https://www.hackster.io/news/olimex-s-one-euro-rvpc-single-board-computer-goes-up-for-sale-next-week-1cfe4fe2c985- CH32V003 MCU, 24 MHz, 16KB flash, 2KB ram, and 128B NVRAM
- Uses EC subset of RV32 architecture, so only 16 registers instead
of 32, but this is fine for Forth
- PS/2 keyboard connector
- VGA video connector
- Can apparenty supposedly 800x600 pixels on VGA, not sure how that is
possible with just 2K of ram
- Supposedly available starting next week on olimex.com.
The CH32V003 is or was famous for being the cheapest flash-programmable
MCU at 0.10 USD per part. There are cheaper MCU's like the 3 cent
Padauk which is an 8 bitter, but they are one-time programmable.
Either way, there might not be enough flash and ram to host recent
versions of Mecrisp.
