Important Notes

⚠️ Important Disclaimer This documentation describes ESP32-P4-ETH bare board. 1. The board is equipped with PoE expansion header ONLY. External PoE module must be purchased separately to achieve PoE power supply. 2. Onboard microphone and speaker connector are provided. Audio codec and amplifier are NOT assembled on the board. 3. MIPI-DSI display, MIPI-CSI camera and speaker are peripherals, NOT included with bare board.

Overview

The ESP32-P4-ETH is a multimedia development board based on the ESP32-P4. It provides a rich set of human-machine interfaces, including MIPI-CSI (integrated image signal processor ISP), MIPI-DSI, SPI, I2S, I2C, LED PWM, MCPWM, RMT, ADC, UART, TWAI, etc. Additionally, it supports USB OTG 2.0 HS and Ethernet, and features an onboard 40PIN GPIO expansion header compatible with some Raspberry Pi Pico expansion boards for broader application adaptability. The ESP32-P4 is powered by a RISC-V dual-core processor, supports up to 32MB PSRAM, and integrates peripherals such as USB 2.0, MIPI-CSI/DSI, and an H.264 encoder, meeting the demands of low-cost, high-performance, and low-power multimedia development. In addition, the ESP32-P4 integrates a digital signature peripheral and a dedicated key management unit to ensure data and operation security. The ESP32-P4-ETH is specially designed for high-performance and high-security applications, meeting the needs of embedded systems in human-machine interaction, edge computing, and IO expansion.

Ports & Connectors
  • 2 × DC 5.5×2.1mm power input jacks (parallel design)
  • 1 × ATX 4-pin power in/out connector

（Input: powers the whole system when connected to an ATX power supply

Output: provides 12V for extra drives when powered via DC jacks）

  • 1 × 16-pin 0.5mm pitch PCIe FFC connector
  • 8 × 7-pin SATA 3.0 data connectors
  • 1 × 4-pin function header
4-pin Function Header Pinout
  • Pin1 = external momentary power switch
  • Pin2 = fan PWM (Connecting to Raspberry Pi 5 Fan)
  • Pin3 = ground
  • Pin4 = 12V power output
PCB Size 100mm × 86mm
PCIe cable length 37mm
