It looks like it will open a new application scenario for low-performance hardware products.
You can experience SiFive's product in the real world.

Hoping you will enjoy M60.
The hardware includes a QSPI flash which presents as an USB storage that stored Python source code, and you can modify Python directly.
BTW, It provides a new way to validate your hardware product ideas quickly.
I love this article, and I wanna promote our works in this thread :)
We are build some little Nordic nRF52-based widgets for maker with a lot of documents, you can find more wiki at here[1][2]. And we are try to use MESH network technology to protect our IoT data, here is some tutorial for BLE MESH[3] and OpenThread MESH[4].
BTW, if you are intersted in FIDO U2F security key, please check here[5], an open source FIDO U2F implementation on nRF52 SoC.

>>It's easy to bridge from Arduino to Atmel AVR IF you know how to do board layout. Startups need to either grow their knowledge of electronics or hire some electrical engineers.
I agree, hardware can not agile like software is. So you have to re-design your product from prototype(like Arduino).
Even more, you should outsource your hardware design to other professional hardware company, such as design house.
There are[1] short story write with hanyu pinyin(a latin alphabet system) which all words with the same pronunciation.

Some description above the pic:
• The size of ESP-3212 Wifi module is 16mm x 24mm x 3m.
• The ESP-3212 deploys 4MB SPI Flash with WSOP-8 package. It also uses 3DBi PCB antenna on board.
ESP3212 is an module, ESP32 is the chip.[1]: http://www.seeedstudio.com/ESP3212-Wifi-Bluetooth-Combo-Modu...
It can be built as an Amazon Echo clone.
But the most important feature is that you can embed it to your product/object but with advanced voice technology, such Far-field Voice Capture, Beamforming, Acoustic Source Localization, Nosie Suppression, De-reverberation and Acoustic Echo Cancellation.
And also it contains a lot feature, such touch, Arduino compatible, expansion header pins, etc. So if you want to build a funny toy instrument, ReSpeaker should be good choice. Or embedding ReSpeaker into a robot which you can chat with.
Besides, it's easy to develop another hardware module motor driver.
