Firmware development for the 40-pin ESP32-S3-WROOM-1 camera board — the Freenove ESP32-S3-WROOM (FNK0085) and the AliExpress "ESP32-S3 CAM" / "ESP32-S3-WROOM N16R8 CAM" clones that copy its header: 20 pins a side, a 24-pin DVP camera FPC connector for an OV2640/OV3660, an on-board microSD slot on the SDMMC bus, a WS2812, two USB-C sockets (CH343 bridge and native USB), ESP32-S3-WROOM-1-N8R8 or N16R8 with 8 MB octal PSRAM. Use when working on this board or any ESP32-S3 DVP camera board: project…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# ESP32-S3-WROOM CAM — 40-pin

Twenty pins a side, a DVP camera connector on the front, a microSD slot on the back, and
two USB-C sockets. The camera claims **fourteen** of the thirty-six GPIO pads, the card
claims three more, and the octal PSRAM claims three that are printed on the header and
look free. What is left is seven pins.

That arithmetic is the whole story of this board. It also means the Arduino defaults for
`Wire` and `SPI` land squarely on camera data lines, and that the single most common
failure — "the camera does not initialise" — is almost never the camera.

- `reference/board-hardware.md` — the board: the full 40-pin header table with every
  alternate function, the camera and SDMMC maps traced to the vendor's own code, the
  PSRAM and strapping pins, the two USB routes, the power tree, the flash/partition
  layout — **plus** a development guide (§8 toolchain, §9 platformio.ini, §10 flashing
  and recovery, §11 symptom → cause → fix table).
- `reference/esp32s3-soc.md` — the silicon: which GPIOs do not exist, strapping semantics
  from the datasheet's own tables, ADC1/ADC2 and touch maps, the LCD_CAM DVP controller,
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add alexex1993/mcu-skills/esp32s3-cam-40pin@sha256:81b6fa50a1a17d3e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.816967f, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
