Well, maybe someone will do that for you, but not me. It's probably doable, but I'm snowed under with work right now. I'm looking forward to tinkering with some designs using RISC-V MCUs (that's pronouced "risk-five" if you were wondering). Completely open architecture and, from the benchmarks I've seen, pretty darned fast. --Chuck
