Smooth Arduino Experience
Flashed it using Arduino IDE without any hassle. The pinout is clearly labeled, and the build quality feels premium. Running a small LLM locally on this chip is surprisingly fast.

Perfect for AI Edge Projects
The stacked design with the C6 module is brilliant. It saves so much space on my prototype board. The Xiaozhi AI integration worked out of the box with the provided examples. Highly recommended for anyone getting into edge AI.

Best value for ESP32-P4
I've tried other P4 boards, but this Waveshare version offers the best peripheral support. The inclusion of the C6 module for low-power connectivity is a game changer for my smart home sensors.

Great hardware, docs need expansion
The board itself is fantastic with plenty of RAM and a fast processor. The display interface works smoothly. However, I wish there were more detailed tutorials specifically for the stacked C6 communication protocols. Still a solid buy.

Solid for vision applications
Using this for a small robot vision project. The DVP camera interface and high-speed PSRAM handle image buffering well. Only minor issue was the initial driver setup for the specific camera sensor I used.
Q: Does this board support connecting a touchscreen display?
A: Yes, the ESP32-P4 features a MIPI DSI interface which supports various touchscreen displays. You will need to ensure your specific display panel is compatible with the driver libraries available in ESP-IDF or Arduino.
Q: What version of the Arduino IDE is required?
A: We recommend using Arduino IDE 2.0 or later with the latest Espressif board manager packages installed to ensure full compatibility with the ESP32-P4 architecture and the Xiaozhi AI libraries.
Q: Does it support external PSRAM expansion beyond the onboard 32MB?
A: The board comes with 32MB of onboard Octal SPI PSRAM which is sufficient for most applications. The hardware design does not expose additional interfaces for expanding PSRAM externally.
Q: Can I power this board via the GPIO pins instead of USB-C?
A: Yes, you can supply 5V power through the designated 5V and GND header pins. However, please ensure your external power source is stable and can provide sufficient current (at least 1A) for Wi-Fi transmission peaks.
Q: Is the ESP32-C6 module removable or soldered permanently?
A: The ESP32-C6 module is soldered onto the board in a stacked configuration and is not designed to be removed by end-users. This ensures better signal integrity and a compact form factor.
