But you also left developers with really hard to use dev tools based on a fork of gcc. The arch also left you having to do all kinds of mental gymnastics when writing code to make sure you were keeping the size down. That said the chips certainly did there job at a good price point once you got everything stable and fixes made to the binary blobs that you had no way to debug.

Anyhow, I guess my belief is that a similar company to CSR could put RISCV cores in their chips now, which would avoid the problem you describe and some of the problems I described with using ARM.
