Wireless-Tag has launched a Kickstarter campaign for the ESP32P4C61-TINY, a compact open-source AIoT development board based on their WT01P461-S1 module, which combines ESP32-P4 (general-purpose) and ESP32-C61 (wireless) RISC-V SoCs.
Like other ESP32-P4 boards, including the ESP32P4C5 Core Board, the M5Stack Stamp-P4, or ESP32-P4-Pi-VIEWE, this one also uses a separate SoC (ESP32-C61) for wireless connectivity. Additionally, it features built-in MIPI CSI and DSI for camera and display support, along with a microSD card slot for storage, making it suitable for AIoT and edge computing applications.

The company mentions the project is fully open source, but like most Kickstarter campaigns, no specific GitHub repository or detailed documentation is available, and it will likely be released once the campaign ends. So far, the page only provides a blurry schematic, and the board will most likely rely on Espressif’s standard ESP-IDF framework for development. All information should eventually show up on the company’s GitHub account and documentation website.
The ESP32-C61 is supposed to be a cost-down version of the ESP32-C6 without an 802.15.4 radio, a single RISC-V core, and less memory (320KB SRAM), but it’s unclear if the lower price is reflected in this specific board…
The ESP32P4C61-TINY board is live on Kickstarter as part of a kit, with the “Super Early Bird” tier priced at around $40, a 51% discount from the $81.50 MSRP. The package will include the board itself, a 2.8-inch MIPI display, a MIPI camera, an antenna, headers, and a USB-C cable. Other tiers include an “Early Bird” at ~$66 and a “Double Discount” offering two kits for ~$76. The company states that shipping is expected to start in July 2026, and that taxes and shipping costs are extra.
