Like the earlier Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6 development board, this platform also uses a dual-processor architecture pairing the ESP32-P4 as the main MCU with an ESP32-C6 module that handles Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5 LE connectivity. The ESP32-C6 communicates with the ESP32-P4 over an SDIO interface and integrates an external antenna connector for wireless operation.
The BM1688 datasheet does not appear to be available on the SOPHGO website yet, but Banana Pi notes that the processor integrates an eight-core Arm Cortex-A53 CPU running at 1.6GHz and provides 16 TOPS of INT8 performance.
Both devices are built around the RVC4 compute platform, incorporating an 8-core ARM CPU from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8-series, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of onboard storage. The architecture supports 48 TOPS of INT8 performance and 12 TOPS in FP16 workloads.
