ESP-Prog		ESP-Prog is one of Espressif’s development and debugging tools, with functions including automatic firmware downloading, serial communication, and JTAG online debugging. ESP-Prog's automatic firmware downloading and serial communication functions are supported on both the ESP8266 and ESP32 platforms, while the JTAG online debugging is supported only on the ESP32 platform. ESP-Prog uses FT2232HL as its USB Bridge Controller chip.
ESP32-MeshKit-Sense		ESP32-MeshKit-Sense is a development board with an ESP32 module at its core. It features peripherals, such as a temperature and humidity sensor, an ambient light sensor, etc. The board can be interfaced with screens. The board is mainly used to detect the current consumption of ESP32 modules in a normal operation state or in sleep mode, when connected to different peripherals.

EOL (End of Life) Boards
