espressif's "Chip7 2-2-A" spotted in the wild

[WiFive]

Sounds like it is basically "esp32+" or "esp33". I think we can mention small things that are hopefully fixed/upgraded from esp32 since it is not in production yet, there is still time!

- More psram cache address space
- More flash cache address space
- better ulp core (some tiny xtensa thing?, c targetable)
- minimal iomux conflicts
- better i2c peripheral, support clock stretching, slave address mask, monitor/debug mode
- support espnow and ble advertising from rom/ram only (wake stub, no flash load)
- BLE 5 phy features
- better continuity of reserved ram areas

Review the wish list...
- More psram cache address space ✓
- More flash cache address space ✓
- better ulp core ✓
- minimal iomux conflicts ✓ (we'll assume more pins means yes)
- better i2c peripheral, support clock stretching, slave address mask, monitor/debug mode (maybe)
- support espnow and ble advertising from rom/ram only (wake stub, no flash load) ✖
- BLE 5 phy features ✖
- better continuity of reserved ram areas ✓ (probably)

I think the I2C slave implements some kind of clock stretching now, so there's at least half a ✓ more

Will it be able to load and run programs from PSRAM?

[ESP_Sprite]

I think psram also has I-port access now, so yes.

incredible moment
if that's possible - who should be able to top that setup?
espressifer's digi guys - keep up the very good work !!
the last 5 years we have invested well, I do not regret a minute.
Excellent!

few things are spotted in the wild last hour's..

May I ask - why not 2 cores?

[ESP_Sprite]

Because cheaper. We're still of the opinion multiple cores is a good idea, just not in this specific chip.

[Vader_Mester]

Well, 240MHz is well enough. Although, in this case FreeRTOS could be excluded entirely, and maybe, the chip's resources could be used more efficiently.

However I still think that in more complex cases FreeRTOS or something simillar can still be a good option.

One request for the devs: Please make a WROVER style module from the start. Also - I guess I probably ask too much - but make an IDF config option to be able to configure the chip to be able to correctly run code from PSRAM.

I can strongly predict, that as soon as this is launched, someone will make an OS for the chip, and not long after, someone will port a Linux onto this thing - thanks to the PSRAM instruction running capability, and 128MB PSRAM support!

mhm one core, dual core,
what is with ( pspspspspspsp ) ESP32-S3x
how much cores?
can you wisper a little? ( only little, come on )


not that i did not say it - but have everyone noted that the NEW is not LX6 but it is LX7 ?
2 FLOPS / cycle for the LX6, but 64 FLOPS / cycle for the LX7 ( Info ENG , Info DE )

hosa

espressif's own DSP is comming

exciting year!
