## What it does

This skill injects pinouts, recipes, and validated build setups for the Guition JC4880P443C_I_W board into your agent context. It provides reference configs for `platformio.ini`, `sdkconfig.defaults`, ST7701S panel timings, and peripheral hooks for the ES8311 codec and GT911 touch controller.

The hardware pairs a radio-less ESP32-P4 with an ESP32-C6 companion chip communicating over SDIO for Wi-Fi. Getting a working screen requires passing Guition's custom init table inside `st7701_vendor_config_t.init_cmds`; using stock driver tables leaves the screen blank while returning `ESP_OK`. Boards on silicon rev v1.3 also crash with `Illegal instruction` unless built with `CONFIG_ESP32P4_SELECTS_REV_LESS_V3=y`.

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/alexex1993/mcu-skills --path skills/esp32/esp32p4-jc4880p443
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/esp32p4-jc4880p443/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add alexex1993/mcu-skills --skill esp32p4-jc4880p443 -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/alexex1993/mcu-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/esp32/esp32p4-jc4880p443/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- configure PlatformIO and ESP-IDF for Guition JC4880P443
- fix bootloader `Illegal instruction` crashes on silicon rev v1.3
- initialize the ST7701S MIPI-DSI display without a black screen
- set up Wi-Fi networking through the ESP32-C6 SDIO slave

## Example prompts
- Generate a working platformio.ini and sdkconfig.defaults for the JC4880P443 rev v1.3
- Show the initialization sequence and timings for the ST7701S panel on this board
- Which GPIO pins are unassigned on the JC4880P443 JP1 header?

description: Firmware development for the Guition JC4880P443C_I_W (JC4880P443, JC4880P443C, often mistyped JC4880P433) — a 4.3" 480x800 IPS touch display board on the JC-ESP32P4-M3 module (ESP32-P4NRW32, 32 MB PSRAM, 16 MB flash, ESP32-C6 Wi-Fi co-processor on SDIO) — its ST7701S MIPI-DSI panel, GT911 touch, backlight, ES8311 codec with speaker amp and mic, microSD, RS485, battery charger, 2x13 header, and the PlatformIO + ESP-IDF (pioarduino) setup around them. Use when working on this board: project setup, platformio.ini and sdkconfig.defaults, the P4 silicon revision and an "Illegal instruction" boot, a black DSI screen, ST7701 init sequence and timings, GT911 init errors, backlight PWM, choosing a free GPIO, Wi-Fi through esp_hosted and esp_wifi_remote, SD card, audio, flashing over USB-C, or debugging why something on the board does not work.

# Guition JC4880P443C_I_W (ESP32-P4, 4.3" 480×800)

A 4.3" portrait IPS panel with capacitive touch, bolted to the same **JC-ESP32P4-M3** module
Guition uses on its P4 dev boards: an ESP32-P4 with no radio, plus an ESP32-C6 that does the
Wi-Fi over SDIO.

Three things shape almost every task on this board. First, **the panel only works with
Guition's ST7701 init sequence, and Guition hid it** inside a patched copy of the driver:
take their calling code with the registry driver and you get a black screen with every
call returning `ESP_OK`. Second, **the silicon comes in two incompatible revisions** and
ESP-IDF defaults to the one this board does not have — the symptom is a bootloader that
dies with `Illegal instruction`. Third, **Wi-Fi is a second chip with its own firmware and
its own NVS**, and under PlatformIO its host driver does not even start by itself.

- `reference/board-hardware.md` — the board: every module pad and where it goes, the GPIO
  budget, JP1, connectors, power tree, display chain and why the init table matters, touch,
  I2C, audio, SD, the silicon-revision table, measured memory/clock figures, the vendor
  archive and what is wrong in it, toolchain traps, flashing and recovery, Wi-Fi through the
  C6, and a symptom → cause → fix table.
- `reference/recipes.md` — code: `platformio.ini`, `sdkconfig.defaults`, the DSI panel with
  its full init table, framebuffer drawing, backlight, GT911, the I2C bus, ES8311 ID,
  battery, Wi-Fi scan through the C6, a 16 MB partition table, microSD, ES8311 audio + mic,
  Arduino settings. Each says whether it ran on hardware.
- `reference/esp32p4-soc.md` — the silicon: GPIO inventory, strapping, ADC, the three USB
  controllers, MIPI/SDMMC/LDO blocks. Shared with the `esp32p4-jc-m3-dev` skill.
- `reference/esp32-family.md` — the rest of the ESP32 line, for "should this be a different
  chip?" questions.
- `template/` — a project that **builds clean and has run on the board**, in two variants,
  plus a scaffold script. See `template/README.md`.
