DFRobot FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 AI Development Kit

🚀 Unlock real 1080p edge AI and interactive HMI projects with the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 Development Kit. This all-in-one solution is powered by the robust 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 integrates both MIPI and parallel interfaces for maximum camera/display flexibility, while an onboard co-processor delivers next-gen Wi-Fi 6 📡 and Bluetooth 5 🔗. Together with the included IO Expansion Board, developers can easily build advanced AI cameras, responsive smart panels, and vision-driven systems.

✨ Features

High-Performance AI & Video Processing 🎬

The ESP32-P4 is tailored for advanced HMI and video tasks. Its 360MHz dual-core RISC-V CPU includes a single-precision FPU plus AI instruction extensions, enabling powerful computation for complex algorithms.

It features a multimedia engine capable of handling 1080p video streams via MIPI-CSI/DSI and parallel interfaces. The onboard accelerator supports real-time H.264 encoding at 1080p@30fps. Integrated ISP, PPA, and 2D-DMA ensure smooth GUI development. With native support for capacitive touch ✋ and speech recognition 🎤, this kit is ideal for intelligent interactive devices.

Next-Generation Wireless Connectivity 🌐

A dedicated ESP32-C6 co-processor manages wireless tasks, freeing the ESP32-P4 CPU for AI and video processing. This separation ensures stable and high-performance operation.

For AI Cameras & Smart Doorbells: Wi-Fi 6 📶 delivers high throughput and low latency, enabling smooth streaming even in crowded networks.
For Interactive Panels & Robotics: Bluetooth 5 (LE) 🔧 simplifies setup via smartphone apps and allows reliable control of nearby smart devices.

⚡ Rapid Prototyping with IO Expansion Board

The IO Expansion Board eliminates common hardware issues like messy wiring and unstable connections. It provides a clean, reliable, and clearly labeled foundation, letting developers focus on coding.

For Robot Vision Systems 🤖: I2C gyroscopes and motor drivers can be connected directly without pinout confusion.
For Home Automation Panels 🏠: UART headers simplify connecting LiDAR sensors or other serial peripherals. Multiple power pins 🔋 ensure stable supply for sensors and displays.

Compatibility Notice ⚠️: This board uses the ESP32-P4 chip (v1.0). It supports both Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF. Note: advanced MIPI-CSI and AI functions currently require ESP-IDF, while other features are fully supported in Arduino IDE.
