ForgeUI P4

Production-ready LVGL v9 framework and ESP-IDF baseline for the ESP32-P4 RISC-V MCU.

ForgeUI provides a clean, modular, hardware-proven embedded UI foundation for developers building real ESP32-P4 products using LVGL and ESP-IDF.

Pre-configured and tested on the:

Waveshare ESP32-P4-WIFI6-Touch-LCD-7B

OVERVIEW

ForgeUI removes the painful low-level ESP32-P4 bring-up stage by already integrating:

  • EK79007 MIPI DSI display support
  • GT911 capacitive touch support
  • ESP-Hosted WiFi
  • ESP32-C6 remote WiFi transport
  • DS3231 RTC integration
  • SD card support
  • LVGL v9 runtime
  • modular UI architecture
  • keyboard overlays
  • configurable feature system
  • clean ownership boundaries
  • product-oriented runtime structure

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

ForgeUI intentionally avoids demo-driven runtime architecture and instead focuses on:

  • stable hardware bring-up
  • clean module ownership
  • reusable embedded UI patterns
  • safe LVGL runtime rules
  • production-oriented structure
  • maintainable firmware architecture
  • real-world ESP32-P4 integration

CORE ARCHITECTURE RULES

  • main.c owns boot order only
  • backends own system truth
  • UI renders state only
  • no unsafe async LVGL calls
  • modular compile-time feature control
  • no hidden subsystem ownership
  • no demo-driven runtime coupling
  • safe backend/UI separation

CURRENT PROVEN FEATURES

Current proven ForgeUI P4 baseline includes:

  • display operational
  • touch operational
  • LVGL v9 operational
  • hosted WiFi operational
  • WiFi scan/connect/disconnect
  • RTC persistence
  • DS3231 RTC integration
  • audio path support
  • SD card support
  • keyboard overlay system
  • modular UI foundation
  • theme foundation
  • status drawer architecture
  • single-page UI baseline
  • modular multi-page UI baseline

TARGET USE CASES

ForgeUI is designed as a clean starting point for:

  • embedded products
  • industrial UI systems
  • ESP32-P4 experimentation
  • LVGL projects
  • touchscreen appliances
  • dashboards
  • games
  • kiosk systems
  • hardware prototypes
  • commercial firmware platforms
  • industrial HMI systems
  • product development platforms

SOFTWARE STACK

Built using:

  • ESP-IDF v5.5.x
  • LVGL v9
  • ESP-Hosted
  • esp_wifi_remote
  • Waveshare BSP ecosystem
  • Espressif managed components

HARDWARE SUPPORT

Current proven hardware support includes:

  • ESP32-P4 RISC-V MCU
  • ESP32-C6 Hosted WiFi
  • EK79007 display controller
  • GT911 touch controller
  • DS3231 RTC
  • SD card support
  • audio subsystem support

PROJECT DIRECTION

ForgeUI intentionally favors:

  • clarity
  • stability
  • maintainability
  • reusable architecture
  • hardware-proven workflows
  • readable embedded structure

The goal is to provide a reusable, understandable, hardware-proven ESP32-P4 baseline suitable for real embedded products rather than temporary demo-driven firmware.
