Solid Board, Minor Documentation Gaps
Hardware quality is excellent and the PoE feature works flawlessly. Would give 5 stars if the pinout diagram in the wiki was more detailed.
Q: Can I connect a standard USB webcam to the USB-A port?
A: Yes, the USB-A port acts as a host. However, driver support depends on the specific webcam chipset. UVC compatible cameras generally work out of the box with ESP32-P4.
Q: Does this board support standard 802.3af PoE or does it require a specific injector?
A: This board supports standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE. You can use any compliant PoE switch or injector to power the device directly through the RJ45 port.
Q: Is the 16MB PSRAM sufficient for running TinyML models?
A: For most TinyML applications and lightweight computer vision tasks, 16MB is sufficient. For heavy neural networks, you may need to optimize model quantization.
Q: Are there example codes available for the MIPI DSI display interface?
A: Yes, Waveshare provides a GitHub repository with demo code for popular MIPI DSI screens compatible with the ESP32-P4, including LVGL integration examples.
Q: What voltage range does the PoE input accept?
A: The board is designed to accept the standard PoE voltage range of 37V to 57V DC, which is internally regulated to 5V for the system.
