that is 100 MCU for $10 :D

josuah: for anything that doesn't have to be fast or have high analog precision, you can use it to replace pretty much any other chip

what I fancy is taking existing products, turn the zillion of smart things inside to just enough components to get the same features, in more reliable/durable ways, for less cost

but being priced this low means that RISC-V can reach lower-end devices that were stuck with custom 8-bit firwmares

s/firmware/cpu cores/
22:15
<
muurkha >
yeah, it's cheaper than any AVR8
22:16
<
muurkha >
but still more expensive than some of Padauk's line, which are also more capable when it comes to digital peripherals
22:17
<
josuah >
when shrinking enough, the MCU core might become a relatively large part?
22:17
<
muurkha >
I think that's the idea with Padauk
22:18
<
josuah >
they have some features helping to circumvent their lack of peripherals support iirc
22:18
<
josuah >
some multiple register banks to quickly switch across... something snarkily called FPPA
22:19
<
muurkha >
I meant the "FPPA" thing amounts to more capable digital peripherals than the WCH chip's STM32-clone peripherals
22:20
<
josuah >
muurkha: so you could play with them? How does this feels like?
22:20
<
muurkha >
I don't have either the WCH 32V003
*or* any Padauk chip unfortunately
22:20
<
josuah >
is it reminiscent of RP2040's PIO? Is it like bit-banging protocols?
22:20
<
muurkha >
but the Padauk FPPA idea is, as you say, just a conventional CDC-6600-style barrel processor
22:21
<
muurkha >
so it's sort of like the RP2040 pioasm, but you're using the 8-bit chip's normal machine code, which can only do one thing per cycle
22:21
jmdaemon has joined #riscv
22:21
<
muurkha >
you don't get the zero-overhead looping and VLIW-like stuff you have in pioasm
22:22
<
josuah >
so no driving a parallel port with the same frequency as the MCU for instance
22:22
<
muurkha >
but you do get deterministic per-cycle task switching and thus cycle-accurate I/O and two-clock-cycle pin-to-pin latency, as I understand it
22:23
<
muurkha >
well, you don't have enough pins for a whole parallel port, do you? :)
22:23
<
josuah >
:D oops, good point
22:23
<
muurkha >
but I think you could probably drive a slice of one at 1/4 to 1/8 the clock speed, so maybe 2-4 MHz
22:43
<
josuah >
after the tiny cheap cheap MCUs, the tiny cheap cheap FPGAs: GreenPAK, giving you something like 10 LUTs (and a few analog things)
22:43

for about $0.20 on volume
