Tablet-like, ESP32-P4-based 7, 8, and 10.1-inch HMI displays integrate Wi-Fi 6 connectivity, 5MP camera

Waveshare has recently released the ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD, a family of tablet-like, fully enclosed HMI display development boards built around the ESP32-P4 SoC. The company offers 7-inch, 8-inch, or 10.1-inch configurations, all designed for industrial HMI, smart home terminals, and edge AI applications. Since the ESP32-P4 does not include built-in wireless connectivity, Waveshare has integrated an ESP32-C6-MINI module for WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 (LE) support. The board also leverages the ESP32-P4’s peripherals for MIPI CSI/DSI interfaces, a 5MP camera, and various I/Os, including USB 2.0 OTG and USB-to-UART Type-C ports, an SDIO 3.0 microSD card slot, dual microphones with echo cancellation,...

3G в каждый подвал. Как устроена и как работает фемтосота

Приветствую всех!

Уже не раз я рассказывал про устройство сотовых сетей разных стандартов и годов. Но общим там было одно: базовая станция в любой сотовой сети - достаточно мощное, габаритное и дорогостоящее устройство. Но начиная со стандарта 3G появились их миниатюрные аналоги - фемтосоты.

Как же они устроены, что позволяют реализовать полноценную базовую станцию в корпусе устройства, занимающего места не больше, чем обычный Wi-Fi роутер? Сейчас и разберёмся. Заодно узнаем, как они вообще работают, а также немного поговорим о том, почему вам очень вряд ли удастся самим запустить такую штуку дома.

NanoPC-T6 Plus Rockchip RK3588 SBC switches from LPDDR4x to LPDDR5 (up to 32GB)

It’s been a while since FriendlyELEC has released a board, and the NanoPC-T6 Plus SBC is more of a variant of the NanoPC-T6 and NanoPC-T6 LTS rather than a really new board. It’s still based on a Rockchip RK3588 octa-core SoC, and equipped with two HDMI 2.1 ports, an HDMI input port, MIPI DSI/CSI interfaces, two 2.5GbE ports, and M.2 sockets for NVMe SSD and wireless, among other features. The main change appears to be that the new model is now offered with up to 32GB LPDDR5 rather than up to 16GB LPDDR4x in the previous models. It’s closer to...

XIAO ESP32-C5 – A tiny USB-C IoT board with dual-band WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.0 LE, Zigbee, and Thread connectivity

Seeed Studio has just added a new member to its XIAO USB-C board family with the XIAO ESP32-C5 offering dual-band WiFi 6 (2.4 and 5.0 GHz), as well as Bluetooth 5.0 LE, Zigbee, and Thread connectivity for IoT projects and products. It still features a u.FL antenna connector, Reset and Boot buttons, two 7-pin GPIO headers, and 8 pads for JTAG or GPIOs on the back. Compared to the earlier XIAO ESP32C6, the new model is clocked higher (240 MHz vs 160 MHz), supports dual-band Wi-Fi, and offers more memory (384KB SRAM + 8 MB PSRAM vs 512KB SRAM) and...

The End of the “AI Toy” Era: YouWare Launches YouBase to Deliver Production-Ready Business Tools (Sponsored)

In the rapidly evolving landscape of digital transformation, a technical plateau has emerged. While many “AI-coding” tools offer the promise of rapid development, a predictable pattern has surfaced: they generate visually impressive landing pages in seconds, but falter when tasked with building a functional business. Projects requiring user authentication, data persistence, or secure transaction handling often hit a technical ceiling, resulting in digital “toys” rather than scalable business tools. The release of YouBase by YouWare marks a significant shift in this narrative. Since its debut in March 2025, YouWare has pioneered the concept of “vibe coding,” capturing 500,000 monthly active...
