Building for it

A project is made for one toolchain, picked when you start it. For this board you can use two of the four:

Toolchain
Arduino (C++)	Every board, every widget and every peripheral here. The most control, and the most to set up. Start a project
MicroPython	The MicroPython export has not been built for this chip yet. It is written for the ESP32, S2, S3, C3 and C6.
ESPHome	The ESP32-P4 is only useful here with a MIPI-DSI panel, which this export does not write yet.
ESP-IDF (C)	Espressif's own framework: esp_lcd, the component registry and idf.py, with nothing of Arduino in it. Start a project

Also on the board

I2C (GPIO 7 / 8) - SDA GPIO 7, SCL GPIO 8
SDCard - SD card, CLK GPIO 43, CMD GPIO 44, D0 GPIO 39, D1 GPIO 40, D2 GPIO 41, D3 GPIO 42
WiFiCoprocessor - Wi-Fi co-processor, CLK GPIO 18, CMD GPIO 19, D0 GPIO 14, D1 GPIO 15, D2 GPIO 16, D3 GPIO 17, RST GPIO 54
The ESP32-C6 beside the P4 is this board's Wi-Fi, on the ESP32 core's own SDIO lines for the P4, which Waveshare's own Arduino Wi-Fi example relies on. It must run ESP-Hosted of the core's release (the README says how to tell). Waveshare's ESP-IDF examples are written for ESP-Hosted 1.4, so a C6 as it leaves the factory may be of that older line and need updating, through the 4-pin pads the board has for flashing it.

The preset adds these to the Hardware tab with the board, so a sensor can go straight onto the connector.

Check your revision. Nobody at LCD Wizard has had this board: the export for it compiles and has not been seen on the panel. A user had one running from an LCD Wizard export he changed by hand to Waveshare's own settings and Waveshare's copy of GFX Library for Arduino; this preset carries those settings, read again from Waveshare's Arduino examples for the board, on the library as it is published: the HX8394 under Waveshare's register table, two lanes at 700 Mbps, 58 MHz, hsync 20/20/40, vsync 4/10/24, the panel's reset on GPIO 27 - active high, so the generated code pulses it itself, where the library's own pulse would leave this panel in reset - and the backlight on GPIO 26, lit when high and dimmed by PWM (Waveshare say a steady level does not light it, and the export's PWM never holds it steady). A design on this preset starts on revision 3 of the ESP32-P4, which Waveshare's own Arduino examples for the board build for; for a chip before revision 3 (the upload says "revision v1.x"), choose that under Hardware > Board > Chip revision. The GT911 has no reset or interrupt line driven and may answer at 0x14 instead of 0x5D. The TF card (SDMMC, 4-bit) and the ES8311 speaker codec (amplifier on GPIO 53) are in the kit. Wi-Fi is the ESP32-C6 beside the P4, in the kit as the Wi-Fi co-processor on the ESP32 core's own SDIO lines (CLK 18, CMD 19, D0-D3 14-17, reset 54) - Waveshare publish no pins for it, and their own Arduino Wi-Fi example uses those defaults; it has to run ESP-Hosted of the core's release, which the board prints at start (see the README). Wi-Fi through it compiles and has not been on a board. Not driven: the two ES7210 microphones, the camera connector and the C6's Bluetooth; ESP-NOW does not go through the C6.

Designing for it in LCD Wizard

Choose Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-5 on the Hardware tab (or use the button above) and every pin on this page is filled in. The export writes the sketch, lcd_pins.h, the GFX Library for Arduino configuration, lv_conf.h and platformio.ini - a project that builds for this board as it comes.
The GT911 is capacitive and needs no calibration. The firmware resets it and checks it answers on every boot.
The backlight is dimmable: give a slider or a button a Set backlight action.
With PSRAM the LVGL memory pool can live there, leaving internal RAM for everything else.
Screens are designed for 720 x 1280 px in either orientation, with LVGL 9 or LVGL 8.

The parts

HX8394. ESP32-P4 only, with PSRAM. Driven under its maker's own register load: Waveshare's 5" 720x1280 (ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-5), whose reset is active high. Compiled, not yet seen on a board.

GT911. The address is selected by the INT pin level during reset, so wire INT and RST if you can.

ESP32-P4. Has a MIPI-DSI host and a 2D graphics accelerator (PPA). Arduino core support is newer - verify your core version.

GFX Library for Arduino. Moshi Liu's library. Best QSPI/AMOLED and RGB coverage. Configured in code.

The pinout on one page

Every pin above, laid out to print and keep beside the bench. Generated from this preset, so it says exactly what the designer writes into lcd_pins.h.

From the people who made it

The board’s own documentation. Pinouts on vendor pages do sometimes disagree with the hardware in front of you - where this page and that one differ, trust your board and tell us.
