How to Run Linux on an ESP32

Can you run Linux on an ESP32? Until recently, you could just answer “no!“ But, in fact, you can run Linux on a specific variant of the ESP32-S3 MCU! Based on this, Clem saw an opportunity to build his own Linux-powered SBC in the form factor of the Raspberry Pi 4 Compute Module. Along the way, he creates a CM4-style template, a simple command line flashing tool to make the process easier, and two iterations of his module (called Sudosom) that could be used whenever a real Raspberry Pi might be overkill, but a simple MCU just won’t cut it for your project. Discuss the episode, find all resources for the project, and ask Clem questions on the element14 Community! element14 Community discussion on using Linux on the ESP32-S3: Engage with the element14 presents team on the element14 Community - suggest builds, find project files, and see behind the scenes video: Visit the element14 Community for more great activities and free hardware: Tech Spotlights: RoadTest and Reviews: Project14: #0:00 Welcome to element14 presents #0:22 Overview #2:31 The PCB in KiCAD #6:15 Assembly #8:10 Linux #10:25 Another Iteration?? #15:12 Let’s Demo! #17:09 Give Your Feedback #esp32 #esp32project #linux #raspberrypi #pcbdesign #pcbdesigning
