Even though I prefer *BSD to Linux I am afraid this is
unlikely when people are talking about porting µClinux
to a 10 cent riscv part (CH32V003)! Granted it is not a
full linux but still. BSDs have no resources for this.
Worse, many of these parts are insufficiently documented,
the same disease that afflicts all the io device vendors
who provide some windows/Linux driver but not enough
detailed documentation. And we will likely see more such
embedded devices in all sorts of inexpensive widgets.

I wonder if the era of general purpose computers will
survive.
