#371 RISC-V: How much is open source? Featuring the new ESP32-C3

When I got these new RISC-V ESP32 boards in my mail, I asked myself: Is this new technology revolutionary as written everywhere? What are the advantages for a typical Maker? Time for a closer look. But pay attention: It will be a rough ride and not for the fainthearted because we will talk about “stacks,” “IP,” “ecosystems,” and a lot about standardization. If you hang on till the end, you should have enough knowledge to impress your boss. But maybe you will not be happy.
