+# Simplify Your Embedded Projects with ESP-BSP
+
+## Introduction
+
+Are you a maker or an embedded systems enthusiast looking to create applications that work seamlessly across different ESP32 development boards? Whether you’re using the ESP-Wrover-Kit, M5Stack-CoreS3, ESP32-S3-BOX-3, or other compatible boards, the ESP Board Support Package (ESP-BSP) makes your life easier. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to get started with ESP-BSP, enabling you to focus on your project’s functionality without worrying about hardware differences.
+
+## What is ESP-BSP?
+
+ESP-BSP is a collection of Board Support Packages specifically designed for Espressif’s development boards. It provides a standardized interface, allowing you to develop applications that are easy to port between different boards. By using ESP-BSP, you can:
+
+- **Streamline Hardware Integration**: Simplify code and reduce complexity.
+- **Enhance Portability**: Easily adapt your application to different boards.
+- **Access Standardized APIs**: Ensure consistency across your projects.
+
+## Getting Started with ESP-BSP
+
+### Hardware Setup
+
+Ensure you have the following hardware:
+
+- [ESP32-S3-BOX-3](https://github.com/espressif/esp-box) development board.
+- USB-C Cable for power and programming.
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+Before you begin, make sure you have the following:
+
+- [ESP-IDF](https://docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-idf/en/stable/esp32/get-started/index.html#installation): The official development framework for the ESP32, properly installed and sourced in your shell.
+
+### Creating Your First Project
+
+Let’s create a simple project using the `display_audio_photo` example, which is available for the ESP32-S3-BOX-3. This example showcases how to use the display, touch, and audio features.
+
+1. **Initialize a New Project**:
+
+   Use the `idf.py` tool to create a new project from the example:
+
+   ```bash
+   idf.py create-project-from-example "espressif/esp-box-3^1.2.0:display_audio_photo"
+   cd display_audio_photo
+   ```
+
+2. **Set the Target**:
+
+   Ensure the correct target is set for your project:
+
+   ```
+   idf.py set-target esp32s3
+   ```
+
+3. **Build and Flash the Project**:
+
+   Compile and flash your application to the ESP32-S3-BOX-3:
+
+   ```
+   idf.py build flash monitor
+   ```
+
+### Exploring the Example
+
+Once the application is running, you’ll see the following features in action:
+
+- **Display**: Shows images, text files, and more.
+- **Touch**: Interacts with the display.
+- **Audio**: Plays sound files.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+With ESP-BSP, you can quickly develop and port your applications across various ESP32 boards, saving time and effort. Whether you’re building a new project or upgrading an existing one, ESP-BSP simplifies your development process.
