What a weird choice, have same "family" name of ESP32 yet completely different ISAs
- randyrand 4y agoIt’s not so weird as you think. They all are supported by ESP-IDF equally and therefore feel very similar to program and work with.
- ilyt 4y agoI'm wondering why the change of the architecture in the first place and not wait for next iteration of the platform. I guess maybe they wanted to keep the brand name ?
- randyrand 4y agoThey've developed the ESP32 platform for 6 years already. "The next platform" could be decades away, not worth waiting for and missing out on the RISC-V tooling (compilers, debuggers, etc).
