Delivers robust security through secure boot, flash encryption, on-chip key generation, and hardware access protection.
(02) High Performance
The ESP32-P4 integrates a dual-core RISC-V CPU (400MHz), a 40MHz low-power core, and 768KB static random-access memory (SRAM) for efficient operation.
(03) Highly Integrated Peripherals
ESP32-P4 features 55 general-purpose input/output (GPIO) pins supporting SPI, I2S, I2C, pulse width modulation (PWM), analog-to-digital converter (ADC), universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter (UART), universal serial bus (USB), Ethernet, and SDIO 3.0.
(04) Rich Human-Machine Interface
Supports 1080p MIPI cameras/displays, touch, voice, H.264, and 2D-DMA for advanced human-machine interfaces.
(05) Software Availability
Seamlessly integrates with ESP32-C series chips via SPI, SDIO, or UART, and supports ESP-IDF for seamless IoT applications.
(06) Utilizing Brookesia for Multimedia Applications
ESP-Brookesia is a dedicated human-machine interaction development framework for IoT devices. It aims to accelerate customer development and time-to-market for HMI applications by simplifying UI design and application development through efficient tools and platforms.
(07) Wireless Connectivity
To complement its powerful AI core, ESpico integrates an ESP32-C6 coprocessor, delivering next-generation Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 (LE) wireless performance. This combination enables faster data throughput, lower latency, and rock-solid stability—even in congested network environments.
Whether transmitting high-resolution camera footage, connecting multiple sensors, or synchronizing smart devices, ESpico ensures seamless, responsive communication for all your AIoT applications. From smart home hubs to wireless vision systems, its dual-connection design enables your projects to be fast, efficient, and future-ready.
ESpico in Action: Real-World Performance, Real-Time Results
(01) Provides complete library packages, STL files, and sample code.
(02) Supports multi-touch
(03) Embedded devices suffer from weak computing power, limited memory, and lack of high-end GPUs, making it challenging to implement complex interfaces using traditional graphics development methods. LVGL addresses this by leveraging a lightweight architecture (requiring as little as 16KB RAM + 64KB Flash); a hardware-agnostic abstraction layer (supporting diverse screens/touchscreens and compatible with MCUs/MPUs/RTOS); and optimized rendering algorithms (such as incremental rendering, anti-aliasing, and low-power refresh rates), it “unlocks” the graphical potential of low-end hardware. Even mainstream MCUs like STM32 and ESP32 can smoothly run modern UIs featuring animations, charts, and gradients.
