It is based on Espressif’s ESP32-P4 chip, featuring a dual-core RISC-V processor running at 400MHz. The core module model is WT0132P4-A1. This development board focuses on full-featured interfaces and multimedia processing capabilities. It is suitable for applications such as smart home control, industrial HMI, medical devices, security monitoring, and multimedia terminals. With low cost, low power consumption, and high integration, it is ideal for rapid prototyping of products like IPC and AIoT devices.

1.1 🔧 Core Hardware Specifications

• Main Controller: Powered by the Espressif ESP32-P4, featuring a high-performance RISC-V 400MHz processor and multiple multimedia subsystems, including a JPEG codec, Pixel Processing Accelerator, H.264 video encoder, and MIPI interface.

• Network Interface: Equipped with a MINI-PCIe interface that supports CAT1 modules, Sub-1G modules, or Wi-Fi extension boards for wireless communication. It can also be paired with a POE expansion board (IEEE 802.3af) to provide wired Ethernet networking (10/100Mbps adaptive) and POE power supply (48V input), ensuring reliable networking and power stability in industrial environments.

• Multimedia Interfaces: Natively supports both MIPI-CSI and MIPI-DSI interfaces.

  • MIPI-CSI connects to MIPI camera modules and supports 2-lane x 1.5 Gbps.
  • MIPI-DSI connects to MIPI display panels and supports 2-lane x 1.5 Gbps.

  Developers can freely choose peripherals compatible with the onboard MIPI connectors.
