Ambiq 510 release

The Ambiq 510 MCU is getting released and will soon hit the shelves: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Ambiq/AP510NFA-CBR?qs=wT7LY0lnAe19158YpvedBA%3D%3D . This is going to be a huge improvement compared to what is available today.

Any hope to get an “Artemis-510” MCU line or products, that give us an Artemis module and Artemis boards with the Ambiq 510? This would be awesome, I think there would be quite some willingness to pay for something like this (at least, for my applications, I would be willing to pay quite a bit).

Wishlist:

  • an Ambiq-510 module like the Artemis module, that has the MCU + required components around it, and makes it easy to put on custom PCBs
  • some simple arduino-like boards (“UNO” and “MEGA” form factor)
  • a core that is “bare metal”, akin to the Artemis core v1
  • a core that is “RTOS”, akin to the Artemis core v2

Will it be possible to program these boards using the Arduino IDE?

Well, if Sparkfun would be willing to develop a product supporting it, this would be the hope yes :slight_smile: .
