Having once again been kicked off the desktop by the eldest - Fraud is finally out for Ultrakill, I'm told - I'm posting today's #Hackster round-up from the laptop. Shorter one, at least, with only three, and the last of the month as I've hit my target a day early.

First up, a new open-hardware Espressif ESP32-P4 development board from David Johnson-Davies - in a compact Feather footprint.

David Johnson-Davies Brings Espressif's Powerful ESP32-P4 to the Feather Form Factor

Compact open-hardware PCB design even includes access to the chip's USB peripheral on bonus pins — but there's no Wi-Fi or Bluetooth radio.

And I end the week with the upcoming Exaviz Cruiser - a carrier board for the #RaspberryPi Compute Module 5 which adds... well, everything.

M.2 PCIe slot? Yup. Full-size HDMI ports? Check. ESP32 communications coprocessor? Yes. 2.5-gig-Ethernet? Yeppers. An up-to-16-port gigabit PoE+ switch? Amazingly, yes.
