New chip ESP8285
New chip ESP8285
Espressif just announced a new chip: https://espressif.com/en/media_overview ... le-devices
From what it sounds, it's just ESP8266 with everything needed integrated on a single chip -- no more separate flash. It will have 1M of flash, so Micropython should run on it without modifications, I guess?

Ouch, I didn't look at the dates, I assumed it was "just" because I haven't heard about it before. Sorry!
Re: New chip ESP8285
I too completely missed the news on the new ESP8285 but looking at the articles about it, wouldn't the ESP32 be a better successor?

Depends for what. It's certainly good to have more choices.patvdleer wrote:I too completely missed the news on the new ESP8285 but looking at the articles about it, wouldn't the ESP32 be a better successor?
This one seems to be targeted at miniaturized things, where the esp8266 modules are too big with their additional flash chip. It has a chance of being as affordable as the esp8266, and will probably run the same software.
The esp32 will be a much more expensive chip, with much more capabilities.

Somehow I'm pretty sure I'll end up buying it anyway regardless of the amount of other controllers I already have laying arounddeshipu wrote:The esp32 will be a much more expensive chip

Re: New chip ESP8285
Thanks for the tip on hackaday deshipu! Just saw the article and expected this thread on the forum, exciting stuff :)
Re: New chip ESP8285
I wonder if the fact that it's going to have the spi flash in dual mode means that we will have extra two gpios to use.

Re: New chip ESP8285
I can confirm that NodeMCU runs out-of-the-box on this SoC: http://frightanic.com/iot/nodemcu-esp82 ... ect-match/ This probably means that MicroPython for the ESP8266 will also work just fine on the ESP8285.
