Espressif KiCad Library

GitHub stars GitHub forks GitHub issues

Notice: A major update from version 1.0.1 was made to be compliant to the KLC. Please consider updating your library and checking the symbols and footprints.

From the version 2.0.0, the library instalation process is done by the PCM.

This repository contains the Symbols, Footprint, and 3D Models for the Espressif SoC and Modules family.

  • Notice: The libraries are provided in the hope that they will be useful but without a warranty of any kind.

The libraries in this repository are intended to be used with KiCad version 7.

For the KiCad 6 legacy library, please use this branch instead.

Each footprint library is stored as a directory with the .pretty suffix. The footprint files are .kicad_mod files within.

Manual Installation - PCM

The Espressif KiCad library is distributed via the Pluguin and Content Manager (PCM) and the installation is done automatically.

To install the library, you need to download the "espressif-kicad-addon.zip" file from the latest release. For legacy support, please visit the legacy branch and follow the instructions from there.

For KiCad 6 and 7, you can use the following steps:

  1. On KiCad, open the PCM in the main KiCad window.

First Step

  1. The PCM window will display a list of available plugins, libraries, and color themes. You can browse through the categories or use the search bar to find a specific package.

First Step

  1. To install the library manually using the ZIP file from the latest release, you need to select the file from "Install from file..."

First Step

  1. Once the package is installed, you will see the Espressif Library listed on the Installed tab.

First Step

  1. Now you are ready to use the library. Note that the library will be listed as PCM_Espressif in the Symbol and Footprint.
