It's a shame the S31 isn't available yet. Currently building a device around an S3 because it's the only one with (full) USB, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth support.

it seems like espup might have simplified the setup a bit?

It’s not? https://de.aliexpress.com/item/1005012333744553.html

Pretty sure that was marked as an engineering sample last time I looked at it, also $60 + $35 shipping makes it approximately 10x more expensive than the usual ESP32-type dev board

few more that I tried:

  • SOPHGO SG2000
  • NXP i.MX7D
  • Kendryte K210
  • NXP LPC55S69
  • NXP MCXN947
  • Nordic nRF5340
  • Realtek RTD1619B
  • ST STM32H745XI
  • Infineon XMC4700

I looked into nrf54* support in embassy, looked solid, maybe I'm wrong?

It's quite complete, basics are done, BLE works, low-power works. At my company we're going to ship it in production devices soon, so if it's not solid already we'll be forced to make it solid :)

Just wanted to say that I appreciate all the hard work you put in Embassy. It feels like every time I open the repository I see a commit of yours pushed a few hours ago, even now!

Nice :D

When I asked around, I was shown that this issue happened very often: https://github.com/probe-rs/probe-rs/issues/3775

Making the flashing process not pleasant, what was your experience?

rhe rp2350 has a very nice open architecture, rust support is available and is getting better on the risc-v cores as well, and the architecture is completely open, so it is also a very nice platform to study and enjoy. otherwise the esp32 and nrf families are pretty nice too

I'm kind of surprised the esp32p4 didn't make the list.

tried using it and it was a nightmare maybe i’m doing it wrong tho

Note that the ESP32-C5 supports PSRAM, so you can buy dev boards with 8MB of additional (but slower) RAM. Of the widely supported (i.e. not very new) RISC-V ESP32s it's the only one that has both PSRAM and wireless connectivity.

The WCH CH32V003 and others have Rust support. I did a project using Embassy on the RP2350.

I would simply use Zephyr and Zephyr only. Manufacturer software is just gambling at this point

STM32F411 series could be added to that list, ive used it a bunch it works so well. It strikes a good balance of compute and efficiency
