ESP32 P4 O Monstro de US$ 4.50

If you’re still not using the ESP32-P4, you may be at risk of falling behind in the world of microcontrollers. In this video, I showcase an extremely powerful microcontroller with 104 pins and 55 GPIOs available to the user. By design, it does not include built-in Wi-Fi. Espressif created the ESP32-P4 as a microcontroller focused on high-performance processing. It features two 360 MHz RISC-V cores, with the potential to reach 400 MHz. The chip diagram reveals a huge number of processing resources, including low-power capabilities, as well as many protocols and peripherals. Just to briefly present all of these features, I would need many hours of video. To keep things practical, I explain how the ESP32-P4 was connected to the ESP32-C6 through SDIO 3. The ESP32-C6 is the one that transparently provides Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth, Zigbee, and Thread. Most of the boards developed by manufacturers followed the smart approach proposed by Espressif itself: dedicated firmware makes the ESP32-P4 behave, for the programmer, almost as if you were using an ESP32-S3, in a transparent and hassle-free way. Another very important point is the presence of MIPI-DSI and MIPI-CSI interfaces, as well as an H.264 encoder, JPEG codec, camera interface, and LCD interface. This chip represents a major leap forward for Espressif because it takes displays and cameras to a level of smoothness that the ESP32-S3 simply could not achieve. In the video, I show source code in which I connect the ESP32-P4, together with the ESP32-C6, to my PC as a TCP server. And just like programming the ESP32-S3, it works with virtually the same source code. The ESP32-C6 firmware is written in ESP-IDF and works both in the IDF SDK and with Arduino Core. Congratulations to Espressif for that. But not everything is perfect. The camera still does not work in Arduino Core, and honestly, I do not understand why this support has not been added yet. I know it is not a simple task, but this already exists in IDF, and large displays already work in Arduino Core. If this support does not arrive, I am seriously considering doing the port myself and publishing it on GitHub. I do not want to take on that work, but I do not believe that most of my audience will migrate to IDF. I ran a survey with thousands of engineers, and the vast majority really do use Arduino IDE. For a long time, I have been testing SPI displays, graphics libraries, and also MIPI-DSI displays. And it frustrates me to see visually attractive libraries consuming 99% of the processing power. I cannot accept that. That is why I developed my own library, which I will show in another video, because this one would already be too long if I went into that topic. Honestly, I think that if you need a graphics library at the level of Android or Linux on a Raspberry Pi 5, then it may be time to move to a Single Board Computer. The ESP32-S3 and the ESP32-P4 are chips meant to run embedded, self-contained code, and there are real limits to what that can do. I also believe that the application engineer should focus on the customer’s and the end user’s problem, rather than going crazy with complex libraries and code just to draw something on an LCD or reinvent the wheel. In the AI era, I think this will change a lot. In the video, I also present several displays and highlight Waveshare and Guition, which took advantage of Espressif’s design and launched good products.
