interesting how high this comment got then how hard it fell. +6 to +2. for my posts thats a notable swing
amusingly the critics are saying that a7 isnt the right choice, but are citing an equally aged, unmoving set of microcontrollers as what should be used. these chips at least uaually have docs, i feel like.
personally i think decent low power application processors are as much if not more of the challenge than microcontrollers to iot's developmemt. everything is a smart speaker, smart camera, has screens. watches run apps, clocks run apps. arm failing this industry miserably is quite the story. but yes, datacenters & the cloud are eattinf the world. tech is innovating ul, to bigger & bigger more expensive offerings, & the cut-throat consumer tech offerings are dying. it's a market intel bounced out of, amd commands a huge price in, and which sees nearly no wins. m3/m4+a7 forever and ever; maybe someday risc-v will shake things up.
