DFRobot FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 AI Development Kit
๐ Experience cutting-edge 1080p edge AI and interactive HMI development with the FireBeetle 2 ESP32-P4 Kit. This compact solution is built around the powerful ESP32-P4: a dual-core RISC-V processor with a Single-Precision FPU and a multimedia engine supporting hardware H.264 encoding (1080p@30fps). ๐ฅ
Equipped with both MIPI and parallel interfaces, the kit offers versatile camera and display options. An integrated co-processor adds modern Wi-Fi 6 ๐ก and Bluetooth 5 ๐. Paired with the IO Expansion Board, developers can quickly prototype advanced AI cameras, smart panels, and vision-based systems.

โจ Features
AI & Video Performance ๐ฌ
The ESP32-P4 is optimized for demanding HMI and video workloads. Its 360MHz dual-core RISC-V CPU includes a single-precision FPU and AI instruction support, delivering strong computational power for complex tasks.
It integrates a multimedia engine capable of 1080p video via MIPI-CSI/DSI and parallel interfaces. Hardware acceleration enables real-time H.264 encoding at 1080p@30fps. Built-in ISP, PPA, and 2D-DMA ensure responsive GUI rendering. With support for capacitive touch โ and voice recognition ๐ค, this kit is ideal for interactive smart devices.
Advanced Connectivity ๐
The ESP32-C6 co-processor manages wireless communication, allowing the ESP32-P4 CPU to focus on AI and video. This separation ensures reliable performance.
For AI Cameras & Doorbells: Wi-Fi 6 ๐ถ provides high-speed, low-latency streaming.
For Smart Panels & Robotics: Bluetooth 5 (LE) ๐ง simplifies setup and enables control of nearby devices.
โก Fast Prototyping with IO Expansion Board
The IO Expansion Board solves common hardware challenges like tangled wiring and unstable connections. It offers a clear, stable platform so developers can focus on software.
For Robot Vision ๐ค: I2C sensors and motor drivers connect directly without pinout confusion.
For Home Automation ๐ : UART headers make it easy to add LiDAR or other serial peripherals. Multiple power pins ๐ ensure consistent supply for displays and sensors.
Compatibility โ ๏ธ: This kit uses the ESP32-P4 chip (v1.0). It works with Arduino IDE and ESP-IDF. Note: advanced MIPI-CSI and AI features currently require ESP-IDF, while other functions are supported in Arduino IDE.
