Don't worry. No one is bothering with it outside of the hobbist market because it needs an external SPI flash chip, which one cannot protect by programming fuses. Your code is left unprotected, the Chinese can easily clone your product and put millions of units on the market. The ESP chips are a better pick even with all the bugs involved. It's quite typical of the Chinese manufacturers to have like 30 models of some product and release a few new ones every few years. The ESP is no different.
- 15155 2y agoExternal SPI flash can be encrypted on-the-fly with most real commercial MCUs - the issue is that this was not designed to be a commercial MCU for use in products. Relative to other offerings, it's pretty nice (not a fan of ESP32 Xtensa or their new RV32 offerings - ARM chips are so much better) as a DIY/hobbyist/open source chip.
