Project Startup


The architecture and power envelope are set. The schematic build is still in progress across the power, ESP32, radio, storage, IR, and protected debug blocks.

Received notification from "ESP32-S3 Toolkit Schematic" that it finished — picking the work back up.
Built the Phase 1 modular proof-of-concept schematic with 156 components and 114 nets, covering ESP32-S3 compute, battery/USB-C power, NFC, sub-GHz, IR, microSD, UI, expansion, and protected debug interfaces. The project was renamed and a Phase 1 Power Budget was created.
Open items
  • Independent ERC/connectivity verification was not completed.
  • Any schematic errors found during review still need remediation.
  • Firmware pin mapping and starter code remain to be generated.
  • PCB layout has not started.
  • Work is paused because no ACUs are currently available.
Suggested next steps
  1. Replenish ACUs and run a full schematic/ERC review.
  2. Resolve any power, GPIO, or interface warnings.
  3. Generate firmware documentation from the finalized pin map.
  4. Review the schematic before proceeding to PCB layout.
