ESP32-P4-WIFI6-POE-ETH - ESP32-P4 Development Board with Wi-Fi 6 and PoE Ethernet - Waveshare 32832

Description

The ESP32-P4-WIFI6-POE-ETH is designed as a versatile platform for developing modern embedded systems that require high computing performance, advanced communication interfaces, and reliable network connectivity.

At the core of the board is the ESP32-P4, featuring a 32-bit dual-core RISC-V processor clocked up to 360 MHz, supported by 32 MB PSRAM and 32 MB Flash memory. The chip includes multimedia accelerators such as an Image Signal Processor (ISP), JPEG codec, and H.264 encoder, enabling efficient visual and audio applications.

Wireless communication is handled by an additional ESP32-C6-MINI module, which provides Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and Bluetooth 5 LE, communicating with the ESP32-P4 via the SDIO interface.

The board also features a 100 Mbps RJ45 Ethernet port with PoE support, enabling simultaneous power supply and data transmission using a single Ethernet cable.

A rich set of interfaces includes MIPI-DSI, MIPI-CSI, USB 2.0 OTG, I2S, SPI, I2C, UART, ADC, PWM, TWAI, and numerous GPIO pins.

Onboard components include a microphone, audio codec, amplifier, and speaker connector, enabling audio processing and voice interaction projects, including AI-based applications.
