2 Pin Definition
To change the strapping bit values, you can apply the external pull-down/pull-up resistances, or use the host
MCU’s GPIOs to control the voltage level of these pins when powering on ESP32-C3.
After reset, the strapping pins work as normal-function pins.
Table 4 lists detailed booting configurations of the strapping pins.

GPIO8 N/A
When the value of eFuse field EFUSE_UART_PRINT_CONTROL is
0 (default), print is enabled and not controlled by GPIO8.
1, if GPIO8 is 0, print is enabled; if GPIO8 is 1, it is disabled.
2, if GPIO8 is 0, print is disabled; if GPIO8 is 1, it is enabled.
3, print is disabled and not controlled by GPIO8.

The strapping combination of GPIO8 = 0 and GPIO9 = 0 is invalid and will trigger unexpected be-
havior.
Figure 7 shows the setup and hold times for the strapping pins before and after the CHIP_EN signal goes high.
Details about the parameters are listed in Table 5.
