If you could have your favorite core inside of something as cheap an esp32, what would it be?

I never dreamed that I would max out a $6000 Xilinx board. Going to need that $16,000 board after all.

Working on solving this problem. It's large corporate conglomerates that own IP and won't give it up. Most cores and radios are licensed IP and everybody pays royalties to everybody else. Hardware developed and accelerated by AI will change this. mericron.com
how the fuck are we supposed to foster American industry and development if your fucking SHITTY PARTS have datasheets BEHIND NDA? I WANT TO USE AMERICAN PARTS! but now I guess I'm fucked. I have to use the Chinese part that is cheaper and has a datasheet available

Had a great time discussing Rural American Reindustrialization and silicon domination today on the Reforge Podcast! Thank you @ThaaatColin and @MatthewChang

You're gonna be able to Wi-Fi sense with this thing so hard. I promise to let you play with the MAC and CSI as much as you want.

It's really really happening now ($) and you're welcome. Now the question is: How fast can I ship the MCN-1 and break our reliance on foreign or closed blob rf enabled chispsets Continuing to raise for Mericron and finish this round but that window will be closing soon! Just want to say thanks to everyone who encouraged me at the Reindustrialize summit. The journey is just beginning.

The American Sovereign Silicon Movement is just beginning, with companies like @Mericron helping lead the charge by raising for MCN-1, their pre-silicon chip aimed to be designed, fabricated, packaged, and tested entirely in the United States. glitchwire.com/news/mericron…
