ESP32-S2

In this article, we explore a simplified ESP32 boot process using single-image binaries to speed up build and flash times — ideal for development workflows. This approach sacrifices features like OTA updates but enables faster iteration.

This article explains the booting process of Espressif devices up to ESP32-C6 (and probably newer devices).

This article addresses the complexity of Espressif SoCs by offering a visual, structured compilation of crucial technical data from their datasheets and TRMs. The main takeaway for the reader is a simplified, actionable understanding of the memory maps, caches, peripherals, and eFuse blocks, which is essential for low-level system and driver development.
