Rapid Prototyping Activity
ALC Internal R&D
A rapid prototype test to see how we can iterate on firmware / hardware designs
This was inspired by the low cost ($0.20!) 48 MHz RISC-V chip from WCH. We wanted to see how fast we could build a board and pull together a range of functions into this affordable, flexible platform. It was built to utilize the ch32V003fun library (now known as the ch32fun library) and samples. That library is also predicated on super fast iteration and compilation loops. This is also a foray into the world of low cost and marginally-documented parts from China and seeing how usable they are in commercial designs.
