
int voltage = bsp_voltage_battery_get();
