• Very interesting, this very low power TI MCU with integrated FRAM-Kit...

    To bad thoug hat the kit is so bulky - and not Espruino /Javascript programmable ;-) - but in its defense: LCD display is already on board!

    So far, the FRAM has to be external to the Espruino ST MCU and 'slow' to access - 40MHz clocked SPI, see 256-Kbit (32 K × 8) Serial (SPI) F-RAM - Ferroelecric RAM - SPI challenges. - The advantage of FRAM over EEPROM / FLASH is nicely laid out here.

    When I started considering FRAM, it felt not to be a deal for good; but recently it pops up in various places where EEPROM / FLASH is just to cumbersome to deal with...
