Is it worthy to build a fastest arduino compatible board?

Does Arduino Compatible refer to being compatible with Arduino Style Shields or does it mean it is supported in the Arduino IDE or some variation of such like the TI Energia IDE? To me, to be compatible…

Yes I know that Currently the fastest Arduino compatible board HiFive and cost around 59 USD

Of course.... Faster hardware opens up more applications to the large base of developers familiar with Arduino. However any claim to be the fastest will only be for a short time until a faster one gets developed.

I just checked. That's a 320 MHz clocked controller. I think it's faster than any microcontroller I have at home.

To me, to be compatible would mean it is supported in the Arduino IDE. Otherwise it is just a knock-off.

I agree it must be IDE supported to be an Arduino.

Several ST ARM based processors are supported, so a design based on one of the STM32H7.... parts should be reasonably easy to add to the IDE. This would give you a 400MHz clocked ARM with 64 bit floating point and 16 bit ADC.

It's not something I would want to do myself, but I think it could be made to work.

Yes that will be the fastest Arduino board.
I am thinking about building a Arduino style board with STM32H7 series MCU.
I have NUCLEO h743 and its just too fast and lots and lots of peripherals. I want to reduce the size of the board by using 100pin mcu instead of 144 or more pins

it can also be an arduino style board. Arduino IDE already support ARM mcu

mahmood.hassan Did you get this off the ground so to speak? Updates cause some others may be interested...

I was waiting for the release of dual core stm32h7.
But then due to some issues I couldn't continue the work.
Pcb is almost final.
