ESP32

More context

Recent ESP32 coverage is dominated by new hardware variants and boards (ESP32-S3 E Ink devkit, ESP32-C6 USB-C board, ESP32-P4 HMI display, and an ESP32 mini WiFi/Bluetooth speaker add-on). There’s also momentum around running richer software on ESP32—like a Game Boy emulator hitting 60 FPS and a PC-like OpenC6 BIOS enabling network boot and OTA on ESP32-C6.
