Product Introduction

Overview

reTerminal D1001 is an intelligent large-screen interaction terminal powered by Espressif's latest high-performance ESP32-P4 chip. Designed for AIoT application scenarios requiring high-performance graphics display, video processing, and voice interaction, it leverages the ESP32-P4's powerful 400MHz dual-core RISC-V processor and rich multimedia peripheral interfaces to easily handle complex edge computing and multimedia tasks.

Core Features

• Powerful Processing for Rich Interfaces: Powered by ESP32-P4, a 32-bit RISC-V dual-core processor (HP Core 400MHz) with 32 MB PSRAM and built-in JPEG codec engine, it delivers the performance needed for graphics-rich interfaces, smooth real-time interaction, and complex edge AI tasks.
• 8-Inch Touch Display with Rich HMI Support: The 8-inch 800 × 1280 capacitive touch display, driven over MIPI-DSI, supports both portrait and landscape modes (via IMU), providing ample space to build polished dashboards, smart control panels, and other UI-focused embedded devices.
• Integrated Wireless Connectivity: Wireless communication is enabled by an onboard ESP32-C6 supporting Wi-Fi 6 (2.4 GHz) and Bluetooth 5 (LE). The main processor communicates with the connectivity subsystem via an SDIO interface, enabling reliable wireless networking for connected devices and IoT applications.
• Camera Interface for Vision Development: Equipped with a 2MP MIPI-CSI camera (SC2356) supporting up to 1600 × 1200 at 30 fps, the platform is ready for image capture, live preview, and embedded vision development right out of the box.
• Voice and Audio Capabilities: Dual microphones and a built-in speaker enable voice input, sound capture, and multimedia playback. With echo cancellation supported by the ES7210 audio ADC, the system delivers clear voice capture for AI assistants and voice-enabled applications.
• Rich Expansion: Provides GPIO, I2C, UART, and other expansion interfaces to meet diverse sensor and actuator connection needs.

Getting Started with ESP-IDF

This section guides you through setting up the development environment and running the factory demo firmware to experience the powerful features of reTerminal D1001.

Configure the ESP-IDF development environment

Step 1. Install ESP-IDF

Use Espressif's latest cross-platform installation tool, ESP-IDF Installation Manager.

1. Download ESP-IDF: Visit the ESP-IDF Installation Manager Download Page, select the Offline Installer tab, choose the Windows version (v5.4.2+ recommended), and click Download to get both the .zst and .exe files.

   
   

2. Install from Archive: Run the installer (eim-gui-windows-x64.exe), select Install from archive (the offline package will be automatically detected), choose an installation path (default recommended; avoid Chinese characters or spaces), and click Start Installation.

   
   

3. Complete Installation: Once finished, click Install Driver to complete the setup.

   

Step 2. Install Visual Studio Code & ESP-IDF Extension

1. Download and install Visual Studio Code.
   • During installation, it is recommended to check "Add 'Open with Code' action to Windows Explorer file context menu" to quickly open project folders.
2. Open VS Code, click the Extensions icon in the sidebar (or use Ctrl + Shift + X) to open the Extensions view.
3. Type ESP-IDF in the search box, find the ESP-IDF extension, and click Install.
   

Get the Firmware Repository

Open your terminal or Git Bash and clone the official reTerminal D1001 repository:

git clone https://github.com/Seeed-Studio/reTerminal-D1001-alpha

Build and Flash Demo Firmware

1. Open Project: Use VS Code to open the cloned reTerminal-D1001-alpha folder.

   
   tip

   Please make sure to open the examples/factory_firmware directory within the project. Opening the root directory may cause compilation failures.

   

2. Set Target Chip:

   • In the VS Code status bar at the bottom, select the target chip as esp32p4.
   • Or run in the terminal: idf.py set-target esp32p4.

3. Build, Flash and Monitor:

   • Connect the device to your computer via USB Type-C.
   • Click the "Flash" (flame icon) button in the VS Code status bar to build, flash, and start the monitor in one step.
   

Experience Demo Features

After the firmware is successfully flashed, the device will automatically restart. You can interact with the device as follows:

• Power and Screen Control: Long press the green button for more than 3 seconds to power on. Short press the button to turn off the screen, and short press again to wake it up.
• Smooth UI Interaction: Experience smooth sliding transitions and application launch animations.
  
• Camera Preview: Open the Camera App to view real-time footage.
  
• Sensor Demo: Rotate the device to observe the screen auto-rotation effect or check other sensor data.
