Supported ESP32-S3 boards

Velxio emulates three ESP32-S3 boards. Each runs the official ESP32 Arduino core compiled via arduino-cli.

ESP32-S3 DevKitC-1

Official Espressif development board. Dual-core Xtensa LX7 at 240 MHz, 45 GPIO, USB OTG, 512 KB SRAM.

XIAO ESP32-S3

Seeed Studio ultra-compact board (21×17.5 mm). 11 GPIO, USB-C, ideal for wearables and IoT.

Arduino Nano ESP32

ESP32-S3 in Arduino Nano form factor. USB-C, 14 digital + 8 analog pins, Arduino ecosystem compatibility.

ESP32-S3 vs ESP32 — What's new?

Xtensa LX7 CPU

Newer architecture with improved performance per clock. Same 240 MHz dual-core, but more efficient instruction pipeline.

USB OTG

Native USB device and host support — no external USB-to-UART chip needed. HID, CDC, MSC device classes.

Vector Instructions

Hardware-accelerated vector operations for AI/ML inference at the edge. TensorFlow Lite Micro optimized.

More GPIO

45 programmable GPIOs (vs 34 on ESP32). More ADC channels, touch pins, and peripheral options.
