Espressif programmer test success! 💻✨🔧

While developing boards, there are oftentimes we want to program ESP chips without going through the onboard USB port; this adapter will help us (and others) do that! It has a CP2102N USB-serial chip

...with RX/TX signal LEDs and two transistors wired up to the DTR/RTS line for the 'esptool standard' reset procedure technique. The output IO, plus a 3.3V 500mA regulated output, is available on a socket header, so you can plug wires in for quick programming and debugging. You can use this for everything from an ESP8266 up to the ESP32-P4! Here, we are testing it with a HUZZAH ESP8266 breakout board

...one of our first Espressif chipset products.

ESP32-P4 booting up and running CircuitPython 🚀🐍

Core CircuitPython dev Scott has been chugging away at adding ESP32-P4 support to CircuitPython - and today tossed us a bin file that runs on the Eval board we got last week from Espressif. Native USB is still in progress, but we can connect to the REPL and save files using the USB-Serial converter. It's so fast at 400mhz, and with 16 or 32 MHz of PSRAM, it's going to be an awesome board for embedded Python! More soon!

OOOh, some hot new chips just dropped into our mailbox - ESP32-P4! 🔥🚀

Espressif's latest chip has a snazzy eval board, and we just snagged a couple for CircuitPython development. The P4 is a RISC V dual core 400MHz processor with CSI/DSI support, USB HS, and Ethernet too. This chip doesn't have BLE or WiFi like all the other ESP chips. Instead, it uses a low-cost ESP32-C5 module as a wireless co-processor. The eval board is sorta shaped like a Raspberry Pi and has various A/V connections. We also got 100 sample chips of the 16MB in-package PSRAM variety, so we can start designing our first board. Shall we do a Feather? a Metro? maybe a Pi Zero-shaped thingy?
