## <a name="overview"> Overview </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V2 is an ESP32 development board with 8 MB Flash that uses
the EPS32 chip directly. It integrates
- a SemTech SX1276 or SX1278 for LoRaWAN communication and
- a SSD1306 0.96-inch 128x64 OLED display connected via I2C.
Since the board is
[open source hardware](https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series),
a number of clones are available.

## <a name="hardware"> Hardware </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
This section describes
- the [MCU](#mcu),
- the default [board configuration](#board_configuration),
- [optional hardware configurations](#optional_hardware),
- the [board pinout](#pinout).
### <a name="mcu"> MCU </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
Most features of the board are provided by the ESP32 SoC. For detailed
information about the ESP32, see section \ref esp32_mcu "MCU ESP32".
### <a name="board_configuration"> Board Configuration </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V2 has the following on-board components:
- SemTech SX1278 or SX1276 for LoRaWAN communication
- SSD1306 0.96-inch 128x64 OLED display connected via I2C
- external 32.768 kHz crystal for RTC
There are two hardware versions of the board:
- SemTech SX1278 for LoRaWAN communication in the 433 MHz band
- SemTech SX1276 for LoRaWAN communication in the 868/915 MHz band
Since many GPIOs are broken out, they can be used for different purposes
in different applications. For flexibility, some GPIOs might be listed in
various peripheral configurations. For example, GPIO0 is used in the ADC
channel definition \ref ADC_GPIOS and the PWM channel definition \ref PWM0_GPIOS.
This is possible because GPIOs are only used for a specific peripheral
interface when
- the corresponding peripheral module is used, e.g., module `periph_i2c`, or
- a corresponding init function is called e.g., \ref adc_init, \ref dac_init
and \ref pwm_init, or
- the corresponding peripheral interface is used for the first time, e.g.,
\ref spi_acquire.
That is, the purpose for which a GPIO is actually used depends on which module
or function is used first.
@note GPIOs 19, 4, 5, 14, 15, 16, 18, 32, 33, 34, 35, 21, 26, and 27 are
used for board control functions and should not be used for other purposes
unless you exactly know what you are doing.
The following table shows the default board configuration, which is sorted
according to the defined functionality of GPIOs. This configuration can be
overridden by \ref esp32_app_spec_conf "application-specific configurations".

@note
- The configuration of ADC channels contains all ESP32 GPIOs that can be used
as ADC channels.
- GPIO9 and GPIO10 can only be used in **dout** and **dio**
\ref esp32_flash_modes "flash modes".
For detailed information about the configuration of ESP32 boards, see
section \ref esp32_comm_periph "Common Peripherals".
### <a name="oled_display"> Using the OLED Display </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
The 0.96-inch OLED display with 128x64 pixels uses the widely used SSD1306
controller. It is connected via `I2C_DEV(0)`. It can be used with the `pkg/u8g2`
package. For this purpose, the `pkg/u8g2` package has to be used in the
application Makefile
```
USEPKG += u8g2
```
and function `u8g2_Setup_ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname_f` has to be called to
setup the right driver, for example:
```
#include "u8g2.h"
#include "u8x8_riotos.h"
#define SSD1306_I2C_ADDR (0x3c)
u8x8_riotos_t user_data = {
.device_index = I2C_DEV(0),
.pin_cs = GPIO_UNDEF,
.pin_dc = GPIO_UNDEF,
.pin_reset = GPIO16,
};
u8g2_Setup_ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname_f(&u8g2, U8G2_R0,
u8x8_byte_hw_i2c_riotos,
u8x8_gpio_and_delay_riotos);
u8g2_SetUserPtr(&u8g2, &user_data);
u8g2_SetI2CAddress(&u8g2, SSD1306_I2C_ADDR);
u8g2_InitDisplay(&u8g2);
u8g2_SetPowerSave(&u8g2, 0);
```
The `tests/pkg_u8g2` test application is a good example of how to use the
`pkg/u8g2` package. It can be compiled for the board with the following command:
```
TEST_OUTPUT=4 TEST_I2C=0 TEST_ADDR=0x3c TEST_PIN_RESET=GPIO16 \
TEST_DISPLAY=u8g2_Setup_ssd1306_i2c_128x64_noname_f \
BOARD=esp32-heltec-lora32-v2 make -C tests/pkg_u8g2/ flash
```
### <a name="optional_hardware"> Optional Hardware Configurations </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
MRF24J40-based IEEE 802.15.4 radio modules and ENC28J60-based Ethernet
network interface modules have been tested with the board. You could use
the following code in your
\ref esp32_app_spec_conf "application-specific configuration"
to use such modules:
```
#ifdef BOARD_ESP32_HELTEC_LORA32_V2
#if MODULE_MRF24J40
#define MRF24J40_PARAM_CS GPIO12 /* MRF24J40 CS signal */
#define MRF24J40_PARAM_RESET GPIO22 /* MRF24J40 RESET signal */
#define MRF24J40_PARAM_INT GPIO23 /* MRF24J40 INT signal */
#endif
#if MODULE_ENC28J80
#define ENC28J80_PARAM_CS GPIO12 /* ENC28J80 CS signal */
#define ENC28J80_PARAM_RESET GPIO22 /* ENC28J80 RESET signal */
#define ENC28J80_PARAM_INT GPIO23 /* ENC28J80 INT signal */
#endif
#endif
```
For other parameters, the default values defined by the drivers can be used.
@note The **RESET** signal of MRF24J40 and ENC28J60 based modules can also
be connected to the **RST** pin of the board
(see \ref esp32_heltec_lora_32_v2_pinout "pinout") to keep the configured
GPIO free for other purposes.
### <a name="pinout"> Board Pinout </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
The following figure shows the pinout of the defined default configuration
for Heltec WiFi LoRa 32 V2 boards. The light green GPIOs are not used
by configured on-board hardware components and can be used for any
purpose. However, if optional off-board hardware modules are used,
these GPIOs may also be occupied,
see \ref esp32_heltec_lora_32_v2_table_board_configuration "optional functions"
in table board configuration.

[here for SX1278 version](https://github.com/Heltec-Aaron-Lee/WiFi_Kit_series/blob/master/SchematicDiagram/WiFi_LoRa_32(V2)/WiFi_LoRa_32_V2(433%2C470-510).PDF).

## <a name="flashing"> Flashing the Device </a> &nbsp;&nbsp; [[TOC](#toc)]
Flashing RIOT is quite easy. The board has a Micro-USB connector with reset/boot/flash logic. Just connect the board to your host computer and type using the programming port:
```
make flash BOARD=esp32-heltec-lora32-v2 ...
```
For detailed information about ESP32 as well as configuring and compiling RIOT for ESP32 boards, see \ref esp32_riot.
