Hi!

Just reading about the new ESP3212 (on sale at seedstudio). Wouldn't that one be a good candidate to run Espruino on?

Best Regards

Prices will drop in the future, in China its less than 3$.
Development boards should follow soon.
But its not a simple step, development for Esp32 is based on freeRtos, which would be new to Espruino.
@Kolban has thrown his hat into the arena some weeks ago.
May be we have to ask him nicely ;-)

That chip is epic. Goddamn. All that sram! And hardware pwm, and sounds like cup-of-coffee pricing...

Yeah, it looks pretty interesting - especially the fact it's got all that ROM on chip (unlike the ESP8266).

If it is truly FreeRTOS then targeting Espruino to FreeRTOS rather than ESP32 specifically would seem like a smart move. It would almost certainly make development easier (since work could start on boards that have a built-in debugger), and it'd open up a bunch of other boards too, like (hopefully) all the WICED based stuff like the EMW3165 and Amazon Dash button.

Unfortunately with everything that's going on I don't have time to spare for this. Hopefully someone will be able to pick it up, but if some company (EspressIF?) wanted to sponsor the work we could get it done more quickly and integrate it better with the existing Espruino codebase.
