board may expose only subset of pins. Consult your board reference manual.
* Some boards may lack external pins/internal connectivity to support
ESP8266 deepsleep mode.
Technical specifications and SoC datasheets
-------------------------------------------
The datasheets and other reference material for ESP8266 chip are available
from the vendor site: http://bbs.espressif.com/viewtopic.php?f=67&t=225 .
The are primary reference for the chip technical specifications, capabilities,
operating modes, internal functioning, etc.
For your convinience, some of technical specifications are provided below:
* Architecture: Xtensa lx106
* CPU frequency: 80MHz overclockable to 160MHz
* Total RAM available: 96KB (part of it reserved for system)
* BootROM: 64KB
* Internal FlashROM: None
* External FlashROM: code and data, via SPI Flash. Normal sizes 512KB-4MB.
* GPIO: 16 + 1 (GPIOs are multiplexed with other functions, including
external FlashROM, UART, deep sleep wake-up, etc.)
* UART: One RX/TX UART (no hardware handshaking), one TX-only UART.
* SPI: 2 SPI interfaces (one used for FlashROM).
* I2C: No native extenal I2C (bitbang implementation available on any pins).
* I2S: 1.
* Programming: using BootROM bootloader from UART. Due to external FlashROM
and always-available BootROM bootloader, ESP8266 is not brickable.
