Native KiCad files of Dev boards? (lemmy.world)

I am not much of an EE and I was wondering if there is a place where I can find schematics of popular esp32 dev boards? My hope is that I can do placement and wire routing on a known good schematic. I know that PDF version of the schematic is available and technically it is possible to recreate it in KiCad but I'm hoping to find something in native KiCad format so that I have a good starting point for making custom board shapes.

Thanks. These tips help a lot.

I wouldn't say that the goal is to learn. I have implemented the design on a Dev board. I also designed a breakout board which worked well. I am now considering just trying to do a new layout in a smaller form factor.

There are bigger system integration tasks that I need to address before I can spend my resources on learning ESP32's board layout. That is why I wanted to derisk my design by building on top of a known good design or at least find out the best practices of board layout.

Here's the official schematic for the module. It's from the esp32 hardware reference in the official docs, under devkitc v4

Probably your best bet!
