    New ESP32 chip can run Linux, nearing Raspberry Pi territory●The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry PiYhnScienceSpace Policy23651 min ago

    Espressif's latest ESP32 microcontroller can now boot Linux, putting it close to the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi single-board computer. The development is drawing attention among hobbyists and embedded engineers, who see it as a sign that low-cost microcontrollers are closing the gap with fuller single-board computers for DIY and IoT projects.

    Microcontrollers Now Run a Diffusion Model and 289M LLM▼✉newsTechnologySoftware1 d ago

    A new report highlights that microcontrollers, typically limited to simple embedded tasks, can now run both a diffusion model for image generation and a large language model with 289 million parameters. The development points to AI capabilities moving onto low-cost, low-power hardware rather than requiring cloud servers or GPUs, a notable shift for embedded and edge computing.

    ESP-SDR Turns ESP32 Chips into a Software-Defined Radio●ESP-SDR: Raw IQ Capture with Espressif's ESP32 ChipsYhnTechnologySemiconductors656 min ago

    A project called ESP-SDR enables raw IQ capture using Espressif's ESP32 chips, effectively repurposing the ubiquitous low-cost Wi-Fi microcontrollers as a software-defined radio. Developed by the Espargos team, it lets hobbyists sample wireless signals directly with inexpensive off-the-shelf hardware. Engineers and radio enthusiasts are discussing the technical achievement, since dedicated SDR hardware normally costs far more than an ESP32 board.
