ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board development board launched for $55 with 7-inch display and camera module - CNX Software

Espressif Systems “ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board” – the official ESP32-P4 development board – is now available in limited quantities on Espressif’s AliExpress store for $55.44, and some other AliExpress stores at a premium as part of a kit with a 7-inch touchscreen display and a 2MP camera module.

First unveiled in January 2023, the ESP32-P4 is the first general-purpose RISC-V microcontroller from Espressif Systems without any wireless connectivity. It’s a high-end microcontroller with two RISC-V cores clocked at 400 MHz, vector instructions for AI acceleration, a 2D graphics accelerator for smooth graphical user interfaces, and H.264 video encoding support. There’s been some buzz about it in recent months, and finally, it’s now possible to purchase an ESP32-P4 board for evaluation and software development.

ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board development board specifications:

Some factory and LVGL code samples relying on the ESP-IDF framework can be found on GitHub, while documentation about the board is available directly on Espressif’s website.

The ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board ships with a 7-inch capacitive touch screen with a resolution of 1024 x 600, a 2MP camera with MIPI CSI, and necessary cables and accessories.

Note the development board currently relies on engineering samples (V0.1) of the ESP32-P4 microcontroller with some limitations:

The ESP32-P4 board is suitable for prototyping visual doorbells, network cameras, smart home central control screens, LCD electronic price tags, two-wheel vehicle dashboards, and more.
