This chip is very small and it does not benefit in any possible way from more advanced technological process. And using more advanced process means additional drawbacks and cost increases.
- teruakohatu 6y agoI think it is safe to say they will come out with a WiFi version. The 40nm will be beneficial then.
- kelnos 6y agoI really hope they do. I just bought a little ESP32 board, and while I'm having fun with it, it's a bummer that it's using an oddball ISA (xtensa). I really want to build for it in rust, but the xtensa llvm and rust forks are beta-ish quality, and there's no working wifi driver yet. With the RP2040 based on ARM, rust should work on it after someone works up a peripheral support crate, which shouldn't be too hard if the RPi Foundation releases SVD files.
- lmilcin 6y agoI don't understand this fascination with RP2040. You want Rust to work on ARM? There is a huge selection of easy microcontrollers and boards. Large boards, small boards, wifi, ethernet, usb, arduino compatible, anything you want. https://www.st.com/en/ecosystems/stm32-nucleo.html https://www.st.com/en/ecosystems/stm32-nucleo.html I have a bunch of these. I use them for prototyping before I put together a PCB design but they are fully functional if you want to build a product on them.
