Idk, if your shipping cost is $120, it sounds to me $1 is rounding error.

> A debugger for an ARM part alone a Segger J-Link costs about $600, though I guess for that $100, and add another $100 to ship,so about $200 I could get an EDU edition J-link and no chips or boards. Yaay.
This is bad comparison, you can debug arm soc with <10$ debugger too/
But if you can access to RISC V IC/tools, you can access ARM IC/tools. The Chinese basically spams those ARM IC as many(if not more) as RISC V IC.
To me the author tried to hate ARM for no reason.
I bet they use the same pipeline to produce those chip anyway.
