RELOC has introduced the SCINTIX P4, a compute module featuring an ESP32-P4 processor designed to fit existing Raspberry Pi CM4 and CM5 carrier boards. The device is currently a pre-launch project listed on Crowd Supply.
Why it matters
This module allows developers to integrate the ESP32-P4 processor into established hardware ecosystems without the need for custom motherboard designs. It effectively bridges the gap between specialized RISC-V compute performance and standardized industry form factors.
The SCINTIX P4 measures 55 by 40 millimeters and utilizes a dual-core RISC-V processor clocked at 400MHz. It lacks support for HDMI or PCIe interfaces.
The players
RELOC
An engineering firm focused on developing specialized computing modules and hardware integration solutions.
Crowd Supply
A crowdfunding platform focused on open-source hardware and specialized electronic components.
The details
The module uses two Hirose DF40C-100DP connectors—standard high-density board-to-board interfaces—to achieve mechanical compatibility with Raspberry Pi carrier boards. An integrated ESP32-C6 coprocessor handles wireless tasks, communicating via a four-bit SDIO (Secure Digital Input Output) and UART interface. Peripheral support includes two-lane MIPI-DSI for displays and two-lane MIPI-CSI for cameras, providing a standardized path for visual output and input.

The Tech Race
The module leverages the widely adopted Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 form factor to bypass the need for new carrier board designs. This strategy places the ESP32-P4 into a crowded market of high-performance compute modules aiming for plug-and-play industrial integration.
Developers can utilize their existing carrier boards for new projects once the module moves beyond its current pre-launch status. Users should note that the module does not support HDMI or PCIe, which may require adjustments to existing signal paths.
The takeaway
The SCINTIX P4 offers a modular approach to deploying RISC-V hardware within existing standardized environments. Watch the project page on Crowd Supply for confirmed pricing and updated availability windows.
