I wonder what Risc-V would bring them, other than some de-risking vs potential trade blockages for ARM as Huawei experienced. Would not having to pay royalties to ARM give this chip a cost advantage? By how much?

Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Kind of like the silicon valley of Holland still with major tech companies around (Philips, NXP Semiconductor, ASML, Tomtom, Here) and a growing startup culture. Eindhoven University of Technology is a major forc

He correctly identifies the silicon labs Zigbee/Bluetooth chip but then remarks the Zigbee is not used? It's one of the major selling points of the Echo Plus and it was sold bundled with a Philips Hue bulb for launch. After this

The Dutch police issued 9.2 million traffic fines on a population of 17 million. Most of this is a fully automated system from connected speed traps, to an 'invoicing system'. I feel that if these things are fining apparently wide

There's an old video on Youtube called 'The Machine to build the Machines' which goes in-depth on their automated assembly line for mainboards. Could be a nice intro.
