New ESP32 chip can run Linux, edging toward Raspberry Pi territory
Original: The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi
Espressif's newest ESP32 microcontroller can reportedly boot and run Linux, a milestone for a chip family usually limited to bare-metal and RTOS workloads. The development puts the low-cost chip closer than ever to entry-level Raspberry Pi single-board computers in capability. Makers and embedded developers are debating what this means for cheap hobbyist computing and whether microcontrollers can now replace small Linux boards in many projects.
Why now: A famously cheap microcontroller family crossing into Linux territory challenges the low end of the single-board computer market.
