ESP8266 Memory Map

This page describes the physical memory layout of the ESP8266 family.

Reset Vector

The reset vector is 40000080h, which maps to internal ROM.

Memmory-Mapped I/O Registers

Most of them live in 60000000h.

60000000h 80h uart0
60000100h 100h spi1

60000800h 44h iomux
60000F00h 80h uart1

dport0 (3FF00000h–)

  • 3FF00014h is a clock setting register. Setting bit 0 changes the CPU to 160 MHz mode. Clearing it means 80 MHz. Note that you need to call os_update_cpu_frequency(int freq_in_mhz) when changing the bit. Probably to calibrate timers. The UART divisor is not updated automatically, so you also have to call uart_div_modify(uart_no, clock_freq_in_hz / baud_rate_in_baud).

iomux Pin Registers (60000804h–60000843h)
