32 bit RISC-V is pretty much limited to microcontrollers. There's no serious projects to create a Linux capable RV32 machine. Only FPGA soft cores and QEMU.

There is micropython, but just from the description, it's a separate project entirely with the same syntax, etc.

Hence me explicitly talking about ESP32. I was asking about microcontrollers. I know about micropython. I was asking about CPython.


CPython needs you to also be running an operating system. And while it might be theoretically possible to get a NoMMU Linux running on an ESP32, that's generally not very useful for practical applications compared to micropython or something that's actually designed for a microcontroller.

I actually have put that firmware on a MR2600, and it boots, not so sure about working well though. Screwing with OpenWRT and a vague sense it has a twin were my only memories of it. I had to retrace my own research from 4 years ago to come up with something worthy of a comment.


The MR2600 is a rebranded (or same ODM) D Link DIR-882 with a different plastic case, but the MR doesn't come with a rear USB 2.0 port. The FCC photos for each are identical otherwise, right down to the silkscreened board revision.

There's already an OpenWRT image for the DLink model, so coming up with an entry for the Motorola version shouldn't be hard.

Is DoDS still going? I played the heck out of it around 2008/9, it was the best online experience I ever had thanks to the fantastic community.


There are states which are worse, but don't get as much press coverage. Louisiana is essentially just a a US state controlled by petrochemical companies, so portions of the state have extreme rates of cancer.


Microsoft has the OpenCL, OpenGL, Vulkan compatibility pack. Major issue is that it's just Mesa compiled to a D3D12 GPU backend, so if you have anything but Snapdragon it's basically useless.


Without being hands on, it's difficult to make a direct comparison. There's 2 processors according to CNX [0], and the HP core's instruction set might roughly be comparable to M55.

BC-250 had a standard set of SuperIO and Southbridge, and the PS5 has a duo consisting of a custom NVMe controller and custom SuperIO. If what is true from the PS4 is applicable to the PS5, there had to have been some patches to the kernel in order to add platform support for those custom chips.


It's unfortunately par for the course for something like a console to be like this. Consoles are often subsidized by licensing and publishing costs of games, so preventing you from running your own software is within their best interest.


Judging by how every single TSA agent is horrifically trained and doesn't have a drop of care in the world, abolishing the TSA would be a step up from having it.
