What Hacker News says
3 sourcesinterestingly, this is the first esp32 firmware i've seen that claims to support loadable native code applications ("elf apps"), even though it seems to come with only a single example:
https://github.com/ByteWelder/Tactility/blob/main/App/Source...
since a lot of the newer esp32 devices purport to be computers (e.g. lilygo t-deck/t-lora pager, m5stack cardputer, ...), it's a bit strange that with a typical esp-idf setup you can't actually run arbitrary code on them.

I think this device is begging for an IRC client though.
