This chip is incredible and so is this development kit! So many benefits to this little thing for the price. Yes, it probably eats a lot of power and the stone itself is big compared to other models, but it gives you lots of ideas for projects.
I think it will be mainly targeted for HMI setups. Maybe also portable setups like barcode scanner applications for delivery jobs or local UI control for applications like Home Wizard. As soon as I get my hands on one of those dev boards, I will try to add support for it in ESPEasy, but that does require quite a big overhaul as I need to get rid of WiFi code and currently it will not build without WiFi code.
The chip itself is only some few dollars. Power consumption is unknown to me, but given the other chips running without wifi is rather low power it can't be THAT bad. The screen itself is likely to dominate it all! Camera with some smarts in (camera to ethernet/usb) including video overlays and video encoder, touchscreens with slow link toward the rest of the system, many options.
It can be done, would you just like to have a usb-c like interface like the classic devkits or would you like more? Would you keep the ESP32-P4 + ESP32-C6 combination?
@@SalvatoreRaccardi Don't really care as long as its small, mostly interested in the camera & display interface. And how hard it is to implement different displays for this. I would have a project that im now building using raspberry pi that uses a 2.9" 1440x1440 display and the camera interface. But i dont really like linux, MCU would be so much faster to boot up. There already seems to be one quite compact P4 module, WT01P4C6-S1.
How on earth do you make the screen start ? Is there something to know ? To wire it ? To power it ? Is mine defective? Do you have clue ? Thanks for your vids !
The header pins RST_LCD, PWM, 5V, GND have been connected? Have you made sure the devkit is turned on correctly? I recommend you follow the documentation: docs.espressif.com/projects/esp-dev-kits/en/latest/esp32p4/esp32-p4-function-ev-board/user_guide.html
@@riendeplus1923 I just now followed his instructions when I unboxed my kit, and it started up immediately. I think you either have mis-wired yours, or maybe even your unit is defective. Re-check your wiring and try again?

looks good...waiting for arduino support.....including CAN drivers
Yes, it could be useful for many IIoT apllications.
Is it programmed using ESP-IDF or Arduino? Or is it running linux? Has it a fast startup time? Thanks for the video.😀
Yes ESP-IDF, I honestly have not measured the startup time accurately, I can tell you that the microcontroller is very responsive.
Hmm i do wonder if there is already a guide for the dsi interface and how to use it.? I seem to struggle a bit with a different display
There are several examples that espressif provides if I'm not mistaken.
I wonder will we have small dev boards for the P4 like for the S3.

@@SalvatoreRaccardi thank you for this Quick answer, i think i did all of that but i will investigate again

Ok, so, i think a DuPont cable was guilty in this story ... :)
