The ESP32-C6-DevKitM-1 is an entry-level development board built around the ESP32-C6-MINI-1 module, featuring a RISC-V 32-bit single-core processor running at up to 160 MHz. It integrates Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz), Bluetooth 5 (LE), Zigbee 3.0, and Thread 1.3 — making it one of the most connectivity-rich ESP32 boards available.

Most I/O pins are broken out to headers on both sides of the board for easy breadboard mounting or jumper wire connections. The board includes two USB Type-C ports: one via a USB-to-UART bridge for programming and serial communication, and another connected directly to the ESP32-C6 chip supporting USB 2.0 full-speed and JTAG debugging.
