Boufallo Lab BL616/BL618 RISC-V MCU Supports WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and Zigbee

I would have prefered a 64bits RISC-V cpu core, that, to share 64bits RISC-V (I know there is a good "compatibilty" between RISC-V 64bits ISA and 32bits ISA. "compatibilty"). My thought is: "Write 64bits RISC-V assembly once for all".

And it is missing that USB-C connector on the board and the memory card slot for booting code.

You'll tell me the pins are there, but then I am worried about the remaining count of usable GPIO pins.

If you want a 64bit RISC-V CPU then look at the Ox64 [1] from PINE64.

Yep. Even if there is an extra 32bits risc-v cpu.
