Hi TL Lim, I already have a Pinecone on the way, thank you. Maybe some other NuttX developer would like to request one?
Regarding NuttX support, it would be good if Bouffalo/PINE64 could remain in communication with NuttX maintainers to ensure any internal effort to support BL602 can be indeed be integrated in mainline. I'm particularly interested in how you plan to expose BLE/WiFi considering the low-level parts are closed-source. For WiFi I imagine a similar path to how ESP32 is being supported could be followed (I'm not familiar with that anyway). For BLE, the ideal interface is by means of HCI commands. Is that the interface exposed by closed drivers? Best, Matias PS: thanks for letting me know about SMA-Q3 switching MCU. That is too bad.
