Is the STM32F7 the heart for next version of Espruino?
The interesting parts are
F7 backwards compatibility with F4 instruction set
Built in encryption coprocessor
Special (code/data) memory for extra fast execution
...and much more
Just too bad that there is no pin compatibility and the minimal pin config is 100pins (4x25)... so not really suitable for the Pico idea of a micro controller on a usb stick... (except components on both sides and may be 2+ layer PCB... and a price jumping throgh the roof).
Especially noteworthy is the special memory for faster execution, something that could help the Espruino interpreter... (have though no information about actual requirements in regard of resource use of the interpreter...).
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.
@Gordon, ran across these news:
