   With all the different microcontroller platforms out there, it's sometimes annoying because there's a solution that does exactly what you want but it's targeting some weird architecture that isn't what you use, or has suddenly become hard to find.

   I think it's about time we organize all our open source microcontroller-based firmware around a simple, widely available, and powerful architecture, for consistency and interoperability.

   The Intel 80486.

     Microsoft's all open sourcing ms-DOS 4.0, Intel should open source the 80486.

     They're about the same age.

     I want a raspberry pico that's x86 and runs at 5v, is that so wrong?
