GUITION JC1060P470C is an ESP32-P4 board with an integrated 7-inch touchscreen display and an ESP32-C6 WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5 module providing wireless connectivity. The display also features a microSD card for storage, a MIPI CSI connector to add a camera, a few USB-C ports, and two FPC connectors for GPIO expansion.
It’s a more integrated version of the ESP32-P4-Function-EV-Board that can be used for HMI applications and that is compatible with the GUITION Designer online design tool to create LVGL-based graphical user interfaces.

The company points to display (JD9165) and touchscreen drivers (GT911) on the ESP IoT Solution GitHub repository, and also shares a zip file with user manual, PDF schematics, datasheets, and code samples for both the ESP-IDF framework and the Arduino IDE.
Support for the ESP-IDF was expected, but I’m more surprised about Arduino, since ESP32-P4 support in Arduino ESP32 is still a work in progress, with features such as MIPI DSI and CSI yet to be supported. There are more examples Demo_IDF, but the Arduino sketch is called “esp32p4_arduino_mipi-dsi_lvgl.ino”, indicating the display is working and the LVGL library is used for the user interface. It turns out there’s a separate “esp32” boards package provided by Espressif Systems for the ESP32-P4 Dev Board and a few other boards, and that’s what is being used here.
I had never heard about GUITION, but GUITION Designer is a web-based LVGL GUI interface developed in China that provides an alternative to the popular SquareLine Studio for Windows, Linux, and macOS. The documentation is only in Chinese, but as I understand it, GUITION Designer is free, and the company makes money selling displays instead of software licenses.
The 7-inch GUITION JC1060P470C ESP32-P4 touchscreen display is sold on AliExpress for $37, and I can also see a 10-inch ESP32-P4 display (JC8012P4A1C) going for $43.75.
