I really do wish the pinetime had more RAM; it's really really small and a pretty painful bottleneck.
Edit: Oh, once the "pro" version is out I guess there's an easy answer to that: https://pine64.org/2026/03/28/pinetime_march_2026/ https://pine64.org/2026/03/28/pinetime_march_2026/
- dubdbdb 2mo agoThe original PineTime has 64 KiB of RAM and execute in place ROM which is plenty for an embedded device
- yjftsjthsd-h 2mo agoIt's adequate, but it is a little cramped
- mrheosuper 2mo agoI wouldn't say 64kb of ram "plenty" in smartwatch world, barely enough for ble stack, RGB framebuffer and other stuff. The pepple time 2 uses sf32lb52 mcu has 16MB of PSRAM.
