At a minimum order of 10pcs at $20 a pop, I wish I could afford to play with the GA144, or even imagine using it in a design. You can get a single MSP430 for under $2 from TI.
Sure, I can understand why GA went with 144 cores. Because of their insistence on software defined i/o, you need them. Smarter move would have been GA4+I2C allowing any number of them to be glued using their asynchronous i/o.
Whatever. Their fate is not my problem. Would have loved for them to be insanely successful.
Computing is so ing boring these days.
