### AI overview

ESP32-C2 is a Wi-Fi and Bluetooth Low Energy chip designed for simple, high-volume, low-data-rate IoT applications. The article describes its compact package, ESP-IDF support, security features, and RF performance.

### Source excerpt

As many would have heard, Shanghai is now undergoing a major lockdown and quarantine due to COVID-19. In the midst of this lockdown, we received our production wafers of ESP32-C2, and proceeded with the verifications. Due to the quarantine, we have faced some logistics problems, but slowly, we have improvised, worked out solutions and continue to move ahead with the ramp up of this product.

### AI overview

Espressif CEO Teo Swee Ann describes how the coronavirus outbreak affected the company and explains the initial safety considerations and decision to delay the company's start date.

### Source excerpt

As Espressif is a company with their main offices in China, the recent coronavirus outbreak has affected us as well. Even though there is an obvious impact on the way we work, the blow is cushioned because we have offices outside of China. Additionally, the way our IT is structured allows most of our staff to work from home, and even for the jobs that do need people to be at the office, there are ways to work around the current issues.

### AI overview

Espressif's February 2020 CEO letter reviews the company's 2019 IPO, ESP32-S chip launches, security work including hardware vulnerability fixes in ESP32v3, its IoT developer ecosystem, planned 2020 chips, and operational measures related to the coronavirus epidemic in China.

### Source excerpt

Dear all, 2019 has been an eventful year for Espressif; we went IPO and we launched the new ESP32-S series of chips that enable making secure, connected devices with high performance at affordable cost. We also worked on improving the security of our existing systems. ESP32v3 (aka ESP32 ECO3, the updated version of ESP32) patched the hardware vulnerabilities that were uncovered by the works of our security consultants and later independently by "LimitedResults" (aka "LR").
