I've forwarded a few of my own questions to Arduino that I'll post to the element14 Community, mainly revolving around what's supported over the HDMI and DisplayPort, along with a 'high speed connector' it has available (and how that's used), but what we'd really like is to get some of these into your hands - maybe as a RoadTest or some kind of experimenting with competition.
I'm seeing a lot of microcontroller boards that straddle microcontroller hardware now, especially that they run 'ai models', but I'm not sure that people have gotten to grips with this yet, what's your level of working with them?
The answers from this will help us to tailor content from Arduino for the Community.
