Akesson has published an hour-long technical breakdown explaining the tricks involved, including clever use of the RISC-V core, peripherals, and an interpolator hack for 3D acceleration. The piece highlights the broader trend of pushing modern microcontrollers to their absolute limits. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
