ESP32

More context

Recent ESP32 coverage is focused on new hardware and platform updates: an e-Ink ESP32 “Game Boy” running at 60Hz, multiple new ESP32-C6/ESP32 boards with expanded connectivity, and a BIOS-style firmware project bringing PC-like features including network boot and OTA updates. Overall, the trend is toward more capable ESP32 derivatives and richer user-facing applications (displays, audio, HMI).
