Unleash true 1080p edge AI and interactive HMI applications with the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 Development Kit. This all-in-one solution is engineered around the powerful ESP32-P4: a dual-core RISC-V processor featuring a Single-Precision FPU and a professional-grade media engine with hardware-accelerated H.264 encoding (1080p@30fps). The kit provides both MIPI and parallel interfaces for maximum camera and display flexibility, while an onboard co-processor delivers next-generation Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5. To bring it all together, the included IO Expansion Board streamlines development, providing an effortless platform to create sophisticated projects like high-performance AI cameras, responsive smart displays, and other advanced vision systems.
High-Performance AI and Video Processing
The ESP32-P4 is engineered for advanced HMI and video applications. Its 360MHz dual-core RISC-V CPU features a single-precision FPU and AI instruction extensions, providing powerful computational performance for complex algorithms.
It boasts a professional-grade multimedia engine, capable of handling 1080p video streams via its MIPI-CSI/DSI and parallel camera/display interfaces. The onboard hardware accelerator delivers real-time H.264 encoding at 1080p@30fps, while the integrated ISP, PPA, and 2D-DMA ensure smooth, responsive GUI development. Combined with native support for capacitive touch and speech recognition, this kit is the perfect choice for any intelligent interactive device.
Next-Generation Wireless Connectivity
A dedicated ESP32-C6 co-processor handles all wireless tasks, freeing the main ESP32-P4 CPU to dedicate its full power to AI models and video processing. This separation ensures maximum performance and stability for the core application.
- For AI Cameras and Smart Doorbells: Wi-Fi 6 provides the high throughput and low latency needed to smoothly stream processed 1080p video to the cloud or a smartphone, eliminating stutter and lag even in crowded wireless environments.
- For Interactive Panels and Robotics: Bluetooth 5 (LE) simplifies the device commissioning process, enabling effortless initial setup via a smartphone app. This also allows the device to act as a hub, reliably controlling nearby Bluetooth sensors, smart locks, or lights.
Rapid Prototyping with IO Expansion Board
The IO Expansion Board is designed to eliminate common hardware bottlenecks like messy wiring and unstable connections. It provides a clean, reliable, and clearly labeled hardware foundation, freeing developers to focus on application code.
- For Robot Vision Systems: I2C gyroscopes and motor drivers can be plugged directly into the dedicated headers without cross-referencing pinout diagrams. Hardware can be assembled in minutes, allowing development to shift immediately to control algorithms.
- For Home Automation Panels: The clearly marked UART headers facilitate the rapid connection of LiDAR sensors or other serial peripherals. Ample power pins ensure stable, simultaneous power for multiple sensors and a display, eliminating frustrating issues caused by an unstable power supply.
