Re: analoglamb

Interesting) I wonder why instead of ARM33 - use Risc-V with same configuration
That board will not be cheap. I'd rather go with Kendryte )

Re: How to add project asm files with functions

I definitely need to use Xtensa assembly. Are there any guides or examples how to program in LX6/7 assembler?
Thanks

How to add project asm files with functions

Let's say I want to optimize certain subprocedures in my program and want to use assembly language.
What is the best way of doing that. Is it better to create them in separate .s files or mix in C/C++ ?
Also how do I do that and what special markup or setup do I need

Thanks

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

Maybe it should be referred as KPU210 or MAix module similar to ESP module which is not cpu. And WiFi of external chip is not a bad thing because it wouldn't consume main CPU power or interfere with program tasks. Anyways it's a different module and future more high end esp module could have some be...

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

I think you're taking about some another chip and IMHO this topic is not about, but about next version of ESP32. K210 and ESP are designed to do different tasks. They couldn't compete. K210 SoC is rather a CPU than MCU, is very fast, have plenty of RAM, rich audio/video processing skills, but doesn...

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

We are almost in 2020's - I do not understand any engineer who still uses tiny MCU to build another smartphone, that's the waste of time. ESP32 was designed for doing simple network-based tasks without the user interaction and should stay at this niche. If You need a computer just buy Raspberry. I ...

Re: Esptools GUI

I thought you converted esptool.py into c# )
That would be something very helpful

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

On using RiscV: Let's say that we're not a member of the RiscV foundation just because we had the spare cash and picked them at random :P apart from that, I don't want to divulge too much on roadmap matters. Is there a specific reason that you want to have a 64-bit processor for embedded stuff; why...

Re: What would you like to see in The Next Chip?

Are you guys planning a chip based on Risc-V (64bit) ?
If price of KPU K210 drops it may be very very attractive choice comparing to esp.
Its specs are just insane. If not Risc-V then maybe some Xtensa 64bit cpu with higher clocks and better memory
Cheers
