Re: GAP8 IoT Processor
#2It seems smoke, it mentions that there is available boards but no clear way to buy/order.
It seems funded by public money and needs to show something to justify it.
Re: GAP8 IoT Processor
#3I've wondered for a while. What would you do with IoT ? The only applications that are somewhat desirable I've seen so far are wifi lightbulbs.
Given that LEDs are getting pretty hard to beat, both on price and possibilities, when it comes to lighting design and usually come with some sort of remote control, it's almost becoming the default.
But aside from that, what would you do ? Remote control doorknobs were popular for a while but didn't last at all. Anything else ?

#4This sounds way too good to be true.
- 8 core RISC-V w/DSP
- Hardware Convolution Unit
- RTC
- SDR!?
- Ultra low power
- Low cost
- Lots of libraries
I hope this is real, but I'll believe it when you can buy it.

Where do you see a SDR?
It has a software defined /modem/, but that's basically a fancy way of saying it has DSP facilities.

I've started getting interested in hardware for the past half-year or so. Thus far I've built a few projects that are generally useful and have lasted for a while - most of my projects are for learning so they get assembled, played with, then recycled for parts.
Things that I've kept have been:
* A system which sends me a text-message when the washing machine cycle is complete.
* A device that displays the departure times of the trams from the stop at the end of my street.
* A button that you can press which does "something" on the PC - generally plays "alarm.mp3".
* A bunch of temperature sensors which submit their data to a central service on my PC - so I can measure heat/humidity on my balcony, in my bathroom, and elsewhere nearby.
None of these projects are earth-shattering, but they are small enough to be useful. They all use WiFi to fetch data, or submit it. And should be hacker-proof ;)

Shows it has some sdr capabilitues in tbe 1mb/s range

Has radio capabilities in the imb/s range.

> FPGA demos of GAP8 are available to customers today, and GAP8 samples will be available in mid-2017.
That probably means that commercial availability will happen on q4 at earliest.
