That looks like rather little memory (768k SRAM; 32MB “PSRAM” has some sort of 
catch - is it serial-attached and slow?)  You’d have a chance with Inferno 
though: similar to David Boddie’s microcontroller ports 
https://github.com/dboddie/inferno-os (look at branches) except riscv instead 
of arm.  I haven’t heard of a port to ESP-riscv chips being done yet.  If the 
LoRa devices with nice screens and keyboards (like LilyGo T-Deck series) would 
start using the Risc-V ESP chips, I might be somewhat interested in that too.  
But I’m busy enough with the Plan 9 port for now, which is for Spacemit K1 and 
K3 so far (much more memory and performance).
