The microphone array is available from Seeed Studios as a separate board,
and while the "Don dock" board has pins for it, the "Go" board has a ribbon
cable connector.
These are actually really useful as they allow you to attenuate the
background, which is really useful if you're a fireman and someone is using
a buzzsaw nearby.
The "Don dock" board (the $20 one) has a digital microphone and an
amplified stereo speaker output. I think we'd end up using an I2S CODEC. It
can execute in place from one SPI FLASH device to save RAM. We don't know
how big the FLASH chip is, but assume 8 MB until told otherwise. There is
also a microSD socket. I doubt it can execute in place from microSD, so you
have to use the RAM as program memory.
Getting the documentation straight will take time, like when the ESP8266
came out.
