  In case anyone interested, you can run (nommu) Linux on ESP32 Xtensa boardshttps://github.com/jcmvbkbc/esp32-linux-buildESP32-S3 N16R8 is <$5 on aliexpress: - Dual-core Xtensa 240 MHz - 16 MB NOR flash (eXecute-in-place supported) - 8 MB (PS)RAM - Wi-Fi 2.4 GHz 802.11n, Bluetooth As well as Zephyr, NuttX RTOSes, MicroPython.

  Cool! And I do think the world needs more C compilers. There is so much you could do with this language, but it needs to be disentangled from the C++ compiler behemoths. (yes, I now that there are other small C compilers)

  Cool, always refreshing to see different approaches to the same problem, and you learn so much by doing, this is more the kind of tinkering I will be doing in retirement.

  That's super cool! I have been wondering what could be done with ESP32 if it weren't for the lack of RAM.As a fun of Rust, one thing that saddens me is knowing these things would be difficult to achieve with a Rust compiler, given the language seems to be vastly more complex.Unless someone created a subset of Rust without (some?) safety checks, I guess.

  hats off. this is really easy to read and well written and easy to comprehend code imho because it only support basic features. its a really nice example to read through thanks. nice inspiration to see its possible to roll your own for this with a bit restricted featureset and goals :).

  Can this run ELF programs that are placed on the memory card?
