Well I've already gotten simple 2D games working in bare-metal ARM with OLED and TFT displays, it's more the emulation aspect of things that is intimidating.
ARM Cortex-M cores are also a bit different from the Application-class processors used in boards like the Raspberry Pi. They are closer to an Arduino than a "real computer".
- pjmlp 8y agoYeah, I guess I misunderstood you. That is how we did 8 and 16 bit coding on home micros back in the day. :) My favourite SOC is the ESP32, but I guess it already has too much hardware to emulate and isn't an ARM anyway.
- leggomylibro 8y agoHaha, no worries - embedded stuff sometimes feels so confusing that I think I misunderstand myself most of the time. Yeah, I've wanted to learn more about the ESP32 - it seems like people have done some really cool stuff with it and it looks like you get a lot of power and connectivity. But I'll bet you can empathize with not having enough hours in the day!
- pjmlp 8y agoYup, my github repo is full of useless, unfinished stuff. :)
