I have seen similar references to the Espressif site like these as a reply on questions to get samples, but you can't apply for non-released samples on that site and also not on the linked sample distributors.
The P4/C5/C61 are not present as an option, nor some generic "pre-production" label.

What will be the consumption of the ESP32-P4 processor in BLE mode? Will the same large 40mA remain or will it be within 5mA, like Nordic?
What consumption ESP32-P4 is planned in deep-sleep mode?

[igrr]

@edbek ESP32-P4 doesn't include any wireless peripherals (Wi-Fi or BLE). Regarding the deep sleep current, please wait a bit for the details, they will be available when the datasheet is published.

Does the ISP of the P4 have support for stitching HDR ?
Will there be support for HDR ?

No I think the ISP doesn't support HDR.

Does it mean we can already create applications using USB high speed host but full speed host support is still pending?

[tore-espressif]

Does it mean we can already create applications using USB high speed host but full speed host support is still pending?

The ESP32-P4 has two USB-OTG peripherals, with 2 dedicated PHYs. One peripheral (USB_HS) support High-Speed and Full-Speed host, while the other one (USB_FS) only supports Full-Speed host.

Only USB_HS peripheral is supported now. (We have a know issue with Low-Speed devices not working ATM).

Just for completeness Low-Speed only USB host is not allowed by the USB specification

[AndyDevLat]

Noted, thank you. And USB_FS peripheral not supported just in host mode? I mean can it be used for device mode via tinyusb?

[tore-espressif]

Noted, thank you. And USB_FS peripheral not supported just in host mode? I mean can it be used for device mode via tinyusb?

USB_FS not supported at all at the moment :/

[AndyDevLat]

Ok, I will wait for updates;)

[Alvin1Zhang]

Update on August 15th, 2024: support of MIPI CSI, ISP DVP, LCD_CAM DVP, Low-power I2S and Wi-Fi Host have been added.

[TiKoESoPe]

Helklo, is there any news when the RGB LCD driver will be ready for the controller?

[sukesh-ak]

Helklo, is there any news when the RGB LCD driver will be ready for the controller?

Have you checked the P4 BSP yet?
https://components.espressif.com/components/espressif/esp32_p4_function_ev_board/versions/3.0.1

[TiKoESoPe]

Yes, I checked there, but there is only the MIPI interface in use for the board and no RGB LCD interface. In the ESP-IDF I did not see the SOC_LCD_RGB_SUPPORTED for the ESP32-P4 set and was confused whether it is not yet implemented or will not be supported at all. Since it is listed here, I guess it is just not implemented yet.

[tom-borcin]

Hello @TiKoESoPe, support for RGB LCD Driver is in progress right now. Once the support is done, we will update the status

[torntrousers]

Update on Feb. 2nd, 2024: support of MIPI DSI, 2DDMA, Key Manager, HUK Generator, ESP-ROM, I2S legacy driver have been added.

Hello @Alvin1Zhang / @igrr - interested in the Key Management Unit on the P4 and from that comment back in Feb about "Key Manager" support i hoped there was some support, but asking over here it seems not yet - https://esp32.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=41800

Could you give any update on the Key Management Unit ?

Thanks!

[TiKoESoPe]

Hello @tom-borcin, thanks for the info. I will wait. 👍

Hi @torntrousers,
There were some performance issues of the Key Management Unit on the currently available revisions of ESP32-P4 SoC, hence it has been marked as not supported for now.
Once a new revision that fixes the issue is available then the support shall be enabled in the ESP-IDF.

Thanks for the reply @AdityaHPatwardhan . Do you mean a new hardware revision? I bought a couple of the P4 EV kits especially to try the Key Management Unit so i guess they are no good for this now? Could maybe put a note on the shop page - all it says presently is that its all good except that the ADC is uncalibrated :( Could you post back here when the new rev boards are available?

[TD-er]

Yep, which silicon revision should have it?
And which revisions can be found out there ?

[AdityaHPatwardhan]

@torntrousers @TD-er, The work to fix is already on-going, I can only confirm when a new revision is available and has been tested. Ideally it should be the very next revision of ESP32-P4 (which is ECO2). Just to prevent users from accidentally configuring the feature we have disabled the support from ESP-IDF and also marked it as non-supported in the above status link.

@AdityaHPatwardhan FWIK the ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board is Rev0.0. The ECO1 which has reactivated pin which is nc in the Rev0.0 ( got from a live stream talk between the lines ) and is the upcomming revision. I understand that the KM is done in this.
Now you talk from ECO2 ? :) Is this a typo or reality that we can not use KM in the upcomming ECO1 ?
