FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 High-Performance Edge AI Microcontroller

The FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 is a next-generation, high-performance microcontroller development board built around the powerful ESP32-P4R32 chip. Designed for modern AIoT applications, it features dual-core 400 MHz RISC-V processing, advanced AI acceleration, and industry-leading image and video processing capabilities—all in a compact 25.4 × 60 mm form factor.

With built-in single-precision FPU, AI instruction extensions, and support for lightweight machine-learning frameworks such as TensorFlow Lite, the ESP32-P4 enables real-time edge AI tasks including voice wake word detection, image classification, face recognition, and intelligent vision applications.

A standout feature of this board is its onboard image pipeline, including a JPEG codec, ISP, PPA, and H.264 encoder. Combined with MIPI-CSI and MIPI-DSI interfaces, the FireBeetle 2 supports 1080p@30fps or 720p@88fps image acquisition and display—perfect for AI cameras, robot vision systems, smart home control panels, and multimedia displays.

To expand connectivity, the board integrates an ESP32-C6 module, providing WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 wireless communication. Additional features like USB OTG, onboard microphone, and TF card slot make the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 a complete and ready-to-use solution for sophisticated AIoT devices.
