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.

[Alvin1Zhang]

Update on April 15th, 2024: ... MIPI CSI (New) ... 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.
