- 1New ESP32 chip can run Linux, edging toward Raspberry Pi territory●The newest ESP32 can run Linux and it's getting close to a Raspberry Pi
Espressif's latest ESP32 microcontroller is now capable of running Linux, a feat once considered impractical for such low-cost chips. The development puts it closer in capability to entry-level Raspberry Pi boards, blurring the line between microcontrollers and single-board computers. Tech enthusiasts are weighing what this means for cheap embedded projects and whether it could undercut more expensive hobbyist hardware.
