In lieu of the documentation, Kendryte has _a ton_ of code on their github, so you could use that if you're looking to work on something practical. For me, having a dual core risc-v, with _TPU_ and _DSP_ onboard for $8 in single digit quantities is absolutely nuts. I frankly didn't believe it and thought the spec sheet was fake, but I've since bought some real dev boards with this chip, and they work. Even if you don't need the TPU bits, just having dual-core risc-v is more than worth the price of admission.
- labawi 7y agoI don't care about TPU, don't need DSP, but dual-core - yes, please do. Having a dedicated core for hard-real time and using the other for more complicated things is way better than single core. I've seen so many projects attempting to cover timing glitches from their single cores doing everything. I don't understand why there aren't many multi-core offerings. It's not as if the silicon would cost a lot more, especially when it would be possible to downgrade the speed and/or size.
- m0zg 7y agoIt certainly would be pretty awesome if there was a modification of this chip without a TPU but with an MMU instead, so it'd be capable of running a proper OS rather than FreeRTOS or bare metal.
