Wireless-Tag WT32P4C5-43S (ZX4D30CE405-V1.3) is a fully integrated 4.3-inch touch display development board that combines an ESP32-P4 MCU with an ESP32-C5 wireless module supporting dual-band WiFi 6 (2.4/5 GHz), Bluetooth LE, and 802.15.4 connectivity. Unlike previous ESP32-P4 + ESP32-C5 solutions, this one comes with a built-in touchscreen, so you don’t need to connect a separate display. Designed for industrial automation, smart control panels, and edge AI vision terminals, the board also integrates a 15-pin MIPI CSI camera interface, a microSD card slot, two USB Type-C ports (USB 2.0 High-Speed and Debug/JTAG), and a 14-pin GPIO expansion header.

M5Stack has just introduced the ToughC5, a rugged, weatherproof outdoor IoT controller built around the ESP32-C5. The device features a bright 2.0-inch capacitive touch IPS display and RS485 connectivity. The ToughC5 is an upgrade to the ESP32-base3d M5Stack TOUGH introduced in 2021, with the upgraded model featuring a more modern ESP32-C5 MCU with dual-band (2.4/5 GHz) Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5 LE, and an IEEE 802.15.4 radio for Zigbee and Thread. Other changes include faster Octal PSRAM, an upgraded RTC chip with a dedicated coin cell backup battery, a passive buzzer replacing the previous 1W speaker, and a custom power management system (M5PM1 + M5IOE1) replacing the AXP192 PMU. These features make it suitable for industrial field control, outdoor edge data collection, and smart building applications.

Developed by Zed (M-Abozaid), the esp32-c3-adblock is an open-source, Pi-hole-style DNS ad blocker that runs on a $2 ESP32-C3 microcontroller board/module without requiring PSRAM. It blocks ads and tracking domains across devices on a home or small office network by filtering DNS requests. Instead of storing domain strings in RAM, the project stores them as sorted 40-bit FNV-1a hashes in flash memory and uses binary search to check DNS requests. When a UDP DNS query comes in, the C++ firmware extracts the domain, hashes it (including parent suffixes), and performs a binary search against the flash hash table. If the domain is on the blocklist, the ESP32-C3 returns 0.0.0.0 to block the request. Otherwise, it forwards the query to an upstream DNS server and returns the response to the client. This method fits over 140,000 domains into ~0.7 MB of flash memory while using only ~50 KB of RAM. A [...] The post Open-source ESP32-C3 DNS ad blocker supports up to over 500,000 domains without PSRAM appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News. View the full article

ZeroWire Robotics Q8botOne is an open-source, palm-sized quadruped robot built around an ESP32-C3 MCU and ROBOTIS DYNAMIXEL smart actuators. Designed with a unique wire-free architecture, the robot integrates all components onto a central printed circuit board also used as the structural chassis. The robot is roughly the size of a smartphone and can jog, jump, and carry up to twice its 250-gram weight. The main PCB uses a dedicated 6V/16A step-down converter for motor power and includes a battery management system for two 14500 Li-ion cells. For control, the kit includes a separate ESP32-C3 controller PCB with an Adafruit Mini I2C Gamepad.

Nuvoton has added MA35D05KH67C, MA35D05KI67C, and MA35D05KJ67C, three new LQFP128 MPUs, to the NuMicro MA35D0 series, along with the NuMaker-IoT-MA35D0-A2 (Chili Pro) evaluation board. Designed for industrial AI, smart gateways, and renewable energy systems, this heterogeneous MPU has two 64-bit Arm Cortex-A35 cores at up to 650 MHz, plus a dedicated 180 MHz Arm Cortex-M4 for real-time work. Nuvoton’s press release calls Chili Pro the “industry’s smallest Linux platform,” but the board is 45 × 45 mm, which is bigger than other boards we wrote about previously, like the VoCore2 (25.4 × 25.4 × 2.8 mm), the Milk-V Duo 256M (51 × 21 mm), NanoPi NEO (40 × 40 mm), and even the Raspberry Pi Zero 2 W (65 × 30 mm). Still, considering that it fits full-sized RJ45 and USB ports along with the other interfaces, it is a pretty compact and capable board.

A look at the USB-PD, PHY, hotplug, and DRM changes involved in making USB-C DisplayPort Alternate Mode work on RK3588/RK3576, and where they stand on the way to mainline Linux. View the full article

This week's work centers on expanded board and SoC support, build and repository infrastructure modernization, and refinements to user-facing tooling and documentation. On the hardware side, mainline support arrived for the Radxa Rock 2A/2F and the Toradex Verdin iMX8M Mini, while the KickPi K2B V2.2 DDR3 gained a full board definition including a new Maxio MAE0621 PHY driver. The Allwinner sun60iw2 platform saw substantial advancement on the Orange Pi 4 Pro with GPU, desktop, and hardware video decode enablement, alongside kernel configuration refinements. The Amlogic C400-plus received U-Boot repacking and Mali-T820 stabilization, the Rockchip armhf edge kernel was bumped to 7.3, and smaller fixes landed for the BPI-M4-Zero, Allwinner D1 RISC-V, MangoPi MQ, and Anbernic handhelds. The build framework received a significant repository management overhaul, adopting the production singlemode repo.sh into main and publishing with Acquire-By-Hash for integrity. OCI storage became configurable with a read-only OCI_PROXY, propagated through CI chunk workflows and runner cleanup. NXP and Trusted Firmware sources were migrated to Armbian-hosted GitHub mirrors, user patches can now override same-named core patches, and USERPATCHES_PATH was restored to working order. For end users, armbianmonitor received a full refactor, armbian-firstlogin gained unattended-preset safety and broader username validation, and the APT lock handling was hardened against stale cache locks. The configng project introduced a read-only registry-cache for ghcr.io, fixed static IP cancellation handling, and corrected tuning-profile swappiness regressions. Documentation expanded to cover OCI storage, unattended first login, and application installation workflows. #Armbian #EmbeddedLinux #SBC #Rockchip #Allwinner #UBoot ChangesActions: Fix noble dkms,

The XIMEA MU003TG-SY-UC is a miniature industrial Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera with a 0.3MP Sony IMX556 CMOS sensor, global shutter, 640 × 480 resolution, and a 60 FPS frame rate. Its compact 26.4 × 26.4 × 28.67 mm enclosure and 31-gram weight make it suitable for space-limited embedded vision systems, robotics, UAVs, kiosks, 3D scanning, face recognition, and other machine-vision applications. The module uses a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface through a 14-pin I-PEX Cabline SS connector for data, power, and control. A separate 10-pin Cabline V connector provides synchronization with external VCSEL illumination. The camera does not include an illumination source or optical band-pass filter, so these components must be provided separately for depth sensing.

Geekworm, in collaboration with Mcuzone, has launched the UPS Scap 5V5A, a new supercapacitor UPS HAT for the Raspberry Pi 5 designed to keep the Raspberry Pi running long enough (a few seconds to a few minutes) to save data and shut down safely, rather than provide hours of backup power. Available in 100F, 60F, and 22F versions, the HAT has a built-in PD chip that negotiates a true 5V/5A output. This gives the Raspberry Pi 5 enough power to run properly without triggering the low-voltage warnings that can happen with some power supplies. The module connects to the Raspberry Pi 5 through pogo pins to detect power loss and supports I2C for checking voltage and current in real time. It also features dual independent power inputs, so you can power it with either a wide-voltage DC barrel jack or a standard USB-C PD charger.

We have seen ESP32s used for everything from simple IoT devices to AI, audio, and vision projects. But while looking for a new project, I found out about ESP-SDR firmware, which turns the ESP32 into a native Software-Defined Radio (SDR) without additional hardware. This open-source firmware bypasses the ESP32’s fixed-function Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modems and taps directly into the internal ADC signal chain to capture raw I/Q baseband samples. It then sends these samples to a computer over USB or UART, where they can be processed and viewed as a radio spectrum or waterfall display, turning supported ESP32 chips into low-cost software-defined radio receivers without requiring additional SDR hardware. Key features and supported hardware: Supported chips – ESP32, ESP32-C3, ESP32-C5 (dual-band 2.4/5 GHz), ESP32-C6, ESP32-C61, ESP32-S2, ESP32-S3, and the preview ESP32-S31 Tuning range – Nominally 2.4 GHz ISM (2.2–2.7 GHz on some chips) and 5 GHz (4.8–6.0 GHz on ESP32-C5); The [...] The post ESP-SDR firmware turns ESP32 into a 2.4/5 GHz Software-Defined Radio (SDR) appeared first on CNX Software - Embedded Systems News.
