I feel there is a gap between MCU and modern CPU, and also between the software running on top of them. The missing piece is a mid-size computer with:
- A processor, single or multi-core, with computing power like 20 years ago, but modern fabrication process. Maybe without MMU for simplicity.
- RAM between 100MB~1GB and DDR2/3 bandwidth.
- An OS designed and implemented for this type of hardware rather than tailored Linux.
I don't think you can use it for working or your daily entertainment, so I guess not a good business to attract interests.
I found some of these boards in a box last year and was unable to do anything with them… Intel has thoroughly erased all documentation and SDKs from the internet. If anyone has those artifacts, please push to archive.org
For all intents and purposes, the fist raspberry pi is pretty much that, except maybe the tailored OS. Although I'm not sure what would even fit between a fully featured rtos and a trimmed down linux.
