Espressif's latest ESP32 microcontroller is reportedly capable of running Linux, a feat previously out of reach for the low-cost chip family. The development puts the inexpensive module closer than ever to the capabilities of a Raspberry Pi single-board computer, blurring the line between microcontrollers and full Linux-capable boards. Makers and embedded developers are weighing what cheaper Linux-capable hardware could mean for hobbyist and industrial projects.
