| Yes, 1x Vexriscv RV32-IMAC + MMU, and 4x PicoRV32's as RV32E-MC for I/O processing, configured with extensions to enable deterministic, real-time bit-banging without having to count clocks. |

| That reminds me a lot of the xmos xcore mcus with 8 cores. I am curious what kind of synchronization primitives have you added and why? |

| ▲ | cmrdporcupine 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Sounds like the Parallax Propeller 1/2 as well. It's a good model for MCU stuff. There were people pushing Chip Gracey (Parallax) to use RISC-V instead of his custom ISA when he designed the P2 a few years ago, but he chose to do his own thing. Which has made compiler development difficult. | | |

| Nice! I love the specialized io processors. Fantastic work! |
