Overview
The ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 is Espressif's official entry-level development board for the ESP32-C6 SoC. It integrates WiFi 6 (802.11ax, 2.4GHz), Bluetooth 5 LE, and IEEE 802.15.4 — enabling Thread 1.3, Zigbee 3.0, and Matter support on a single RISC-V chip.
The board exposes all 22 GPIO pins on breadboard-compatible headers (J1 and J3), includes a native USB-C port (up to 12 Mbps) for direct communication and programming, and a separate USB-C to UART bridge for flashing and serial monitoring. An addressable RGB LED on GPIO8, Boot and Reset buttons, and a J5 current measurement header round out the hardware features.
With 8MB of SPI flash, hardware crypto acceleration, and native Matter/Thread/Zigbee support in ESP-IDF, this board is the go-to reference platform for Matter end-device development, Zigbee sensor nodes, and Thread mesh nodes.
Use Cases
5Matter Smart Home
Building Matter-compatible smart home devices that work across ecosystems like Apple Home, Google Home, and Amazon Alexa.
Zigbee Sensor Node
Acts as a Zigbee 3.0 end-device sensor node, joining Zigbee networks to report temperature, occupancy, contact state, or other sensor data.
Thread Mesh Node
Participates in Thread 802.15.4 mesh networks as a router or end-device, enabling low-power wireless connectivity for Matter devices.
