Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-POE-ETH

The Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-POE-ETH is a feature-rich ESP32-P4 development board combining WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, 100Mbps Ethernet with integrated PoE support, and a USB Type-A OTG HS port. The ESP32-C6-MINI-1U variant uses an IPEX 3rd-gen antenna connector for an external 2.4GHz antenna, providing better wireless range than PCB antennas.

Key Highlights

  • High Performance: ESP32-P4 dual-core RISC-V at 400MHz with AI extensions and FPU
  • Triple Connectivity: WiFi 6 (ESP32-C6) + Bluetooth 5 LE + 100Mbps PoE Ethernet
  • PoE Integrated: Onboard PoE module interface -- single Ethernet cable provides both power and data
  • External Antenna: IPEX 3rd-gen connector for external 2.4GHz antenna (included in kit)
  • USB Type-A: Full-size USB Type-A OTG 2.0 HS port for peripherals
  • Memory: 32MB PSRAM + 16MB NOR flash + 768KB on-chip SRAM
  • Display and Camera: 2-lane MIPI-DSI (up to 10.1-inch screens) and 2-lane MIPI-CSI with ISP
  • Video Processing: H.264 encoder (1080p at 30fps), JPEG codec, PPA accelerator
  • Audio System: ES8311 codec + NS4150B amplifier + MEMS microphone + speaker connector
  • Storage: SDIO 3.0 microSD slot
  • Expansion: 2x20 pin header with 28 programmable GPIOs
